BMW Championship golf betting guide

The top-70 players on the FedEx Cup rankings head to Conway Farms GC in Illinois this week to contest the BMW Championship.

Rory McIlroy is the defending champion but is too skinny at 20/1 due to his continued lack of form.

The likely hot quartet of Woods, Stenson, Scott and Mickelson are all shorter than Mcilroy and I am not sure they are great value.

You could also have fancied Luke Donald in the past as he is playing at what is essentially a home venue for him, and at4 0/1 he may still be attractive to some this week even though he is playing below his best.

Justin Rose at 20/1 with Ladbrokes, looking at his season it has been an incredible year for him, he has played 15 events made the cut in 13 of them and finished top 25 in 12 of those. Champion here in 2011, should compete.

Jason Dufner at 25/1 with Ladbrokes, odds seem long for someone who won his first Major a matter of weeks ago and was Top 10 let week, take advantage of this!

Sergio Garcia at 33/1 with Ladbrokes, five top 10s from 15 starts without any cuts, playing as well as he has been, and only a 73 in the final round last week stopped him taking the title.

Ernie Els at 80/1 with Ladbrokes, not a classic season for the South African, but had had 7 Top 25 and shot four rounds in the 60s last week. Made the field this week on the number and will look to have a good week to make use of this good fortune.

Boo Weekly at 150/1 with Ladbrokes, whether through blind loyalty or a high price Boo Weekley continues to be picked ny me. He is a large price for someone who has won on tour already this season. He is 19th on the FedExCup Ranking, only missed four cuts all season, what do you think?
