STAMFORD, Conn. – August 21, 2024 – The PGA TOUR FedExCup Playoffs continue with the BMW Championship at Castle Pines Golf Club in Colorado, and the AIG Women’s Open will be held at the historic Old Course at St Andrews in Scotland, headlining NBC Sports’ live golf coverage this week across NBC, USA Network, GOLF Channel and Peacock.
PGA TOUR: BMW CHAMPIONSHIP
The FedExCup Playoff field has been narrowed to the top 50 players at this week’s BMW Championship, which will be held at Castle Pines Golf Club in Castle Rock, Colo., the site of The International from 1986 to 2004. Following this week’s event, the top 30 players in the FedExCup Playoff standings will advance to the TOUR Championship at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta, Ga.
Hideki Matsuyama won last week’s FedEx St. Jude Championship in Memphis, two shots clear of Xander Schauffele and Viktor Hovland and three shots ahead of FedExCup points leader Scottie Scheffler. Nick Dunlap finished tied for fifth, vaulting him into the top 50 to secure a spot in this week’s field, but he’ll need a finish of 11th or better this week at Castle Pines to qualify for East Lake. Tommy Fleetwood (31st), Chris Kirk (32nd) and Corey Conners (33rd) are currently just outside the TOUR Championship field.
Live coverage is presented tomorrow and Friday from 2-6 p.m. ET on GOLF Channel and Peacock, with weekend coverage on NBC, GOLF Channel, and Peacock.
