Can Scottie Scheffler win the $3,600,000 prize at BMW Championship 2023? Golfer’s odds and FedEx Cup standing explored
Scottie Scheffler will make his fourth appearance at the BMW Championship this week as the tournament tees off on Thursday, August 17, at Olympia Fields in Illinois.
Scheffler, who is currently second in the FedEx Cup standings, is one of the favorites to win the 2023 BMW Championship. As per Bet365, he is +800 alongside Rory McIlroy, who is third in the FedEx Cup points list.
The World No. 1 golfer has been in phenomenal form this year, as he tops the lists of Strokes Gained: Total, Tee to Green, and Approach the Green. He is second in Strokes Gained: Off the Tee.
Despite making 12 top-5 finishes, Scheffler won only two titles this year due to his putting, where he ranked 146th. Last week, the golfer made only his second finish outside of the top 30 this season at Memphis due to his putting problems.
In his three starts at the BMW Championship, Scheffler hasn't finished outside of the top 22, and last year he finished joint third. The last time the event was held at Olympia Fields in 2020, he finished T20 and is expected to do much better this year, given the season he has had.
