BMW Championship

Well ladies and gentlemen, the final event of the 2010 FedEx Cup playoffs is upon us, as The Tour Championship is about ready to get underway at East Lake in Atlanta. We’ve had some great tournaments in this year’s race for the FedEx Cup, and this one usually never disappoints, as defending champion Phil Mickelson will be looking to repeat here, and try to be a factor in winning the cup. However, Matt Kuchar and Charley Hoffman are your top two right now, and will certainly be trying to win their first ever FedEx Cup trophy. Let’s get right to [...]

If you’re a fan of pro golf, then there’s no doubt that there have been a few events in the golfing world that have stood out above the rest this season. But the biggest event of them all was the PGA Championship at Whistling Straits, which saw a rather controversial finish, to say the least. And though this week’s BMW Championship wasn’t a major, it still had to feel pretty good for one player in particular. The man at the center of all the controversy last month, Dustin Johnson, rallied for a big victory at Cog Hill, holding off Paul [...]

Golf fans, the third event of this year’s FedEx Cup playoffs is getting underway at Cog Hill, as the world’s best players are looking to advance to Atlanta next week for The Tour Championship. But first, there’s the BMW Championship, and this tournament is sure to give us a lot of drama and excitement before heading into the final event of the playoffs next week.

We’re halfway through the 2010 FedEx Cup playoffs, and now it’s time to get ready for the BMW Championship, as there is always a lot on the line for those still in the race for the cup. This is the place where players can build some great momentum before heading into The Tour Championship next weekend in Atlanta. Matt Kuchar and Charley Hoffman have picked up wins already in this year’s playoffs, but can one of them take complete control with a win this week? Let’s get right to predictions!

In the first event of the 2010 FedEx Cup playoffs, we saw a very dramatic finish, with Matt Kuchar knocking off Martin Laird in a playoff to take the FedEx Cup lead. But at the final round of the Deutsche Bank Championship, there wasn’t a whole lot of drama, as it was a one-man show down the stretch. And the star of that show was Charley Hoffman, who shot an amazing round of 62 and left the rest of the field in a trail of dust, picking up his first win of the season.

It’s Monday morning, which means it’s time to take a look back at this weekend’s action at the BMW Championship. Plenty of interesting things to talk about, so let’s get right to it:

As if there was any doubt, Tiger Woods managed to hang on to that seven shot lead heading into the final round, and won the BMW Championship today at Cog Hill. Woods didn’t play particular great today, but it would have been kind of hard to knock off the course record for a second straight day. He shot a 3-under 68 to win the tournament by eight shots, which is vintage Tiger.

So of all the days I could have missed a round of golf, why did it have to be yesterday? And of course, what does Tiger Woods do? He shoots a Cog Hill course record (62) and sits at 16-under par for the tournament. The next closest person to him heading into the final round? Brandt Snedeker. At 9-under, and seven shots back.

In a not-so surprising turn of events at the BMW Championship, a man named Woods has found a way to get to the top of the leaderboard. That’s right ladies and gentlemen, Tiger Woods is at the top. Woods shot a round a 4-under par 67 today, and has made his way atop the leaderboard, and is currently tied with Mark Wilson at 7-under. Here’s the AP story on the day’s action.

Didn’t get a chance to see much of the action today at Cog Hill, but here’s an AP story recapping the day’s golf in Chicago. And you can view the full leaderboard here. Rory Sabbatini is clearly a little angry after being left off the Presidents Cup team, and shot a 5-under 66 in the first round today. But we’ll see if that can be used as momentum throughout the entire week.

Things get going today at Cog Hill, as the FedEx Cup race continues at the BMW Championship. And then things get started tomorrow for the ladies at the P&G Beauty NW Arkansas Championship. In case you missed it yesterday, here’s my predictions for the BMW Championship. Let’s go Tiger! So, if you want to catch some great professional golf, then you’ve gotta know when and where to watch it, right? Here’s the TV schedule for the week:

The third tournament of the FedEx Cup playoffs gets going tomorrow in Chicago, as Camilo Villegas tries to defend his BMW Championship in what should be an exciting few days of golf. Here’s a video recapping some final round highlights from last year:
