BMW Championship: Rory McIlroy early favorite despite missing cut at St. Jude
Boy, do sportsbooks love Rory McIlroy.
The Irishman might've missed the cut at last week's St. Jude Championship at TPC Southwind, but he continues to be a popular pick in the FedEx Cup playoffs and is the early favorite to win this week's BMW Championship.
As of Monday morning, McIlroy was the favorite to win at 11-1 odds according to DraftKings. He improved to 10-1 odds following the mid-morning announcement that Cameron Smith had withdrawn from the event because of a hip injury.
The 33-year-old pro dropped from sixth to ninth in the FedEx Cup standings after missing the cut at last weekend's event. The standings as a whole look quite a bit different on Monday than they previously did thanks to Will Zalatoris getting the win in crazy fashion at TPC Southwind over the weekend. Zalatoris is currently listed at 14-1 odds at DraftKings for the BMW Championship.
