The PGA Tour's 2026 FedExCup Playoffs move to their second stage, the BMW Championship, at Bellerive Country Club in St Louis, Missouri, with the field now cut to 50 players. The event is a crucial staging post in the season-ending playoff series, as only the top 30 players in the FedExCup standings after this week will progress to the TOUR Championship at East Lake next week, making every shot significant for those on the bubble.

Bellerive is a lengthy par-70 course measuring 7,448 yards with bentgrass greens, and has previously hosted major championships, most recently the 2018 PGA Championship, won by Brooks Koepka. Forecast rain is expected to soften the course further, which commentators suggest could lead to low scoring over the course of the tournament.
