The BMW Championship (total prize money of $20 million) held at the Olympia Fields Country Club (par 70, 7,366 yards) in Olympia Fields, Illinois, USA, is a competition in which only the top 50 players in the FedEx Cup points rankings participate in the 2022-2023 season.
At the end of the tournament, only the top 30 players will be selected and the Tour Championship, the last game of the season, will be followed.
If you win the right to participate in the Tour Championship given to the top 30 players, you will have an opportunity to participate in the “money feast,” which received $500,000 (about 670 million won) last year, even if you finish in last place.
Rory McIlroy (Northern Ireland), last year’s Tour Championship winner, accounted for 18 million dollars in Korean money, more than 24 billion won.
In addition, if they advance to the Tour Championship, they will be able to secure qualifications for major tournaments such as the Masters, the U.S. Open, and the Open next year.
The BMW Championship, the second round, will also give $66,000 in prize money to the bottom 50th place without being eliminated from the cut. The prize money is $3.6 million.
Last year, there were four players who entered the top 30 from outside the top 30 through the BMW Championship, the second game, including Lee Kyung-hoon, Scott Stallings, Aaron Wise (USA), and Adam Scott (Australia).
The BMW Championship, the second round, is a stage where players in the top 30 compete for the 30th place, and the top players also try to advance to the Tour Championship with a slightly higher ranking.
This is because the Tour Championship starts with a bonus stroke according to the FedEx Cup ranking until the BMW Championship.
For example, the first place in the FedEx Cup starts the tour championship at 10-under, the second place starts at 8-under, and the third place starts at 7-under.
Last season, Scotty Schaeffler (USA) started the Tour Championship in first place until the BMW Championship, but he finished second with Lim Sung-jae, and McIlroy, who started in seventh place, achieved a come-from-behind victory.
Jon Lam (Spain) is leading the way until the FedEx St. Jude Championship, the first round of this year’s playoffs, and Schaeffler is second. 토토사이트
Lucas Glover (USA), who won the first round of the playoffs with the Wyndham Championship, the final game of the regular season, is fourth after McIlroy.
Patrick Cantlay of the U.S., ranked fifth in the FedEx Cup, is trying to win three consecutive BMW Championships, while Glover is aiming to win three consecutive tournaments.
As a Korean player, Kim Si-woo came to the BMW Championship with 17th place and Kim Joo-hyung 18th place, while Lim Sung-jae (28th) and Ahn Byung-hoon (38th) will challenge to enter the top 30 through this tournament.
The top candidates for the tournament selected by the PGA Tour are McIlroy, Cantlay, and Schaeffler, ranked second. Im Sung-jae was ranked 12th as the favorite to win.
