The 2024 BMW Championship is the second leg of the FedEx Cup Playoffs and will be taking place at Castle Pines Golf Club in Castle Rock, Colo. Only the top 50 players after a full season and one playoff event have a tee time in Thursday’s opening round, where they will compete for a $20 million purse and a $4 million winner’s prize. The event will also determine who will walk away with the $25 million FedEx Cup bonus that will be awarded at the Tour Championship next week. The top 3 players in the FedEx Cup standings – Scottie Scheffler, Xander Schauffele, and Hideki Matsuyama – will be looking to maintain their positions, but there is always a chance for someone else to make a splash with a big win.
