BMW Championship 2025 Odds And Golf Betting Preview And Picks For FedExCup Playoffs
Just 50 golfers remain in the FedExCup Playoffs and the BMW Championship 2025 event returns to the 7,601 yard Par 70 at Caves Valley Golf Club just outside Baltimore.
The second leg of the FedExCup Playoffs is the BMW Championship, and the top 30 players in the FedExCup Standings following the event advance to the Tour Championship at East Lake in Atlanta for the FedExCup finale, where the PGA Tour has eliminated the Starting Strokes format.
Another heartbreaking loss for Tommy Fleetwood at last week’s opening playoff event FedEx St. Jude Championship. I had a pre-tournament bet on Fleetwood to win, and he lost a 2-shot lead with 3 holes to play. He actually trailed by 1-shot standing on the 18th tee, and his Ryder Cup teammate Justin Rose won over JJ Spaun to continue our ridiculous run of near misses in the outright win markets more recent years.
Fleetwood did cash our only posted tournament matchup to continue our strong season in matchup betting – the best way to win more consistently and profit from the experience of betting golf.
