Known more for its head-to-head bout between Brooks Koepka and Tiger Woods at the PGA Championship in 2018 than any PGA Tour event, Bellerive Country Club is certainly a course worthy of major championship host status.
The Tour makes its return to St. Louis this week for the second leg of the FedExCup Playoffs, where Bellerive is once again set to host the BMW Championship, The club last held the distinction almost two decades ago in 2008, when Camilo Villegas won its first-ever, non-major event.
The other winners beside Koepka and Villegas are Gary Player (1965 U.S. Open) and Nick Price (1992 PGA Championship). Sunday’s champ not only nets a ton of postseason points and the biggest payout from the $20 million purse, he gets to join that collection of names. Will it be pre-tournament favorite Scottie Scheffler in a repeat of last year’s BMW or perhaps the world’s second-ranked player looking to avenge a 66th-place finish in Memphis?
Before we get too far ahead of ourselves with talk of the winner’s circle, let’s highlight how and when fans can watch the action in Missouri on Golf Channel and Golf Channel mobile beginning from Thursday’s opening round to the final round Sunday.
