Even the penultimate stop on the FedExCup playoffs gets underway this week in Medinah, Illinois at the BMW Championship. If it comes to opportunities lists, Brooks Koepka and Rory McIlroy would be the +800 co-favorites to proceed all of the way.
Koepka and McIlroy would be the +800 favorites at BetOnline, together with Jon Rahm (+1000), Dustin Johnson (+1400), Justin Rose (+1600), Justin Thomas (+1600), Patrick Cantlay (+2000), Webb Simpson (+2000), Patrick Reed (+2200) and Adam Scott (+2500) rounding out the top 10.
Only 30 places are on the line for the Tour Championship at East Lake, so a strong performance in Medinah is critical. The previous time reigning FedExCup winner Rose and 2016 champion McIlroy played with the course was at the 2012 Ryder Cup — a victory for Europe. The winner of the BMW Championship will receive 2,000 FedExCup points. No man has successfully defended his FedExCup name.
Last year at the tournament Keegan Bradley pulled off an improbable success to win for the first time in more than five years once the event was held at Aronimink Golf Club in Newton Square, Pennsylvania. This was the very first time Bradley advanced to the Tour Championship since 2013. The American is a +15000 long shot to go back to back.
The program, a 7,657-yard par 72, has been a staple amongst American golfing dating all of the way back into the 1920s. The course has hosted the Ryder Cup (2012), three U.S. Opens (1949, 1975 and 1990), 2 PGA Championships (1999, 2006) and also lots of other events at the pre-PGA Tour era.
