Scottie Scheffler will be among the favourites to win the BMW Championship having finished 22nd in last year's tournament.
 
The 2021-22 PGA Tour season has seen Scheffler establish himself as arguably the best golfer in the world. 
 
 The American star, who is the 2019 Korn Ferry Tour Player of the Year, is still sitting at the top of the Official World Golf Rankings.

Scheffler has impressively won four tournaments in the current campaign in what has proved to be his breakthrough season as a professional golfer. 
 
The New Jersey-born sportsman started the year 2022 very well as he clinched the WM Phoenix Open on the third hole of a sudden-death playoff against Patrick Cantlay in February. 
 
Three weeks later, Scheffler won his second career PGA Tour title at the Arnold Palmer Invitational - winning by one stroke over Viktor Hovland, Billy Horschel and Tyrrell Hatton.
 
The talented golfer was in top form as he won the WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play three weeks later, before clinching his maiden major when lifting the Master's Tournament in April. 
 
"Yeah, I feel like I'm kind of an under-the-radar person," Scheffler said recently as he indicated that he was happy to fly under the radar. 
 
"I don't really feel like there's much chatter going around with me. Rory [McIlroy] won [the Canadian Open], Tiger [Woods] was at the PGA. 
 
"I've been number one in the world for a while now, and it doesn't really feel like it, so I kind of like just being under the radar. I can show up and do my thing and then go home and rest."
 
Tiger Woods and Dustin Johnson are the most decorated golfers in the history of the BMW Championship having won the tournament twice each.
