Johnson and Spieth are the two highest-ranked players in the field and they&#8217;re both playing some terrific golf of late. Johnson has top-20s in each of his last five starts, including a stunning victory at the Northern Trust golf event last month.<\/p>\n<p>The world no. 1 arrives at this tournament as the defending champion, winning last year&#8217;s BMW Championship by three strokes. Johnson&#8217;s recent form pales, however, in comparison to the stretch Spieth is enjoying right now. The three-time major champion has nabbed two victories and a couple of runner-up finishes in his last six PGA Tour events. Spieth is pegged at <strong>+600\u00a0<\/strong>to win the BMW Championship this week.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>High-Value Sleepers \u2013 Phil Mickelson (<a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/sportsbook\/golf\/bmw-championship\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">+6,500<\/a>) and Daniel Berger (<a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/sportsbook\/golf\/bmw-championship\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">+5,500<\/a>)<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Looking for a worthy sleeper this week? How about Phil Mickelson? Lefty turned back the hands of time in his last start at the Dell Technologies Championship, finishing in a tie for sixth. That was Mickelson&#8217;s best showing since his T5 at the WGC Match Play last March. That performance was enough for Lefty to nab an at-large selection for the 2017 Presidents Cup. He will look to repay captain Steve Stricker&#8217;s faith with a solid outing at Conway Farms this week.<\/p>\n<p>Another golfer who\u2019s primed for a huge performance this week is Daniel Berger. The last time the BMW Championship was held in Conway Farms (2015), Berger finished solo second. He shot a 16-under-par total of 268 to finish six strokes adrift of champion Jason Day. Berger has top-5s in three of his last nine Tour starts, including a victory at the FedEx St. Jude Classic.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Long Shot \u2013 Grayson Murray (<a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/sportsbook\/golf\/bmw-championship\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">+17,500<\/a>)<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>One long shot who can definitely spring a surprise\u00a0this week\u00a0is Grayson Murray. Yes, Murray has missed the cut in three of his last six PGA Tour starts but he definitely has the power to tame Conway Farms.\u00a0The par-71 course is 7,208 yards long, which is perfect for a bomber like Murray. The 23-year-old is 12th in the PGA Tour in driving distance, averaging 308.1 yards per drive this season. Murray is fresh off a T25 at last week&#8217;s Dell Technologies Championship.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Writer&#8217;s Prediction<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Spieth (<a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/sportsbook\/golf\/bmw-championship\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>+600<\/strong><\/a>)\u00a0stakes his claim for the 2017 FedEx Cup title with a three-stroke win at the BMW Championship.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/record.tbaffiliate.com\/_y8k7RB3Ll4xutv7iXV6HvmNd7ZgqdRLk\/6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" class=\"broken_link\">Create a betting account now<\/a> and cash in on all the exciting golf action.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/record.tbaffiliate.com\/_y8k7RB3Ll4xutv7iXV6HvmNd7ZgqdRLk\/18\"><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-119727\" src=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/GOLF-BANNERS-620x110.gif\" alt=\"golf-banners-620x110\" width=\"620\" height=\"110\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n<p class=\"pvc_stats all \" data-element-id=\"148792\" style=\"\"><i class=\"pvc-stats-icon medium\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" data-prefix=\"far\" data-icon=\"chart-bar\" role=\"img\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\" class=\"svg-inline--fa fa-chart-bar fa-w-16 fa-2x\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M396.8 352h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V108.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v230.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm-192 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V140.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v198.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm96 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V204.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v134.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zM496 400H48V80c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16H16C7.16 64 0 71.16 0 80v336c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h464c8.84 0 16-7.16 16-16v-16c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16zm-387.2-48h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8v-70.4c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v70.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8z\" class=\"\"><\/path><\/svg><\/i> &nbsp;3,951&nbsp;total views, &nbsp;1&nbsp;views today<\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The world\u2019s top golfers will head to Illinois this week for the 2017 staging of the BMW Championship.
