Predicted for 22. August 2026
·
Based on: Statistical Pattern
McIlroy started as one of five co-leaders after Round 1 (−6 each: Woodland, Spaun, Gotterup, Clark). World #1 Scottie Scheffler began at +2 and is behind. DraftKings Tour Championship odds (Aug 12) show McIlroy as clear #2 behind Scheffler (+920 vs +350), implying a BMW Championship win probability of ~22–26%. Scheffler remains structurally dangerous (comebacks are his trademark), but McIlroy's R1 co-leading position and historical strength at Bellerive support the call.
Data basis for this prediction
- DraftKings: Tour Championship Odds — Scheffler +350, McIlroy +920 (Stand 12.08.2026)
- Yahoo Sports: BMW Championship R1 Leaderboard — 5er-Spitzengruppe bei −6 (McIlroy, Woodland, Spaun, Gotterup, Clark) (21.08.2026)
- PGA Tour: FedExCup Standings — Scheffler führt mit großem Vorsprung (August 2026)

Verdict: Miss
Scottie Scheffler gewann das BMW Championship 2026 in Bellerive mit −15 (Gesamtscore 265). McIlroy, der nach Runde 1 mit −6 in Führung lag, gewann das Turnier nicht. Scheffler holte trotz schwachem Start (Runde 1: +2) auf und siegte – exakt das in der Prognose als Hauptrisiko genannte Szenario ('Comeback aus Rückständen ist sein Markenzeichen').

Mercedes leads the constructors' standings with 630 points over Ferrari (504) by a 126-point margin (as of Nov 8, 2026; source: grandepremio.com / skysports.com). According to grandepremio.com, the Las Vegas GP (Nov 20–22) is the earliest possible race for a mathematical title decision: a lead of ≥86 points after the race would clinch the constructors' title early. With four remaining races (Brazil, Las Vegas, Qatar, Abu Dhabi) and this cushion, even a mediocre Las Vegas result suffices. Bookmaker odds imply >85% for Mercedes' 2026 constructors' title.

Bookmaker odds imply ~38% win probability for Max Verstappen (moneyline +160). He won the São Paulo GP today and holds the Las Vegas track record from 2025, where he dominated by ~20 seconds. Since Kimi Antonelli (Mercedes) already secured the 2026 World Championship in Mexico, the remaining battle is for 2nd in the standings between Verstappen, Russell, Hamilton and Leclerc (within ~9 points). Verstappen is highly motivated to collect wins. Competition: George Russell +400, Kimi Antonelli +700, Lewis Hamilton +2800. The night race on the Las Vegas Strip historically favors Red Bull and Verstappen's driving style.
