The FedEx Cup Playoffs continue this week with the BMW Championship at Caves Valley Golf Club, featuring the top 50 players in the standings. With only the top 30 advancing to next week’s TOUR Championship, the stakes are high as players battle to keep their FedEx Cup title hopes alive and compete for the PGA TOUR’s ultimate prize.
Pre-Tournament Storylines:
Ryder Cup Update
The Ryder Cup will be held at the end of September at Bethpage State Park’s Black Course, and both the U.S. and European teams are starting to take shape. The United States has already locked in three of its six automatic qualifiers: Scottie Scheffler, J.J. Spaun, and Xander Schauffele. The remaining three automatic spots will be decided after this week’s BMW Championship, going to the players ranked fourth through sixth in the U.S. points standings. U.S. captain Keegan Bradley will announce his six captain’s picks on August 27, following the conclusion of the TOUR Championship.
On the European side, Rory McIlroy, Justin Rose, and Tommy Fleetwood have secured their places. The rest of the team will be finalized through three additional automatic qualifiers and captain Luke Donald’s selections.
What’s at Stake This Week at the BMW Championship
Only the top 30 players in the FedExCup standings will advance to the TOUR Championship after this week. Those who make it will earn a two-year PGA TOUR exemption through 2027, along with entry into the major championships that traditionally honor top-30 finishers.
Several big names are currently on the outside looking in, including Xander Schauffele (43rd), Matt Fitzpatrick (40th), and Rickie Fowler (48th). Ryan Fox (34th) and Brian Campbell (39th), both two-time winners on the PGA TOUR this season, also need strong performances to move into the top 30.

BMW Championship returns to Caves Valley
The BMW Championship returns to Caves Valley for the first time since 2021, when Patrick Cantlay outlasted Bryson DeChambeau in a thrilling six-hole playoff. Unfortunately for us, we had backed DeChambeau that week (looking back, it’s wild to see how far our articles have come since then).
We’ll see a slightly different version of Caves Valley this week, as the course has since undergone a renovation that increased its yardage, altered the layout, and changed the par from 72 to 70.

Caves Valley Golf Club, in Owings Mills, Maryland, is a Tom Fazio creation that opened in 1991 and quickly established itself among the premier courses in the Mid-Atlantic.

Its first PGA TOUR appearance came in 2021, when it staged the BMW Championship and delivered an unforgettable playoff between Patrick Cantlay and Bryson DeChambeau.

Course Guide/ Scorecard:
Caves Valley Golf Club, designed by Tom Fazio, is a par-70 layout stretching 7,601 yards. The course offers a balanced mix of four par 3s, twelve par 4s, and two par 5s, rewarding players who can combine distance with solid ball striking.
As the third longest course on the PGA TOUR this season, its 33-yard-wide fairways rank among the 20 widest, making length off the tee more valuable than pinpoint accuracy. The greens are smaller than the TOUR average at about 5,200 square feet, placing extra importance on precise approach shots. With just 68 bunkers, the 19th fewest on TOUR, hazards are less of a factor, but players will still need sharp iron play to score well.
The four Par 3s at Caves Valley Golf Club range from 197 to 245 yards, placing a premium on precision and smart club selection. At the 2021 BMW Championship, only one hole, No. 6, played over par on average, while the others (No. 3, No. 13, and No. 17) proved to be easier.
Hole 13 | Par 3 | 245 Yards | 2021 Stroke Average: 2.95 (Difficulty Rank – 9)
At the 2021 BMW Championship, this hole played at 225 yards, but for this year’s tournament, it has been lengthened by 20 yards.
An intimidating tee shot on the 245-yard par 3 for players hitting over water to the largest green on the course. A back left pin will make this hole play substantially tougher than other holes. Long and right are the misses here for players hitting long iron onto this green.
Hole 17 | Par 3 | 245 Yards | 2021 Stroke Average: 2.97 (Difficulty Rank – 7)
At the 2021 BMW Championship, this hole played at 197 yards, but for this year’s tournament, it has been lengthened by 48 yards.
Beautiful sand bunkers guard the green with a water feature on the right. The early summer and fall prevailing winds help keep the ball left of the water; however, it is deemed harder than it appears. The green slopes back-to-front, par will be a good score for this par 3.
Caves Valley Golf Club features twelve par 4s, most of which fall between 450 and 500 yards. Strategy plays a major role, particularly on holes that offer tempting risk-reward opportunities. In 2021, the two toughest Par 4s were the 18th and 9th.
Hole 9 | Par 4 | 470 Yards | 2021 Stroke Average: 4.01 (Difficulty Rank – 3)
This par 4, 470-yard hole provides an uphill walk to the fairway and will not be an easy finish to the back nine. This is another tee shot where the bunkers are firmly in play, pinched into the sides of the fairway and forcing players to aim down the middle. Most players will be left with a long iron or hybrid into an elevated green, protected by a large, deep bunker in front with two other bunkers surrounding.
Hole 12 | Par 4 | 521 Yards | 2021 Stroke Average: 4.51 (Difficulty Rank – 17)
Playing as a par 5 for members and previously played as a par 5 in 2021, this hole is now a demanding 568-yard par 4.There is no tolerance for a right-handed slice with water that runs down the right side of the hole. The bunkers have been designed so that a tee shot must be short of the penalty area, or the longest of hitters will have a narrow window to negotiate the bunkers up the left and right side of the fairway landing area. The green is large, and beware of a right pin location, which may push balls into the water.
Hole 18 | Par 4 | 470 Yards | 2021 Stroke Average: 4.15 (Difficulty Rank – 1)
The tee measures 470 yards to the green from the Championship tee on this par 4, while playing uphill and into a prevailing wind. Bunkers have been pinched into the left side of the fairway, with an 8-foot-wide winding stream running down the right side of the hole. Players must find the fairway with their tee shot to have any chance at a birdie or par. Hitting uphill into a green that is difficult to see means that players must be precise with their yardage. Approach shots missed to the right will find the stream, while bailing out left will find a tough greenside bunker.
Both par 5s at Caves Valley Golf Club, No. 4 and No. 16, played under par in 2021 and present the best birdie or eagle chances on the course. That said, hitting the fairway is crucial to capitalize on these scoring opportunities.
Hole 4 | Par 5 | 590 Yards | 2021 Stroke Average: 4.61 (Difficulty Rank – 15)
A daunting par 5 measuring 590 yards from the back tee. Staying left on the tee shot will provide a possible approach, while short and right is all trouble. The longest hitters may choose to fly over the corner dogleg bunker, which could mean the difference between a long iron and fairway wood into the green. Attempts to reach this green in two shots that come up left or right will find new greenside bunkers from which birdie will be an unlikely score. As players are walking down the fairway from the tee, they can look to their right to take in the impressive view of the 15th and 16th holes.
Hole 16 | Par 5 | 599 Yards | 2021 Stroke Average: 4.71 (Difficulty Rank – 13)
This 600-yard hole is the toughest par 5 on the course. Large bunkers line the left and right sides of the landing zone, so accuracy off the tee is a must. Players that find the bunkers off the tee will be forced to take a lofted club to advance the ball back into the fairway. The green sits horizontally and is extremely difficult with multiple hole locations.
