Can Patrick Cantlay add $3,600,000 to earnings by defending his BMW Championship title this weekend?

With the first stage of the FedEx Cup over, the field now moves on to the BMW Championship. Patrick Cantlay's performance at the St. Jude FedEx Championship was nothing less than impressive, forcing eventual winner Lucas Glover into a playoff. While he did end up losing the playoff, his round of 6 under 64 was an impressive one.

Needless to say, he will be carrying forward his momentum into the BMW Championship that will be held this weekend. Cantlay has won the Championship back to back for the last two years now, first at the Caves Valley and then at the Wilmington Country Club.

This week he will be looking to make that a three-peat at the Olympia Fields' North Course, Chicago as he goes after his third BMW title in a row and a winner's share of $3,600,000. According to FanDuel Sportsbook, Patrick Cantlay has odds of 10-1, and sits as the fourth favorite to lift the title.

Jon Rahm, Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler are the top three favorites to win the BMW Championship this year. Lucas Glover will be fighting for a three-peat of his own, having won the 2023 Wyndham Championship and then the St. Jude Championship consecutively.
