Jon Rahm top five finish - 15/8 with William Hill. Tommy Fleetwood to win e/w bmw pga championship odds 20/1 with Parimatch. 14 - 17 Sep BMW PGA Championship. Wentworth Club, Virginia Water, Surrey, England. Wentworth BMW PGA 4 in the FedEx Cup standings. The latest BMW Championship odds list Cantlay among the favorites atwhile Glover is a longshot.
Christiaan Bezuidenhout has finished 3 rd there; Kiradech Aphibarnrat has top 5s in the two events and Alex Noren has finished 4 th. Whilst last week, Rory again performed well, as did Wentworth winner, Billy Horschel for a long way; Shane Lowry and Shubhankar Sharma other performers there who have good form here.
There are a couple of spots of rain predicted before the start of the event this week and that could continue into the event itself, with Friday currently forecasting rain. However this dies down over what is set to be a cooler and cloudy weekend. Tom Kim is an exciting entrant making his debut this week; Billy Horschel will be hoping to shrug off a poor back nine on Sunday on what was an otherwise promising week in Ireland, for a repeat success of his win; Adam Scott makes his third consecutive start in the BMW PGA and Tom Hoge will also be having his first try at the course.
All three have good records here and it goes without saying that the rest of the field could have a tough job on their hands to keep one of these out of that number one spot. Instead my headline selection this week is the next man in the betting and someone playing some of the best golf on the planet over recent months, Tommy Fleetwood.
Of course, that breakthrough PGA Tour win has eluded him, with his 2 nd in Canada particularly frustrating — as an event he really ought to have won. Fleetwood has played here eleven times and has five top 25 finishes. His best came when 6 th in , although his next two best results at Wentworth have both come in the last three years, when finishing 12 th in and 13 th in His correlating form is also strong, as a two-time winner of the Nedbank Challenge, whilst he has several top 10s at Crans and a good record in the BMW International Open, including a best of 6 th in He was able to put this huge disappointment to one side to produce a good performance in Ireland last week, finishing 23 rd and with each member of that team in attendance this week, he has a golden opportunity to show just why he was wrongly overlooked for selection this week.
The Pole has long been known for his prowess with the driver and indeed he ranks as the best player off-the-tee on the DPWT this season. However the biggest encouragement from his performances this year can be taken from his iron play, with his rankings of 4 th in greens-in-regulation and 21 st in approach a significant improvement on stats of 38 th and th in these respective areas last season.
As the 18 th -best par 5 scorer and ranking top 25 in scrambling, he was the strongest statistical contender of the DPWT regulars for me this week. He missed the cut here on debut in but stepped it up markedly last year, finishing 32 nd and shooting under par in every round.
Though Ryan Fox amongst others… will no doubt be frustrated that he missed a fantastic chance at finally getting an Irish Open win at the K Club last week, that 3 rd was still an excellent return to action for the New Zealander and with the driver looking in fine form there, he should be set for a best-ever performance at Wentworth this week.
That was his first regular DPWT start in around seven months — after spending much of this season playing solidly on the PGA Tour — and his first start anywhere in six weeks. This confidence is increased by not only his performance last week, but also his 2 nd in the Nedbank and 3 rd in the BMW International Open last year.
Fox hit the ball excellently at the K Club, ranking 1 st off-the-tee and 15 th in greens-in-regulation. Alexander Bjork missed his first cut of the year last week in the Irish Open. That is very easy to forgive considering the incredible level of consistently strong form he has shown this year and he looks a nice price to bounce back at Wentworth this week.
Bjork is simply having the best year of his golfing career and by some way. He is excelling in every area, looking particularly good in approach and scrambling; areas in which he ranks 1 st on the DPWT this season and this is a course where his accurate driving — for which he ranks 3 rd — is important. As a top 20 par 5 scorer, he has the skillset to take it to those two closing holes.
As has often proven the case with him, he can find his game at any moment and following an underwhelming run of form after his win in Germany, he burst back into life with that 3 rd at the K Club. A performance engineered by a strong ball-striking display, as he ranked 13 th off-the-tee, 22 nd in greens-in-regulation and 29 th in approach.

Correlating Events Courses For a course with so much history, I found trying to form strong correlations with Wentworth a little tricky. However there were four courses that stood out for a number of reasons this week: Omega European Masters Crans-sur-Sierre Crans-sur-Sierre is a strategic, tree-lined course that produces similar tee-to-green stats as Wentworth; also comparing closely in birdie making and bogey avoidance numbers.
Courses like Abu Dhabi Golf Club and Emirates golf Club in the Middle East threw out an abundance of form-ties but with little to link these events to Wentworth aesthetically or in the way they play statistically, I largely put these links down to the stronger fields these events typically produce; hence top players often performing well across the courses.
It would also be easy to just throw in any combination of more classically designed, tree-lined courses but few ranked overly close from a statistical point of view. Crans-sur-Sierre is a strategic, tree-lined course that produces similar tee-to-green stats as Wentworth; also comparing closely in birdie making and bogey avoidance numbers. Many players have won at these two storied events; from Danny Willett and Alex Noren in more recent times to Miguel Angel Jimenez and Colin Montgomerie in years long gone by.
Amongst a large list of players with correlating form are Jamie Donaldson, who has finished 2 nd here at Wentworth and 3 rd there; BMW PGA winner, Tyrrell Hatton has finished 3 rd three times at Crans; Matt Fitzpatrick has won at Crans twice and never missed a cut here, including recording two top 10s. Gary Player Country Club is a largely tree-lined, smartly bunkered course.
Danny Willett and Alex Noren are again past champions of both events. Christiaan Bezuidenhout is a past winner there and has finishes of 3 rd and 5 th at Wentworth; as is Branden Grace, who has twice finished 5 th here. Henrik Stenson has won there and recorded finishes of 3 rd and 7 th here.
Jamie Donaldson has finished runner-up twice at Gary Player CC; Shubhankar Sharma has a 3 rd there to compliment a good record here, including a 9 th in and Alejandro Canizares has top 4s at both courses. Golfclub Munchen Eichenried is a loosely tree-lined course that ranks closely to Wentworth in almost every aspect and poses a challenge of a similar level of difficulty.
Christiaan Bezuidenhout has finished 3 rd there; Kiradech Aphibarnrat has top 5s in the two events and Alex Noren has finished 4 th.
