Can Jon Rahm win the BMW Championship 2023? Golfer’s odds and FedEx Cup standing explored

Modified Aug 16, 2023 18:51 GMT

Jon Rahm is making his seventh appearance at the BMW Championship. It will be played from Thursday, August 17, to Sunday, August 20, at Olympia Fields in Illinois.

Olympia Fields last hosted the BMW Championship in 2020, and Rahm emerged victorious that year, beating Dustin Johnson in the playoffs. The win was quite dramatic, as he began with a 5-over 75 but finished with a 64, the lowest round posted by anyone in the tournament that year.

According to bet365, Jon Rahm is the third favorite to win the BMW Championship with odds of +950. The 28-year-old golfer has had an incredible season, clinching four PGA Tour titles, including the Masters, this year. Interestingly, he hasn't won a title since his win at Augusta National in April.

The Spaniard earned enough FedEx Cup points this season that he remained unaffected at the top, despite securing a T37 finish at the FedEx St. Jude Championship last week. However, this can change if he doesn't get the desired result at Olympia Fields.

While the two-time major winner is the third favorite at Olympia Fields, the top two favorites to lift the title this week are Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler at +800.

Here are the complete odds for the 2023 BMW Championship according to bet365:
