2024 BMW Championship Pick6 picks, Round 1 predictions, odds: Rory McIlroy under 4.5 birdies one of the best bets
There are several ways for golf fans to bet on the 2024 BMW Championship, which begins Thursday, August 22 at Castle Pines Golf Club in Colorado. You can pick the winner of the entire tournament, or you can dive deeper into the PGA Tour props market. PGA props picks are based on how a particular golfer will perform at the 2024 BMW Championship, the second of three events in the FedEx Cup Playoffs. Play begins Thursday at 9:25 a.m. ET, so now is the time to lock in your PGA picks.
Scottie Scheffler’s over/under for total strokes in Round 1 is 68.5. Will Scheffler cash in on PGA prop bets, or will he fall short and shoot 69 or better in Thursday’s opening round? There’s a lot of value in the hundreds of PGA Tour props available in the latest 2024 BMW Championship odds. With sites like DraftKings, FanDuel, PrizePicks, Underdog Fantasy, Sleeper Fantasy and more offering so many games around BMW Championship PGA props, you’ll want to check out the 2024 BMW Championship props and PGA prop predictions from SportsLine’s Mike McClure.

The same model has also driven the 13 major tournaments entering the weekend, including the 2024 Masters, the third Masters in a row, and this year’s PGA Championship and US Open. Anyone who has followed it has reaped huge benefits.
Now, McClure has turned his focus to Round 1 of the 2024 BMW Championship and locked in his best bets for DraftKings Pick 6. You can see them exclusively here.
2024 BMW Championship Top Picks for Round 1
McClure believes Rory McIlroy will finish with less than 4.5 birdies in Round 1. McIlroy has won the FedEx Cup three times in his career, the most by any player on the PGA Tour. However, McIlroy has struggled considerably in recent weeks, finishing T-68 or worse in his last two starts on the PGA Tour.
The 35-year-old enters this week’s event averaging 4.03 birdies per round, which ranks 43rd on the PGA Tour. He’s 83rd in driving accuracy and 105th in greens in regulation percentage (65.66%), which doesn’t bode well for his chances of falling short on a course like Castle Pines. These inconsistencies are a big reason why McClure expects to finish with four or fewer birdies in Round 1. See McClure’s other BMW Championship picks here.
