Even the penultimate stop on the FedExCup playoffs gets underway this week at Medinah, Illinois at the BMW Championship. If it comes to chances lists, Brooks Koepka and Rory McIlroy are the +800 co-favorites to proceed all the way.
Koepka and McIlroy would be the +800 favorites in 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.
