Things are heating up on the PGA Tour, as the BMW Championship marks the second event of the end of season FedEx Cup Playoffs.
It’s a brand-new venue for the lucrative event, as the South Course at Wilmington hosts the BMW for the first time. The course has undergone some pretty significant changes before the tour’s arrival, with eight holes featuring extended tee boxes. That’s as well as new bunkers being added around the layout.
It’s an important week for the 70 players who have made it through the FedEx St.Jude Championship, with the lure of the big-money Tour Championship awaiting the top-25 after this week.
Last year, it was Patrick Cantlay who lifted the trophy on his way to winning the FedEx Cup, after a playoff win over Bryson DeChambeau.
After his maiden PGA Tour win at the weekend, it’s Will Zalatoris who leads the way in the overall standings now. Could that be the win that opens the floodgates for the new world No. 9?
This year, the player who tops the end of season standings will pocket a cool $18m. A win this week would go a very long way to helping one man secure that cheque.
Let’s take a look at all the details you need to know ahead of the BMW Championship.
