Can anyone catch Scottie?
In reality, yes, but it’ll be tough considering Scheffler is rolling right now and playing through his best stretch of the season over his last eight starts. From the CJ Cup Byron Nelson to now, Scheffler has notched a top-5 finish six times, including his most recent win at the FedEx St. Jude Championship last week.

His -25 at the CJ Cup Byron Nelson, -21 at the Travelers Championship, and -22 at the 3M Open are his top-3 performances in 2026.
Historically, Scheffler does well at the BMW Championship. He’s competed in every tournament since 2020, with five of the six being top-25 finishes, including three in the top-3 and a win last year after rallying from a 4-shot deficit for his fifth win of the year.
This year, Bellerive Country Club in St. Louis, Missouri, hosts the BMW Championship, the first time the PGA Tour has played this course since 2018. Scheffler has never played here.
Of the top-5 strongest prices on the board, Rory McIlroy is the only one who has played the course back in 2018, when he finished T50 at the PGA Championship.
The 2026 BMW Championship tees off on Thursday, August 20th and runs until Sunday, August 23rd.
