Alongside them, Viktor Hovland will also be seen showcasing his great form, after the stellar win at the FedEx Cup Playoffs. Even the European Ryder Cup captain Luke Donald is part of the field. Defending champion Shane Lowry is also in the fray and will look to make it two in two.
It’s an 18-hole layout in Kentwood Country Club. A cut after the first leg of the tournament, that is after two rounds, will take the best 70 players (including ties) into the weekend action. The stakes are high at the event.
What will be the prize money distribution?
Last year the purse of the BMW PGA Championship was $8 million. But this year, there has been an increase in the amount by $1 million and thus, the total purse stands at $9 million this year.
