The race for the 2027 Signature Series spots is heating up! At the BMW Championship, it's not just about who performs best in the battle for the FedEx Cup, but also who secures access to the exclusive Signature Series Events in 2027. This is the real game-changer that adds extra spice to this second playoff tournament.
The event is reserved for the top 50 in the FedEx Cup standings who made it here after the FedEx St. Jude Championship. The tournament is being played at Bellerive Country Club in St. Louis, a course that last hosted the event in 2008. A prize purse of a whopping 20 million dollars is up for grabs, with an incredible 3.6 million dollars going to the winner, plus 750 FedEx Cup points.
The Battle for the Elite League
For many, it's not just about qualifying for the big Tour Championship final for the Top 30. Much more important for long-term career planning is the golden ticket for the nine Signature Series Events next year. Anyone who finishes in the season's Top 50 at the end of the week secures their spot in the biggest non-Major events of 2027 – an absolute game changer for many golfers.
Scheffler and McIlroy in the Thick of It
Right in the middle of this double showdown? Of course, Scottie Scheffler, who is teeing off as the defending champion and dominant force of the season. Rory McIlroy is also right up there, looking not only to assert himself in the FedEx Cup rankings but also to solidify his status for the upcoming season. The final round at Bellerive Country Club is already underway and promises golf drama of the highest caliber.
