BMW Championship: The 2nd Round of FedExCup Playoffs Tees Off This Morning

From 50 to 30! Golf’s “Last Man Standing” playoff reaches its second cut-line this weekend at the BMW Championship. A mere 50 players will tee off today at Olympia Fields Country Club. Only 30 will be playing at the Tour Championship next weekend at East Lake. For 20 golfers, this weekend will be their last of the year. The final 30 in FedExCup Playoff points will be seeded with starting strokes next weekend, so the BMW Championship represents the last big points grab. Jon Rahm (1st), Scottie Scheffler (2nd) and Rory McIlroy (3rd) are in charge, but Lucas Glover (4th) has won two straight events. The winner of the BMW Championship gets $3.6 million and a 2,000-point boost. Let’s play some more knockout golf.
