The FedExCup Playoffs roll into St. Louis this week for the BMW Championship, where only 50 players remain and the pressure is climbing. With just the top 30 advancing to the TOUR Championship, every shot at Bellerive Country Club could make or break a season. Scottie Scheffler leads the standings after winning in Memphis, with Matt Fitzpatrick, Cameron Young and Collin Morikawa among the stars chasing him.

Bellerive brings length, water and plenty of strategically placed trouble, putting a premium on driving, sharp approach play and avoiding mistakes. With another no-cut format guaranteeing four rounds, these are the top DFS fantasy golf picks for the 2026 BMW Championship.
This article reveals my favorite target at each price level on DraftKings. DraftKings does not sponsor this content.
Sam Burns ($10,400)
Burns is absolutely cooking right now. He’s fresh off a T3 at the FedEx St. Jude Championship and has been knocking on the door all summer. Now he gets Bellerive, where the big greens should let his sharp irons and red-hot putter go to work. Burns hasn’t won since 2023, but who cares in DFS? With his current form and birdie-making upside, he’s an easy click again this week.
Hideki Matsuyama ($9,000)
Matsuyama is on a ridiculous heater, so keep riding it. He’s ripped off four straight top-seven finishes — T3, T5, T7 and T7 — and somehow hasn’t slowed down. His irons are still firing, the putter is cooperating and the no-cut format gives him four rounds to rack up points. Hideki keeps knocking on the door every week, making him one of the easiest high-end DFS plays at the BMW Championship.

Patrick Cantlay ($8,500)
Cantlay loves playoff golf, and he’s heating up right on cue. He’s coming off a T12 in Memphis after a T8 at the Rocket Classic, and let’s not forget he’s already won the BMW Championship twice. His irons are dialed in, the form is trending up and he needs another big week to keep rolling. When the playoffs arrive, Cantlay usually shows up. At his DFS price, I’m betting on that happening again.
Tom Kim ($8,100)
Kim is heating up at the perfect time. He finished T12 in Memphis and reminded everyone of his scoring upside by firing a 63 on Saturday. Now he gets Bellerive, where his dialed-in irons and aggressive birdie-making should play nicely. Kim is still priced below the big dogs, making him an easy way to grab serious upside without crushing your salary cap. At this price, I’m buying the heater.
Sungjae Im ($7,000)
Im is quietly on a heater, and his DFS price hasn’t caught up. He’s finished inside the top 15 in four of his last five starts, including a T5 in Memphis, while gaining strokes with both the irons and putter. Now he gets four guaranteed rounds at Bellerive to keep stacking points. At around $7K, Im brings consistency, recent form and plenty of upside without making your salary cap cry.
Alex Noren ($6,900)
Noren is officially too hot to ignore. He’s gone T18, T7 and T3 in his last three starts, with his irons doing serious damage in Memphis. Noren isn’t going to bomb Bellerive into submission, but who cares? He’s accurate, owns a terrific short game and keeps mistakes off the card. With a TOUR Championship spot within reach and a bargain DFS price, Noren is an easy value play this week.
