Dustin Johnson the favorite at BMW Championship in second FedExCup Playoffs tourney

The PGA Tour has reached the second stage of its 2020 FedExCup Playoffs. The top 70 golfers in the world are competing this week in the BMW Championship at Olympia Fields just outside of Chicago.

The top 125 golfers competed last week at The Northern Trust and were pared down to the current 70. Dustin Johnson blew away the competition at TPC Boston, finishing at -30 and winning by 11 strokes. He climbed from 15th to 1st on the FedExCup Playoffs leaderboard.

The 70 qualifiers for the BMW Championship will cut down to 30 for next week’s season-ending TOUR Championship. There will be no cut this week at Olympia Fields.

Johnson is the favorite this week, installed at +850 at DraftKings Sportsbook. Johnson tied for 57th at last year’s BMW Championship and tied for 24th two years ago. He is followed by Jon Rahm (+1000), Justin Thomas (+1200), Webb Simpson (+1400), and Bryson DeChambeau (+1500) to round out the top five odds. Johnson, Thomas, and Simpson are the top three on the FedExCup leaderboard, followed by Daniel Berger and Collin Morikawa to round out that top five. Berger is +1800 to win this week while Morikawa is +2600.

Tiger Woods is 57th on the points leaderboard and is installed at +3500 to win, +750 to finish top 5, and +350 to finish top 10. He’ll likely need an impressive performance this week to advance to the TOUR Championship. Woods tied for 37th at last year’s BMW Championship and tied for 6th the year prior.
