The PGA Tour this week features the 2026 BMW Championship starting on Thursday at Bellerive Country Club in St. Louis, Missouri.<\/p>\n
The BMW Championship<\/a> marks the return of the PGA Tour to Missouri for the middle of the FedEx Cup playoffs.<\/p>\n We don’t see Bellerive too often, with the last time being the PGA Championship back in 2018. Longer hitters fared well that week, though I would anticipate for the 2026 BMW Championship field<\/a> that it’s not playing as much of a brawny course this go round.<\/p>\n Just a reminder that I make my expert picks looking at all fantasy leagues and formats. Whether you’re playing in a fantasy golf leagues, betting on golf, or competing in a DFS (DraftKings, FanDuel) event, our picks highlight the top PGA Tour golfers to watch this week from our 2026 BMW Championship rankings.<\/p>\n 2026 BMW Championship expert picks and rankings<\/p>\n 1. Scottie Scheffler<\/a>: Scheffler has been the top player in golf this year, and he won last week playing the kind of golf emblematic of his best.<\/p>\n 2. Sam Burns<\/a>: Burns couldn’t quite cut it on Sunday against Scottie Scheffler, but he continues to be in excellent form.<\/p>\n LISTEN TO GOLF NEWS NET RADIO 24\/7 3.

Matt Fitzpatrick<\/a>: Fitz showed up pretty well at a venue he typically likes, and he should be able to finish strong.<\/p>\n 5. Hideki Matsuyama<\/a>: Early on last week, it looked like it was one week in a row too many for Hideki, and then he finished T-7.<\/p>\n SAVE ON GNN MEMBERSHIP:<\/a> Join now, and get 2 years for $70 OR 3 years for $100!
