PGA BMW Championship – Preview and Betting Odds

The BMW Championship is a professional golf tournament that is the penultimate FedEx Cup playoff event on the PGA Tour schedule. 

Introduced in 2007, the BMW Championship was previously known as the Western Open. 

The Western Golf Association, which founded and ran the Western Open, runs the tournament even under its new name. 

In 2012, 2013, and 2014, the PGA Tour named the BMW Championship its Tournament of the Year.

It is the longest-running regular event on the calendar outside of the four major tournaments.

Event Overview – BMW Championship – 2022 – PGA Golf Tour

The BMW Championship is open to the top 70 PGA Tour golfers following the FedEx St. Jude Championship. 

With only seventy players in the field, there is no 36-hole cut. FedEx Cup points amassed during the regular PGA Tour season and then during The Northern Trust determine the participants. 

The top 30 FedEx Cup points leaders following the BMW Championship advance to the final playoff event, The Tour Championship, where the FedEx Cup Champion will be determined.

Rory McIlroy enters as the tournament favorite, but he’s looking for a return to form after missing the cut at last weekend’s FedEx St. Jude Championship. 

Other 2022 BMW Championship contenders like Jon Rahm, FedEx Cup points leader Will Zalatoris and World No. 1 golfer Scottie Scheffler also headline the field.
