Clark's pre-shot routine sparks debate as BMW Championship win seals $3.6M

Wyndham Clark won the BMW Championship by three strokes, earning $3.6 million, after drawing scrutiny for several practice swings and adjustments to his lie on the 14th hole. He hit a 173-yard approach to about 24 feet, parred the final hole, and finished 17-under to beat Patrick Cantlay (McIlroy was third at 13-under). The win advances Clark to the Tour Championship with a $10 million prize on the line amid ongoing social-media debate over potential penalties for improving his lie.

Scheffler Fights Through Illness to Stay FedExCup Leader at BMW

PGA Tour urges Spieth to play fall events to safeguard star power

Spieth failed to crack the FedEx Cup top 50, ending his season with a 19th-place finish at the FedEx St. Jude Championship and missing the BMW Championship for the third straight year. The piece argues the PGA Tour should require Spieth to participate in at least a couple of Fall events (via sponsor invites if needed) to keep his box-office appeal alive and boost attention heading into 2027, noting sponsor invites may dwindle and a strong Fall showing—starting with events like the Baycurrent Classic—would silence critics and support the Tour’s schedule.

Spieth’s Playoff Bid Ends Short of BMW as St. Jude Finale Comes Up Short

Jordan Spieth’s 2026 PGA Tour season concluded with a 4-under 284 at the FedEx St. Jude Championship, leaving him 52nd in the FedExCup standings and just outside the top-50 cutoff to reach the BMW Championship. After opening with a 65 and briefly contending, a Saturday 72 and a final-round 70 dropped him out of playoff contention. Spieth said he’s within reach of his best form and remains confident about what’s next as he heads into the off-season.

Scheffler Looms Large as 3M Open Tests Fantasy Tactics Ahead of the FedExCup Rainstorm

Fantasy insider Rob Bolton argues the 3M Open is a high-leverage week for FedExCup strategy: Scheffler is likely to play and will be a top-owned captain, so rosters should capitalize on his potential while accounting for the playoff points structure (50 FedExCup points for the 3M Open winner vs 75 for playoff event winners). The piece outlines how to balance ownership, suggests a sample lineup, and cautions against overreacting to course fit and recent form as players chase playoff qualification.
