Olympia Fields Country Club will command a great deal of attention this week in the golf world. The top 50 players battling for the FedEx Cup will descend on Illinois for the 2023 BMW Championship. Last week, Lucas Glover won at the FedEx St. Jude Championship, defeating Patrick Cantlay in a playoff. Glover has won back-to-back events, while Cantlay is the two-time defending champion at the BMW Championship. In addition to the weekly purse, the FedEx Cup top 30 will move on to the TOUR Championship next week in Atlanta.
Rory McIlroy (+650) is the betting favorite in the latest 2023 BMW Championship odds, followed by Scottie Scheffler (+700), Jon Rahm (+900), and Patrick Cantlay (+900). Should you back one of the favorites this week, or is there better value on a longshot like Open Championship winner Brian Harman (+3500) for your 2023 BMW Championship fantasy golf picks? Before you consider your 2023 BMW Championship fantasy golf picks, you have to see the BMW Championship fantasy golf rankings from SportsLine handicapper Eric Cohen.
Cohen is an avid golf bettor who correctly predicted the pre-tournament outright winner of the 2023 Rocket Mortgage Classic (Rickie Fowler +1400), 2023 PGA Championship (Brooks Koepka +2000), 2023 Honda Classic (Chris Kirk +3500), 2022 Open Championship (Cameron Smith +2200), 2022 U.S. Open (Matt Fitzpatrick +2500), and 2022 Phoenix Open (Scottie Scheffler's first career victory at +2800).
He is a daily contributor to SportsLine's YouTube Show "Early Edge in 5" and is a guest on "The Early Wedge" SportsLine YouTube golf show hosted by Jonathan Coachman. Anyone who has followed Cohen's predictions is way up on their golf picks.
Now, Cohen has ranked his top golfers for the 2023 BMW Championship. Cohen's picks are only available at SportsLine.
2023 BMW Championship expert picks
One player Cohen loves this week is Lucas Glover. While Glover is not priced like an elite player, he is performing as one in recent days. That includes wins at both the Wyndham Championship and the FedEx St. Jude Championship in back-to-back weeks. Prior to that, Glover finished in the top six in three out of four tournaments, and he leads the PGA Tour in proximity to the hole on approach this season. Glover's putting has been a problem in the past, but he has rectified that issue with encouragingly strong metrics in recent days. Cohen is banking on that to continue at an attractive price.
On the flip side, the expert is fading Scottie Scheffer. Scheffler is one of the game's best players with a sky-high ceiling, but he is one of the betting favorites in the event and Cohen sees better value elsewhere. Scheffler's putting issues are considerable, both in recent days and throughout the season. He ranks 146th on tour in strokes gained putting this season, and he is outside the top 100 in putts per round, one-putt percentage, and putting accuracy inside 10 feet. Scheffler is arguably the best player in the world from tee-to-green, and it shows in the metrics, but the putter can hurt him. In addition, Scheffler is struggling by his lofty standards, including back-to-back tournaments in which he has finished outside the top 20. See all of Cohen's BMW Championship picks at SportsLine.
How to set 2023 BMW Championship fantasy golf lineups
For this week, Cohen is backing several underdogs in his 2023 BMW Championship fantasy golf picks, including one massive longshot who comes in at 125-1. Cohen notes that this player "has posted five top-10s" since May and that he brings "boom-or-bust" upside in this tournament. See who it is, and get all of Cohen's fantasy golf picks, at SportsLine.
