As is stands, Justin Rose will most likely fail to defend the title he won in 2018. According to our FedEx Cup 2019 winner predictions, Brooks Koepka will likely claim the 2019 title. However, as Patrick Reed has proven, winning any of the FedEx Cup Playoff tournaments can dramatically change players rankings. Consequently, with the BMW Championship and the Tour Championship yet to be played, the 2019 FedEx Cup competition is still wide open. Founded in 2007, the FedEx Cup is a PGA Tour championship trophy. The FedEx Cup Playoffs events carry the most points with winners earning 2,000 points. These events include the Northern Trust, BMW Championship and Tour Championship which will run from 8-25 August 2019. According to our FedEx Cup 2019 winner predictions, the following golfers have the best chances of winning. Here’s how their 888sport odds compare with each other:

Our FedEx Cup 2019 winner predictions favor a win for Brooks Koepka

Despite Patrick Reed’s Northern Trust win earlier in August, Brooks Koepka is still a favorite to win the 2019 FedEx Cup. Brooks Koepka’s odds of achieving this are promising on the online sportsbooks in the USA at +250. So far, Koepka has had a year to be proud of with Top 4 finishes in all the Major Championships. https://www.instagram.com/p/ByndDsshkug/ Fortunately, the golfer still tops the 2019 FedEx Cup Standings with 2,098 points. Additionally, according to our FedEx Cup 2019 winner predictions, he’ll likely remain at the top of the Standings. Next stop for the 888sport front runner is the BMW Championship on August 15. Then the Tour Championship in August 25, the last round of the 2019 FedEx Cup Playoffs.

Rory McIlroy will need to capitalize on BMW Championship

According to the online sportsbook news in the USA, McIlroy stands the 2nd best chance of claiming the 2019 FedEx Cup. Currently, the Northern Irish golfer’s odds of claiming a FedEx Cup win are good at +450 at 888sport. Before the Northern Trust tournament, McIlroy was 2nd in the 2019 FedEx Cup Standings.

However, he was one of the players who's rankings dropped in the Standings following Patrick Reed’s Northern Trust win. Consequently, he's now 3rd widening the gap between him and Koepka. Fortunately, Rory McIlroy has the opportunity to make amends and climb to the top of the Standings soon. McIlroy currently stands the best chance to win the upcoming BMW Championship and a win here will do wonders.

Patrick Reed’s Northern Trust win could pay off big in the final FedEx Cup standings

Winning the 2019 Northern Trust was a significant achievement for Patrick Reed (+600) for many reasons. First, he ended his 16 month PGA Tour title drought with his last win at the 2018 Masters Tournament. Additionally, his Northern Trust win made him climb from 50th to an impressive 2nd place in the FedEx Cup Standings.

Now, only 206 points separate him and current FedEx Cup leader Brooks Koepka in the Standings. Consequently, Patrick Reed could secure his first FedEx Cup win if he can capitalize on his next tournaments. According to our FedEx Cup 2019 winner predictions, top 4 finishes in the upcoming FedEx Cup Playoffs events will be crucial.

Jon Rahm among top 4 contenders predicted to win the 2019 FedEx Cup

World No.1 Jon Rahm stands the 4th best chance of winning the 2019 FedEx Cup with 888sport odds at +900. Similarly to Patrick Reed, John Rahm’s Northern Trust performance boosted his rankings in the 2019 FedEx Cup Standings. He achieved a T3 result at Northern Trust tournament and has risen to 5th in the Standings from 10th place.

Additionally, the young Spaniard recorded his best Major Championships results this year with Top 11 finishes in 3 of the tournaments. It’s no doubt that Rahm will soon be a major threat in the PGA Tour. However, our FedEx Cup 2019 winner predictions don’t foresee Rham topping the 2019 FedEx Cup Standings. Nevertheless, with 2 FedEx Cup events left, he could potentially record a respectable 4th place ranking in the FedEx Cup Standings.
