The 3rd leg of the US PGA Tour's FedEx Playoff season will be the BMW Championship, which is being played in Chicago at Cog Hill.
Below is the list of the top 15 players in the CLi rankings for the BMW Championship.
| # | Player | CLi | |
| 1 | Tiger Woods | 1.35 | |
| 2 | Steve Stricker | 7.90 | |
| 3 | Sergio Garcia | 11.65 | |
| 4 | Jim Furyk | 16.05 | |
| 5 | Fredrik Jacobson | 16.55 | |
| 6 | Ernie Els | 17.60 | |
| 7 | Ian Poulter | 17.90 | |
| 8 | Heath Slocum | 19.50 | |
| 9 | Scott Verplank | 19.85 | |
| 10 | Stephen Ames | 22.80 | |
| 11 | Hunter Mahan | 23.15 | |
| 12 | Angel Cabrera | 23.45 | |
| 13 | Bill Haas | 23.70 | |
| 14 | Steve Marino | 23.80 | |
| 15 | Brandt Snedeker | 24.00 |
I am going to go with the top 4 in the CLi rankings: Woods, Stricker, Garcia, and Furyk. Then I am going to skip down to Poulter for my 5th pick. He is a dark horse for this tournament, as most people would not think about picking him. Let's see if he is able to pull in a top 10 this week.
Below are my 5 picks for the BMW Championship:

Hey John,
ReplyDeleteI like your top 4 as well, but I am picking Angel Cabrera in our picks league where you can only use a player once in a season. The other guy we considered was Snedeker. Hopefully, we made the right choice.
I also kind of like Harrington and Dustin Johnson to do well this week.
If I had to pick 5, they would be Tiger, Stricker, Furyk, Cabrera, and Harrington.

Your Snedeker pick looks good after 2 rounds as he sits t8. As well, a Harrington pick would have been good as he sits currently in 3rd.
