The FedEx Cup's top 50 head to Castle Pines Golf Club for the annual BMW Championship, but who will leave with the winner's prize?
Viktor Hovland is back to defend his title after a two-stroke victory over Matt Fitzpatrick and Scottie Scheffler in 2023.
The top 30 players in the FedEx Cup points standings after this tournament will qualify for the season-ending Tour Championship at East Lake in Atlanta, Georgia.
Past and present Major winners in the lineup include Xander Schauffele, Scottie Scheffler, Brian Harman, Wyndham Clark, Keegan Bradley, Jason Day, Collin Morikawa, Matt Fitzpatrick, Rory McIlroy, Hideki Matsuyama, Adam Scott, Shane Lowry, and Justin Thomas.
These are our four selections that could win the title this weekend.
Xander Schauffele
Xander Schauffele has been in outstanding touch on the PGA Tour since mid-May, 2nd at the Wells Fargo Championship, victory at the PGA Championship, T8 at the Memorial Tournament, T7 at the U.S. Open, T13 at the Travelers Championship and T15 at the Genesis Scottish Open.
He followed that with victory at the Open Championship, T9 at the Paris Olympics and T2 at the FedEx St. Jude Championship.
Other notable results achieved by Schauffele on the PGA Tour this season include finishing T10 at the Sentry, T3 at the American Express, T9 at the Farmers Insurance Open, T4 at the Genesis Invitational, T2 at the Players Championship, T5 at the Valspar Championship, 8th at the Masters and T18 at the RBC Heritage.
The world's second-ranked player has competed at the BMW Championship seven times, finishng T20 in 2017, T3 in 2018, T19 in 2019, T25 in 2020, T49 in 2021, T3 in 2022 and T8 in 2023.
Schauffele has been posting excellent results throughout the season and has claims for the title at the Castle Pines Golf Club this weekend.
Sam Burns
Sam Burns has played well on the PGA Tour during the past three months, finishing T13 at the Wells Fargo Championship, MC at the PGA Championship, T10 at the RBC Canadian Open, T15 at the Memorial Tournament, T9 at the U.S. Open, T55 at the Travelers Championship, T31 at the Open Championship, T12 at the 3M Open and T5 at the recent FedEx St. Jude Championship.
Other noteworthy performances achieved by Burns this season include placing T6 at the American Express, 10th at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, T3 at the WM Phoenix Open and T10 at the Genesis Invitational.
The five-time PGA Tour winner has made three appearances at the BMW Championship, finishing 8th in 2021, T19 in 2022, and T15 in 2023.
Burns has been inching his way up the leaderboard in recent outings and could upstage the others in Colorado come Sunday.
Billy Horschel
Billy Horschel had mediocre to good form after his victory at the Corales Puntacana Championship towards the end of April, with results of MC at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans, T52 at the Wells Fargo Championship and T8 at the PGA Championship.
He was then T24 at the Charles Schwab Challenge, T15 at the Memorial Tournament, T41 at the U.S. Open, T55 at the Travelers Championship and MC at the Genesis Scottish Open.
Horschel has regained his touch lately, placing T2 at the Open Championship, T7 at the Wyndham Championship and T10 at the FedEx St. Jude Championship in his subsequent three starts.
Additional highlights achieved by Horschel this season on the PGA Tour include finishing T18 at the Sony Open in Hawaii, T9 at the Cognizant Classic, T12 at the Valspar Championship and T7 at the Texas Children's Houston Open.
The 37-year-old American has a long history with the BMW Championship, finishing T18 in 2013, victory in 2014, T32 in 2015, T10 in 2016, 62nd in 2017, T3 in 2018, T37 in 2019, T33 in 2020, T52 in 2021 and T35 in 2022.
Horschel comes into this tournament on the back of solid results and could cause an upset victory in Denver this weekend.
Corey Conners
Corey Conners has been in consistent form since the end of April, placing T11 at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans, T13 at the Wells Fargo Championship, T26 at the PGA Championship, T6 at the RBC Canadian Open and T20 at the Memorial Tournament.
He then placed T9 at the U.S. Open, T27 at the Travelers Championship, T10 at the Genesis Scottish Open, T25 at the Open Championship, T9 at the Paris Olympics and T50 at the FedEx St. Jude Championship last weekend.
Other prominent performances achieved by Conners on the PGA Tour this season include finishing T24 at the Genesis Invitational, T18 at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, T13 at the Players Championship and T25 at the Valero Texas Open.
The Canadian golfer has featured five times at the BMW Championship, placing T7 in 2017, T33 in 2020, T22 in 2021, T5 in 2022 and T10 in 2023.
Conners has been thereabouts lately and offers an excellent each-way bet at the Castle Pines Golf Club.
Verdict
Burns has the form to make the frame in Colorado come Sunday.
Horschel has come good lately and could cause an upset victory at the Castle Pines Golf Club this weekend.
Conners has threatened to put in a big performance in recent starts on the PGA Tour and should enter calculations.
