Wyndham Clark Closes With Three Straight Birdies to Win the BMW Championship

Mon, 24 Aug 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Wyndham Clark did not make the BMW Championship easy on himself. He arrived at Bellerive Country Club on Sunday with a five-shot cushion built over the previous two days, three-putted the first hole for a bogey before most of the leaderboard had finished breakfast, and spent the better part of the afternoon watching that cushion shrink one dropped shot at a time. By the turn he had given back three strokes and was clinging to a two-shot lead over Patrick Cantlay and Rory McIlroy. Then, with the tournament and his third win of the season on the line, he birdied the sixteenth, the seventeenth and the eighteenth in succession to close it out at 17-under 263, three clear of Cantlay, with McIlroy a shot further back in third.

Gary Woodland Shares the Lead at a BMW Championship He Almost Didn't Play

Fri, 21 Aug 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Gary Woodland’s tee shot on Thursday drew a bigger cheer than most opening shots at Bellerive Country Club get, and by the time he signed for a six-under 64 five hours later, the reason was obvious to anyone who has followed his last three years. Woodland shares the first-round lead of the BMW Championship with Wyndham Clark, Rory McIlroy and J.J. Spaun, all at six under, with Ludvig Åberg two shots back after closing his round with three birdies in his last four holes. Whatever happens across the remaining three rounds, Thursday alone was worth pausing on.

The BMW Championship Returns to Bellerive With the Season on the Line

Wed, 19 Aug 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Bellerive Country Club has not hosted a professional event since the 2018 PGA Championship, and it had not hosted a FedExCup Playoffs event at all until this week. The Robert Trent Jones design in St Louis gets its turn from Thursday, and the timing could hardly be sharper: this is the week the field for the Tour Championship gets cut in half, and the man defending the title is coming off the most one-sided win of his career.

Scottie Scheffler Runs Away With the FedEx St. Jude Championship

There is a version of dominance that keeps a tournament interesting until the back nine on Sunday, and there is the version Scottie Scheffler produced at TPC Southwind, which settled the outcome of the FedEx St. Jude Championship somewhere around Friday lunchtime. He closed with a four-under 66 to finish at 17 under par, eight clear of the field, and claimed the 21st Tour title of a career that is now being discussed in the same sentence as Tiger Woods and Jack Nicklaus rather than merely alongside them.

Jordan Spieth Shares the FedEx St. Jude Lead With a Bogey-Free 65

Fri, 14 Aug 2026 00:00:00 +0000

TPC Southwind opened the FedExCup Playoffs on Thursday the way it usually does, with low scores from players who needed them and a leaderboard that will look completely different by Sunday. What nobody quite expected was Jordan Spieth’s name sitting at the top of it. He shared the clubhouse lead after the first round of the FedEx St. Jude Championship with a bogey-free 65, five under par, level with Michael Thorbjornsen, and for a player whose season has offered him almost nothing until this week, it was the kind of round that changes the tone of a whole summer.

Justin Rose Defends a Streak Nobody Has Broken as the FedExCup Playoffs Open

The regular season ended in Greensboro on Sunday, and by Monday morning the FedExCup standings were final enough that nobody outside the top 70 has anything left to play for this year. That is the strange rhythm of the PGA Tour’s playoff structure: a season’s worth of results gets condensed into a single number, the field gets cut roughly in half twice over three weeks, and the whole thing starts again Thursday at TPC Southwind in Memphis, where 69 players will tee it up in the FedEx St. Jude Championship with a spot in the following week’s BMW Championship the minimum acceptable outcome.
