BMW Championship heads to Bellerive Country Club for PGA Tour Playoffs

The PGA Tour heads to Bellerive Country Club in St. Louis, Missouri, for the BMW Championship, the second leg of the FedExCup Playoffs. Taking place from August 20 to August 23, 2026, the tournament features a 50-player field consisting of the top performers in the FedExCup standings.

The event serves as a critical juncture in the playoffs, as only the top 30 players from this field will advance to the season-ending TOUR Championship at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta. The tournament offers a $20,000,000 total purse, with the winner set to receive $3,600,000.

Several players are currently positioned near the cutoff for the TOUR Championship, including Kurt Kitayama, Bud Cauley, Rickie Fowler, Gary Woodland, and J. T. Poston. Additionally, qualifying for the top 50 in this event secures automatic entry into all eight signature events for the 2026 season.
