The 2023 DP World Tour BMW PGA Championship is coming up soon for bettors to take a look at a loaded field. Many betting opportunities are available, as well as exciting players to put on a show.

The BMW PGA Championship will be played once again at the historic Wentworth Club, Virginia Water, in Surrey, England. The course measures to be 7,267 yards and is a Par 72, making this somewhat lengthy.

Shane Lowry is the defending champion of this event and will be taking on Rory McIlroy and Jon Rahm once again. This event was shortened to three rounds last time around due to the passing of Queen Elizabeth II.

These golfers stand out as the top candidates to either clinch a win or secure a spot in the top 10 at the 2023 BMW PGA Championship. Keep in mind that anything can happen, especially with a loaded field like this one.  

Rory McIlroy +700

McIlroy is the best golfer on the DP World Tour rankings and is coming off of a T16 finish at the Irish Open. He arguably had a shot to win, but finished the final round at +2. He was also runner-up here last year and poses a threat once again to challenge the victory.

Jon Rahm +750

Rahm ranks as the third best golfer in the PGA Tour rankings. He is coming off of a T18 performance at the Tour Championship, which is not a good sign here if he comes out slow. 

Matthew Fitzpatrick +1600

Fitzpatrick just came off of a T3 finish at the Omega European Masters. He is also currently ranked at 24^th when looking at the PGA Tour odds. His game translates just fine here and his odds are appealing.

Among the top 10 golfers with the best chances of winning the 2023 BMW PGA Championship, MyBookie's moneyline odds unequivocally position Viktor Hovland as the leading contender. However, the other nine potentially in contention are:

Hovland is coming off of a dominating fashion at the Tour Championship, where he won with a -27. In addition to the points he earned, he was able to win by five strokes.

He is currently ranked as the fourth best golfer in the DP World Rankings and has a chance to move up with a win. This is the perfect time to extend good dominance in a tough field.
