2026 BMW Championship odds: Scottie Scheffler huge favorite in St. Louis

Scottie Scheffler continues to dominate the professional golf world, and the upcoming 2026 BMW Championship is no exception, at least according to betting odds. After a convincing victory at the FedEx St. Jude Championship, which solidified his lead in the FedEx Cup standings, Scheffler has become the outright favorite for the upcoming tournament, set to be held at Bellerive CC in St. Louis.

Scheffler - The Top Contender

Scheffler, ranked World No. 1, has already established himself as a consistent favorite in every tournament he enters. His recent win at the FedEx St. Jude Championship marked his second victory of the season and further extended his lead in the FedEx Cup standings heading into the playoffs.

Bookmakers have set Scheffler's odds to win the BMW Championship at +300. This reflects his consistently high level of play and dominance throughout the season. Even when he wasn't winning, he remained among the top contenders, and now that victories are becoming more frequent, his position has been further strengthened.

Other Contenders and Their Odds

Rory McIlroy (+1375) is second in the odds. After a break in play, McIlroy returned at the FedEx St. Jude Championship but didn't show his best form, finishing in 66th place. Nevertheless, he remains 13th in the FedEx Cup standings, and bookmakers see him as a serious competitor, despite his recent results.

Not far behind McIlroy are Sam Burns (+1475) and Tommy Fleetwood (+1800). These players are also demonstrating a high level of play and are capable of competing for the main trophy.

Three big names – Sam Burns, Tommy Fleetwood, as well as Ludvig Aberg, Cameron Young, and Xander Schauffele – round out the top contenders with odds of +2000. These players are known for their potential and ability to deliver surprises.
