The FedEx Cup playoffs continue as the best 50 players head to Olympia Fields for the BMW Championship.
Lucas Glover catapulted up to fourth in the season-long standings after his playoff victory against Patrick Cantlay at the FedEx St Jude Championship meant the 43-year-old was victorious for the second successive week.
Although 50 players are competing this week, just the top 30 will make it through to the Tour Championship at East Lake next week. Rory McIlroy is the defending FedEx Cup champion after a superb final-round display last year.
McIlroy will be looking to improve upon his third-place finish at the St Jude Championship last week as he eyes up his first win in America this year. He tees off alongside last week’s winner, Glover at 10:10am CDT.
Cantlay, who lost against Glover in last week’s playoff, is the defending champion of this event and will be paired alongside Max Homa for the first two rounds. He gets underway at 9:54am CDT on Thursday.
Elsewhere, Scottie Scheffler and Jon Rahm – World No. 1 and 3 – will play together on Thursday and Friday, while Brian Harman and Tommy Fleetwood will renew their rivalry from the Open Championship last month.
Below is the complete list of tee times and pairings for the first two rounds of the BMW Championship.
