BMW Championship 2023 Field
The BMW Championship will be made up of the top 50 players in the FedEx Cup rankings.
The top players include Jon Rahm, Scottie Scheffler, and Rory McIlroy, but there are several other golfers to keep an eye on this week. Every golfer in the field has a chance to win, and for those outside the top 30, a win or a good showing changes everything.
To make the playoffs more competitive this year, the PGA Tour decided to cut down the field size in each subsequent tournament, leaving no room for errors this weekend at Olympia Fields Country Club.

The first group to tee kick off the FedEx Cup Playoffs will feature J.T. Poston and Brendon Todd. Due to the small field size, there will only be groups of two this weekend at Olympia Fields.
