2026 BMW PGA Championship expert picks and rankings
1. Rory McIlroy: McIlroy didn't play too well at Doonbeg in the Irish Open last week, but he's still the No. 2 player in the world -- even if he's in and out of playing his best.
2. Shane Lowry: Lowry won here in a shortened event in 2022, and he's coming off performance the most comprehensive performance of his career last week.
3. Joaquin Niemann: Niemann looked very good in the Irish Open, and he's probably hungry to get a post-LIV win on the board to lock up a spot in the top 50 in the Official World Golf Ranking.
4. Jon Rahm: Rahm loves this golf course, and the reality has to be setting in that he's lost out on a lot of LIV money and can start earning it back on the course this week.
5. Viktor Hovland: Hovland couldn't get it done at the Tour Championship, but he does seem to shine this time of year.

6. Tommy Fleetwood: Fleetwood has been brilliant for much of this year, though it hasn't led to a trophy.
7. Ludvig Aberg: Ludvig is hard to pick because he seems to back down on Sundays, and his driver can be a big liability at times, but he has the game to win this.
8. Tyrrell Hatton: Hatton loves this golf course and routinely plays well in this tournament, which should offer a great opportunity to show off once again.
9. Patrick Reed: Reed was second at Doonbeg last week, and he gets another chance to showcase his game in a very strong field.
10. Ryan Gerard: Gerard may have something to prove here leading into the Presidents Cup, and his game travels everywhere.
