The FedEx Cup Playoffs roll on this week in Illinois at Olympia Fields’ North Course for the BMW Championship.
After lifting another piece of hardware in Memphis, Lucas Glover owns the No. 4 spot in the points standings, trailing only Rory McIlroy (No. 3), Scottie Scheffler (No. 2) and Jon Rahm (No. 1).
Although Patrick Cantlay is technically the defending champion of this event, Rahm is the last player to win at OFCC for the BMW, taking down LIV Golf’s Dustin Johnson in a playoff back in 2020.
On the odds sheet, there’s clear separation between the top four players — McIlroy (+650), Scheffler (+700), Rahm (+900) and Cantlay (+1000) —and the rest of the field, but that doesn’t mean someone can’t shock the world.
Here are five sleeper picks for the BMW Championship.
