The penultimate stop on the FedExCup playoffs gets underway this week in Medinah, Illinois at the BMW Championship. If it has to do with opportunities lists, Brooks Koepka and Rory McIlroy would be the +800 co-favorites to go all of the way.
Koepka and McIlroy will 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.
Just 30 places are online for the Tour Championship at East Lake, so a solid performance at Medinah is critical. The last time reigning FedExCup champion Rose and 2016 winner 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 guy has successfully defended his FedExCup name.
Last year at the championship Keegan Bradley pulled off an improbable hit to win for first time in more than five years when the event was held at Aronimink Golf Club in Newton Square, Pennsylvania. This was the very first time Bradley advanced into the Tour Championship since 2013. The American is a shot.
The program, a 7,657-yard par 72, has been a staple among American golfing dating all of the way back into the 1920s. The track has hosted the Ryder Cup (2012), three U.S. Opens (1949, 1975 and 1990), 2 PGA Championships (1999, 2006) and also a lot of other events at the pre-PGA Tour era.
