Odds to Win the BMW Championship
The third leg of the FedExCup playoffs gets underway at Aronimink Golf Club in Newton Square, Pennsylvania this week when the top players on the PGA Tour test their abilities on the links. According to oddsmakers, Dustin Johnson is the favorite to hoist the hardware on Sunday.
Last year’s BMW Championship winner, Marc Leishman, is +5500 to go back to back
Johnson is +850 at Bovada, with Justin Thomas (+1000), Brooks Koepka (+1200), Rory McIlroy (+1600), Jason Day (+1600), Tiger Woods (+1800), Jordan Spieth (+2000), Tony Finau (+2000), Rickie Fowler (+2200) and Justin Rose (+2500) making up the rest of the top 10 at the shop.

Fowler is making his return to action after missing the first two postseason tournaments due to an oblique injury, while British Open champion Francesco Molinari is also set to participate after sitting out of last week’s Dell Technologies Championship to rest. The Italian is +2800 to go all the way.
Can DeChambeau keep his hot streak going?
Bryson DeChambeau is on an absolute heater right now after claiming the first two legs of the playoffs – the Northern Trust and the Dell Technologies Championship – and has risen up the oddsboard as a result. The 24-year-old tops the FedExCup standings at 5,617 points, with Johnson (3,289), Rose (3,191), Finau (3,169) and Thomas (3,084) trailing him. The American is +3300 to win his third tournament in a row.
Marc Leishman opened with rounds of 62 and 64 at the BMW Championship last year and cruised to a five-stroke romp over Rose and Fowler as a result. The Aussie took a five-shot lead into the final day and didn’t look back, finishing with a 23-under-par 261 to break the scoring record previously held by Tiger Woods in 2007 at Cog Hill. If you’re looking to grab Leishman to repeat, he’s available at +5500 odds.
The course, a 7,237-yard par 70, was founded in 1896 and hosted its first major in 1962 when the PGA Championship arrived. The track recently underwent a $4-million renovation to restore some its old features, including the return of 100 bunkers.
