The PGA Tour playoffs continue with the BMW Championship from Castle Pines Golf Club just outside of Denver, Colorado.
Only the top 50 players in the standings are in the field, led by the Nos. 1 and 2 players in the standings, Scottie Scheffler and Xander Schauffele.
These two are dominating the golf betting at the BetMGM online sportsbook. As of Wednesday, they’re combining for 44.3% of the money in the outright winner market.
Scheffler, who has the best odds to win at +333, is taking in the most tickets (23.8%) and the most money (28.8%).
The 28-year-old is coming off a solo fourth finish at last week’s FedEx St. Jude Championship. The PGA Tour hasn’t been to Castle Pines since 2006, so there really is no course history to go off of.
Schauffele, who has the second-best odds to win at +600, is drawing the second-most tickets (10.9%) on the second-most money (15.5%).
He finished T-2 at last week’s FedEx St. Jude Championship.
Viktor Hovland (+1800) is another popular pick, pulling in the third-most money (5.9%) on the third-most tickets (8%).
The trio are BetMGM’s biggest liabilities for the week.
