The 2021 BMW Championship at Caves Valley Golf Club

March 20, 2021 by Greg Miles

CAVES-VALLEY-MD
The 2021 BMW Championship, part of the FedEx Cup, will be played at Caves Valley Golf Club in Owings Mills, Maryland, from August 26-29.

The 2020 BMW Championship took place August 27-30 at Olympia Fields Country Club in the southwest suburbs of Chicago and was won by Jon Rahm. The event took place on Olympia Fields North course, which also hosted the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship in 2017.

The BMW Championship is open to the top 70 PGA Tour golfers following The Northern Trust. With only seventy players in the field, there is no 36-hole cut.

Justin Thomas won the 2019 BMW Championship at Medinah Country Club. Thomas finished at 25-under 263, tying a tournament record with a closing 68 after a third-round, course-record 61. Patrick Cantlay finished second and Hideki Matsuyama finished third.

Before becoming the BMW Championship, the event was previously known as The Western Open Golf Tournament and typically was played in early July around the Chicago area. Cog Hill and Butler National hosted the event between 1974 and 2006.

All proceeds from the BMW Championship benefit the Evans Scholars Foundation, which awards full tuition and housing college scholarships to deserving caddies from modest means. The current number of student-caddies with tuition assistance provided by the Evans Scholars Foundation is 1010; they are enrolled in eighteen universities nationwide.

Since 1930, more than 11,050 young men and women have graduated from college as Evans Scholars. Most recipients attend one of the 17 universities where the Evans Scholars Foundation operates a Scholarship House. Evans Scholars are selected on the basis of excellent grades, outstanding character, strong caddie record and demonstrated financial need.
