When it comes to the odds of winning the quickly approaching BMW Championship, the top favorites are the same as they generally are heading into any major or big, non-major tournament. The question that golf bettors everywhere need to know heading into the 2017 BMW Championship is whether or not, the likes of Jordan Spieth, Dustin Johnson and some other top favorites, will be beaten out by either a longer shot contender or an ‘unknown’ competitor that no one had winning this year’s BMW title.
Thanks to my expert analysis on the quickly approaching tournament, you’re going to have a great idea where to place your golf betting bucks this weekend. Now, let’s get down to business.
