2024 BMW Championship odds, picks, field: Surprising predictions by golf model that has ruled out 13 majors
Scottie Scheffler is poised to cap off a stellar season, but first he needs a solid performance at the 2024 BMW Championship, which starts Thursday at 9:25 a.m. ET. The world No. 1 returned to PGA action last week after winning gold at the 2024 Paris Olympics, but finished tied for fourth at the FedEx St. Jude Championship. He hasn’t played at Castle Pines since 2006, though finishing fourth on the PGA Tour in total driving (91) will give him a boost in the thin mountain air at the BMW Championship 2024.
Scheffler is the +330 favorite this week on the PGA odds board, followed by Xander Schauffele (+550), Rory McIlroy (+1200) and Collin Morikawa (+1400). Before you decide your picks for the 2024 BMW Championship, be sure to check out the golf predictions and projected leaderboard from the proven computer model at SportsLine.

Top predictions for the 2024 BMW Championship
The model is expecting a big surprise at the 2024 BMW Championship: McIlroy (12-1), a 26-time winner on the PGA Tour and one of the top favorites, stumbled this week and failed to even finish in the top five. McIlroy’s performance has been extremely inconsistent since finishing runner-up at the US Open in June. He tied for fourth at the Genesis Scottish Open, but missed the cut at the British Open and finished 68th at the FedEx St. Jude Championship.
McIlroy has struggled with accuracy off the tee this season, ranking 83rd in driving accuracy (60.94%). He’s also been inaccurate with his irons, ranking 105th in hitting greens in regulation percentage (65.66%). He’s not a strong pick to win it all and there are far better values in the 2024 BMW Championship field. Here’s a look at who else is fading.
Another surprise: 30-1 longshot Tommy Fleetwood made a strong run to the title. The Olympic silver medalist is ninth on the PGA Tour in total driving (107), which gives him an edge competing at the high altitude in Denver. Castle Pines has also been compared to Augusta National, where Fleetwood finished T3 at the 2024 Masters.
The Englishman has also enjoyed plenty of success at the BMW Championship, having finished in the top-10 three times this season. He has finished in the top-25 in all three of his previous starts at the tournament, including an eighth-place finish in 2018. His current form and his past performances at this event make it clear why the model has high hopes for Fleetwood to go strong at the 2024 BMW Championship. See who else to back here.

The model is also targeting two other golfers with odds of 30-1 or better who would be strong contenders for the title. Anyone who backs these longshots could win the majors. You can see just the model’s picks here.
