The second FedEx Cup Playoff event takes place with the BMW Championship at Castle Pines Golf Club in Colorado.
That means that the 70 who took place in last week’s FedEx St. Jude Championship has now been whittled down to a field of just 50 for the no-cut event.
Following this week’s tournament, the top 30 in the FedEx Cup standings will progress to the Tour Championship at East Lake and the chance to win the top prize of $25m.
Scottie Scheffler and Xander Schauffele still lead the way in the standings, and they’re playing alongside each other in the opening two rounds, with the pair beginning at 11.00am EDT (4.00pm BST) in the first round and 1.20pm EDT (6.20pm BST) in the second round.
Hideki Matsuyama is now firmly in the running for Playoff glory after his win at the FedEx St. Jude Championship. He’s third in the standings and is paired with two-time Major winner Collin Morikawa. They have a tee time of 1.20pm EDT (6.20pm BST) on Thursday and 11.10am EDT (4.10pm BST) on Friday.

The winner of the 2023 BMW Championship (and ultimately the FedEx Cup) was Viktor Hovland, and he did his chances of a repeat at next week’s tournament at East Lake no harm with T2 at the FedEx St. Jude Championship. He’s grouped with Byeong Hun An, and they start at 10.40am EDT (3.40pm BST) on Thursday and 1.00pm EDT (6.00pm BST) on Friday.
Rory McIlroy didn’t have as productive a time at TPC Southwind, finishing T68, but he’s still well-placed in the FedEx Cup standings, in fifth. He’s grouped with Wyndham Clark, with the duo beginning at 1.10pm EDT (6.10pm BST) in the first round and 11.00am EDT (4.00pm BST) in the second round.
Below are the tee times and pairings for the BMW Championship.
