The Course

The BMW Championship will be hosted at Conway Farms Golf Club, located in Lake Forest, Illinois, which measures almost 7,200 yards in length and plays to a par-71. Opened in 1991 and designed by Tom Fazio, Conway Farms is considered a tribute to Scottish links-style golf.

Given the presence of the top-70 golfers in the world at the BMW Championship, with no 36-hole cut, it will inevitably take somewhere between 15- and 20-under to win at this track, depending on weather conditions — particularly, the intensity of the wind or lack thereof. As the FedExCup Playoffs steamroll toward the Tour Championship by Coca-Cola, there is no time like the present to step on the proverbial gas pedal.

Now, let’s get to my picks:

My 7 Underrated Players

Pat Perez ($7,200)

• FedExCup Ranking — 43rd
• All-Around Ranking — 497 (23rd)
• Ball Striking — 123 (52nd)
• Strokes Gained: Putting — 0.315 (39th)

Perez’s statistics, specifically, his All-Around Ranking, demonstrate that throughout the current season he has been consistently solid in all aspects of his game. His finish (T29) at the Deutsche Bank Championship was respectable and squarely set Perez up to compete for a spot in the Tour Championship.

Such a possibility is noteworthy, given that Perez has never qualified for that particular event. As a former winner on the PGA Tour, Perez has the game to put himself in position to win. Without the customary 36-hole cut and with 11 top-25 finishes this year, Perez is a worthwhile investment as he has everything to gain and little, if anything, to lose in Illinois.

Jimmy Walker ($7,400)

• FedExCup Ranking — 11th
• All-Around Ranking — 541 (34th)
• Strokes Gained: Putting — 0.781 (1st)
• Par 5 Birdie or Better Leaders — 50 percent (T-11th)

When the BMW Championship was last played at Conway Farms, Walker finished T11. After having zero wins up to and including in 2013, Walker has since peeled off five wins in the last two PGA Tour seasons.

Admittedly, Walker missed the cut at the Deutsche Bank Championship and has not overall finished this year, at this point, as strongly as he started it. Walker remains, however, the best putter on the PGA Tour this season. There is little doubt Walker can score, compete and win, despite his recent play; $7,400 is a bargain and while redundant, he has nothing to lose, everything to gain by getting after it and into the top-5 of the FedExCup Rankings.

Kevin Chappell ($7,500)

• FedExCup Ranking — 57th
• All-Around Ranking — 637 (T57th)
• Ball Striking — 137 (T62nd)
• Par 5 Birdie or Better Leaders — 43.51 percent (68th)

Chappell’s statistics this season are just above average, but he is, however, a capable well-rounded player trending up yet again in 2014-2015. Chappell finished T12 last week at the Deutsche Bank Championship, played at the BMW Championship in 2013, and has already compiled 10 top-25 finishes this year. He is threatening to have the best year overall (earnings-wise) of his career.

A career-altering week with a win, which is absolutely within the realm of possibility, would inevitably get Chappell to the Tour Championship. Chappell was the Jack Nicklaus Award winner as collegiate Player of the Year and Arnold Palmer Award winner as the D-I M-Golf champion in 2008. Chappell competing week-in and week-out and ultimately winning seems inevitable.

J.B. Holmes ($7,500) 

• FedExCup Ranking — 19th
• All-Around Ranking — 569 (38th)
• Strokes Gained: Tee-to-Green — 0.908 (17th)
• Par 5 Birdie or Better Leaders — 47.27 percent (27th)

With two wins in his past two seasons on the PGA Tour, Holmes has arguably made the comeback that, at one point, seemed improbable. Since beating Jordan Spieth (as well as Johnson Wagner) at the Shell Houston Open in May, however, Holmes has failed to record a PGA Tour stroke play top-10. In short, Holmes is due for a strong finish and may need one to get to Atlanta.

Holmes’ statistics and FedExCup Ranking this season demonstrate solid, if not arguably spectacular, play in competition. If Holmes finds his touch and rhythm on the greens at Conway Farms, his length (310.5 yards/5th) in this bomb and gouge era is a considerable advantage. The upside for Holmes outweighs his minimal cost and makes him a viable mid-range addition this week.

Webb Simpson ($7,600) 

• FedExCup Ranking — 42nd
• All-Around Ranking — 462 (17th)
• Strokes Gained: Tee-to-Green — 1.423 (5th)
• Par 5 Birdie or Better Leaders — 51.82 percent (4th)

Statistically speaking, Simpson appears worthy of consideration every week that he is competing this season on the PGA Tour. Apart from struggling in Strokes Gained: Putting in 2014-2015, Simpson has put up consistent and impressive numbers. He has also made 18 of 21 cuts, recorded 8 top-25 finishes, and accumulated over $2 million in earnings.

As a former major winner (2012 U.S. Open), and Ryder Cup and Presidents Cup member, Simpson’s professional pedigree remains undeniable. As the anchoring ban looms, Simpson is inevitably going to master the short stick, sooner rather than later. When he finds his putting groove this week, Simpson will again be ready to challenge for another win.

Keegan Bradley ($7,800)

• FedExCup Ranking — 63rd
• All-Around Ranking — 583 (40th)
• Strokes Gained: Tee-to-Green — 1.017 (15th)
• Par 5 Birdie or Better Leaders — 50 percent (T11th)

Despite recent history, Bradley’s talent, ability to score, and clutch play in his three PGA Tour wins has been evident. At 63rd in the FedExCup Rankings, Bradley has no choice but to go low this week in an effort to earn his spot at the Tour Championship. With everything to gain, Bradley is a steal this week at $7,800.

Hunter Mahan ($8,000)

• FedExCup Ranking — 52nd
• All-Around Ranking — 761 (95th)
• Ball Striking — 185 (T-93rd)
• Strokes Gained: Putting — .340 (33rd)

Since its introduction, Mahan has been the only player to compete in every FedExCup playoff event. That streak alone, and his play last week at the Deutsche Bank Championship are cause to put Mahan in this week’s lineup, despite his $8,000 price tag.

Mahan’s 2014-2015 season, when put under the microscope, suggests gambling on him this week. Highlighted by 7 top-25 finishes, Mahan has made 19 out of 23 cuts, $1.5 million in earnings, and ranks in the top 20 percent of all PGA Tour players in Strokes Gained: Putting this season. Keep in mind, Mahan finished T4 at Conway Farms in 2013 at this event.
