Fantasy Golf Sleeper Report – 2015 BMW Championship

The Sleeper Report: Fantasy Golf Sleepers, Long Shots, and Undervalued Picks for the 2015 BMW Championship

BMW Championship 2015 Fantasy Sleeper Preview

The field is trimmed down to just 70 this week for the 2015 BMW Championship at Conway Farms Golf Club located outside of Chicago, IL as the players look to make a final push towards the TOUR Championship next week.

In the past, this event has hosted the top names in the game, and as a result has a very impressive list of victors dating back to its debut in 2007 when Tiger Woods was the two-stroke victor after posting a score of 22-under-par.  He won once again in 2009 and was followed by a list of who’s-who in golf as Dustin Johnson, Justin Rose, Rory McIlroy, Zach Johnson, and 2014 FedEx Cup Champion Billy Horschel rounded off the list of winners here.

In the 2014 installment of this event, Horschel fended off a handful of big American names in Watson, Hoffman, Furyk, Fowler, and Palmer as he was able to remain consistent down the stretch and put himself in second in the standings.  He eventually went on to win the TOUR Championship and cashed the big check to finish off the season.

Coming back into the mix this week will be Sergio Garcia, who after sitting out of the last two events in the FedExCup playoffs needs to do some work in order to get into the top-30 as he currently sits in 54th place.  He will be chasing down two of the hottest golfers in the world right now in top-ranked Jason Day, who has won two of the past three events, including the PGA Championship, and the second-ranked player in the world, Jordan Spieth.

The playoffs thus far has not been too much of a surprise, as Day was able to win the Barclays, moving into first in the standings, followed by an impressive victory from Rickie Fowler at the Deutsche Bank Championship which vaulted him into contention; 1,182 points behind the leader Jason Day.  One big development to watch is the emergence of youngsters that are tearing through the sport right now as four rookies (Justin Thomas, Tony Finau, Daniel Berger, and Zac Blair) remain in the hunt, although none of them currently reside within the top-30 with Thomas being the highest at 35th.

Not many golfers have been able to make the jump from outside of the bubble to the TOUR Championship in recent years with just two players moving into the mix after looking from the outside in going into this event.  This year, Louis Oosthuizen is the man holding on for dear life to the final spot, but plenty of solid names remain close to him, including last year’s runner-up Chris Kirk and Hunter Mahan; owner of a perfect 35 playoff appearances to date.

The big guys to watch are dotting the top of the playoff leaderboard going into this week and there will surely be a few of them vying for a victory, but there is also the opportunity for a few to make their mark among the best the PGA has to offer with a big showing here.  That said, let’s take a look at a few of the top sleeper selections heading into the BMW Championship.
