The second stop of the FedEx Cup Playoffs is here as the top 50 in the points standings have made their way to Illinois for the BMW Championship at Olympia Fields.
The last time we were here, Jon Rahm and Dustin Johnson provided some of the best moments in recent memory, with Rahm coming out on top in a playoff.
Patrick Cantlay, who lost in extra holes to Lucas Glover at the FedEx St. Jude Championship last week, is the defending champion.
The top 30 in the standings Sunday evening will earn an invitation to the Tour Championship at East Lake in Atlanta.
Here are 10 players to watch for at the BMW Championship.
BMW: Odds, picks to win | Sleepers | Thursday tee times, how to watch
Cameron Young tees off on the first hole during the second round of the FedEx St. Jude Championship at TPC Southwind in Memphis, Tenn., on Friday, August 11, 2023.
It was between Young and Jordan Spieth for the 10th spot, but I went with Young. He’s the perfect course fit for Olympia Fields and has played well on this type of golf course before. Data Golf lists Southern Hills as a good course comparison for OFCC, and Young finished T-3 at the 2022 PGA Championship.
Young is No. 17 in the world and No. 46 in the point standings. He needs a great week to get into the Tour Championship.

Homa is trending. He has finished T-21 at the Rocket Mortgage Classic, T-12 at the Scottish Open, T-10 at the Open and T-6 at the FedEx St. Jude in his last four starts. He struggled at Olympia Fields in 2020, however, finishing T-59 (although he’s a much better player now than he was three years ago).
Homa is No. 7 in the world and No. 6 in the point standings.

The Englishman is on the verge of his first PGA Tour win, he’s just gotta get it across the finish line. Fleetwood has three straight top-10 finishes, including a T-3 in Memphis.
Fleetwood is No. 15 in the world and No. 10 in the point standings.
