BMW Championship Betting Preview 2023

Golf betting tips for The BMW Championship (in more detail):

Rory McIlroy:

• To win outright (2 points win @ 8/1).

• Current form (last 5 starts): 2 – T7 – 1 – T6 – T3.

• Tournament form (last 5 starts): 5 – T19 – T12 – 4 – T8. 

Reasons to believe – Rory McIlroy:

“Rory is playing great golf at the moment and is coming off the back of a recent win (three events back). His new putter seemed to help a bit last week, but a few silly errors cost him in the end (finishing T3). The playoffs are here and he’s looking for his fourth win. If his putter can warm up a bit, he should be in contention come Sunday.” – ParUp Golf’s resident tipster ‘Big Dal’ on why he can win.

Xander Schauffele: 

• To win outright (2 points win @ 16/1).

• Current form (last 5 starts): T10 – T19 – T42 – T17 – T24.

• Tournament form (last 5 starts): T3 – T19 – T25 – T49 – T3. 

Reasons to believe – Xander Schauffele:

“Xander has been playing fairly well, with 4 top 25 finishes in the last 5 weeks. He is due a big week, and I don’t see why he can’t contend this week and make a push up the FedEx Cup standings.”” – ParUp Golf’s resident tipster ‘Big Dal’ on why he can win.

Sungjae Im:

• Each-way (1 point e/w @ 33/1 – 6 places, 1/5 odds).

• Current form (last 5 starts): MC – T20 – MC – T14 – T6. 

• Tournament form (last 5 starts): DNP – T11 – T56 – 3 – T17. 

Reasons to believe – Sungjae Im:

“Im has not had the best season, but he seems to be hitting some form at the right time. He finished tied 14th and tied 6th in his last two events, and he will be looking for a good week to improve his FedEx Cup standing ahead of East Lake, where he finished second last year.” – ParUp Golf’s resident tipster ‘Big Dal’ on why he can win.

Corey Conners:

• Each-way (1 point e/w @ 40/1 – 6 places, 1/5 odds).

• Current form (last 5 starts): MC – T9 – T19 – T52 – T6.

• Tournament form (last 5 starts): DNP – T7 – T33 – T22 – T5. 

Reasons to believe – Corey Conners:

“With ball striking and tee-to-green being essential this week, Conners is a good fit. He is coming off a T6 last week and is in good form, so I wouldn’t be surprised to see him in contention come Sunday.” – ParUp Golf’s resident tipster ‘Big Dal’ on why he can win.

Big Dal’s, big price outsider – Byeong Hun An:

• Each-way (1 point e/w @ 50/1 – 6 places, 1/5 odds).

• Current form (last 5 starts): T51 – T3 – T23 – T2 – T37.

• Tournament form (last 5 starts): T29 – T28 – T12 – DNP – DNP.

Reasons to believe – Byeong Hun An:

“This season has seen some incredible comeback stories, such as the return of Rickie Fowler and Jason Day, and the recent success of Lucas Glover. However, one player who has flown under the radar is Byeong Hun An. This time last year, he was outside the top 300 in the world and playing on the Korn Ferry Tour. Now, he is just outside the top 50 and one good week away from qualifying for the Tour Championship at East Lake. He finished T12 the last time he played here, so perhaps he can write his own fairy tale ending this year.” – ParUp Golf’s resident tipster ‘Big Dal’ on why he can win.
