The third leg of the FedExCup Playoffs gets underway on Thursday at Aronimink Golf Club in Newton Square, PA, with the BMW Championship.
The headliner, naturally, is Tiger Woods, who returns to the BMW for the first time since 2013.
Forming one of the tournament’s marquee groups, Woods will be joined by fellow U.S. Ryder Cuppers Jordan Spieth and Rickie Fowler. Following the Woods group will be another threesome headed to Paris in Justin Rose, Dustin Johnson, and Bryson DeChambeau.
Finally, Tony Finau will be paired with two potential Ryder Cup teammates in Justin Thomas and Brooks Koepka.
