The top 50 players in the FedEx Cup standings remains standing for the second event as the BMW Championship takes place at Bellerive Country Club in Missouri, but who wins?

Scottie Scheffler is back to defend his title after a two-stroke victory over Robert MacIntyre in 2025 and he is red-hot after an eight-shot win in last week's FedEx St Jude Championship.

The Bellerive Country Club has hosted some of golf’s most prestigious events, including the 1965 U.S. Open, the 1992 PGA Championships, the 2004 U.S. Senior Open, the 2008 BMW Championship, and the 2018 PGA Championship.

These are our four selections that could win the title this weekend.

Xander Schauffele

Xander Schauffele has been in solid form on the PGA Tour lately, placing T7 at the PGA Championship, T29 at the Memorial Tournament, T11 at the U.S. Open, T51 at the Travelers Championship, MC at the Genesis Scottish Open, T18 at the Open Championship, 2nd at the Rocket Classic and T7 at the FedEx St. Jude Championship last weekend.

Other prominent performances achieved by Schauffele this year include a T19 at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, a T7 at the Genesis Invitational, a T24 at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, 3rd at the Players Championship, a T4 at the Valspar Championship, a T9 at the Masters and a T12 at the RBC Heritage.

The two-time Major champion has compiled a solid record at the BMW Championship, finishing T20 in 2017, T3 in 2018, T19 in 2019, T25 in 2020, T49 in 2021, T3 in 2022, T8 in 2023, T5 in 2024 and T28 in 2025.

Schauffele has threatened to produce a winning result lately and should enter calculations at the Bellerive Country Club this weekend.

Hideki Matsuyama

Hideki Matsuyama has been in solid form since the end of May, placing T13 at the Charles Schwab Challenge, T43 at the Memorial Tournament, T65 at the U.S. Open, T14 at the Travelers Championship, T14 at the Open Championship, T3 at the 3M Open, T5 at the Rocket Classic, T7 at the Wyndham Championship and T7 at the FedEx St. Jude Championship last weekend.

Other notable results achieved by Matsuyama this season include a T13 at the Sony Open in Hawaii, a T11 at the Farmers Insurance Open, 2nd at the WM Phoenix Open, a T8 at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, a T21 at the Valero Texas Open and a T12 at the Masters.

The ten-time PGA Tour winner has had ten appearances at the BMW Championship, finishing T24 in 2016, T47 in 2017, 15th in 2018, 3rd in 2019, T3 in 2020, T46 in 2021, T35 in 2022, WD in 2023, WD in 2024 and T26 in 2025.

Matsuyama has been ultra-consistent lately and can make the frame in Missouri this weekend.

Si Woo Kim

Si Woo Kim has been in excellent form on the PGA Tour lately, placing 2nd at the CJ CUP Byron Nelson, T10 at the Memorial Tournament, MC at the U.S. Open, T44 at the Travelers Championship, T9 at the Genesis Scottish Open, T6 at the Open Championship, T42 at the Rocket Classic and 2nd at the FedEx St. Jude Championship last weekend.

The three-time PGA Tour winner has contested the BMW Championship on nine occasions, finishing T20 in 2016, T58 in 2017, T41 in 2018, T28 in 2019, T29 in 2021, 67th in 2022, T31 in 2023, T5 in 2024 and T19 in 2025.

Kim has performed superbly all year and can clinch the title in St. Louis come Sunday.

Wyndham Clark

Wyndham Clark has been on top of his game on the PGA Tour during the past three months, recording a victory at the CJ Cup Byron Nelson, 3rd at the Memorial Tournament, a T11 at the RBC Canadian Open, a victory at the U.S. Open, a T5 at the Travelers Championship, and a T13 at the Genesis Scottish Open before missing the cut at the Open Championship and at the Rocket Classic, but he has returned to form with a T5 at the FedEx St. Jude Championship last weekend.

Additional highlights achieved by Clark this season include placing T13 at the American Express, T21 at the Masters, T16 at the RBC Heritage and T20 at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans.

The two-time U.S. Open champion has featured four times at the BMW Championship, finishing T31 in 2019, 64th in 2022, T15 in 2023 and T13 in 2024.

Clark has been back to his best lately and can lift the trophy at the Bellerive Country Club come Sunday.
