SuperSport viewers on DStv can look forward to seeing all the action from the PGA Tour’s BMW Championship from the Wilmington Country Club in Delaware from Thursday 18 to Sunday 21 August 2022.

SuperSport is the ultimate destination for Golf fans, with an unparalleled selection of action from around the world.

The longest running event on the PGA Tour outside of the four majors, the BMW Championship (formerly known as the Western Open) is the second event of the PGA Tour FedEx Cup Playoffs. It is open to the top 70 finishers from the previous week’s FedEx St. Jude Championship and will feature no 36-hole cut.

The top 30 FedEx Cup points leaders following the BMW Championship advance to the final playoff event, The Tour Championship, where the FedEx Cup Champion will be determined.

The BMW Championship field is headlined by Jon Rahm, Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy.

Last year’s BMW Championship was won by Patrick Cantlay, who defeated fellow American Bryson DeChambeau in a playoff.

“I got it all week. There was maybe one or two guys that followed me around maybe all four days, and just every hole, screaming it. These were some of the most supportive, loudest fans I’ve ever experienced,” Cantlay said after his triumph last year.

“I’m as focused as I can be on every single shot, and I try not to let my mind get past the moment that I’m in, and maybe that’s why I come across a little sedated out there.

“But I’m locked in, and I’m as focused as I can be. Then I kind of let the chips fall where they do. Try not to get caught up in being out-driven 45 yards or whatever it is. I just try and lock in and do my absolute best in that moment, and my best is pretty good.”

Wilmington Country Club’s Tom Humphrey said of the 2022 BMW Championship: “It’s a big deal and we’re very excited about it. And from a golf standpoint, this is as good as it gets for a guy like me.”

He added, “I’m sure if somebody was a big follower of some of the folks that went to LIV, they might be disappointed. But we do know at the end of the day, we’re going to have some of the really, really good players here and some great names.”

The Wilmington Country Club features a 7244-yard par 70 course. The purse for the BMW Championship is $15million.

SuperSport viewers on DStv can look forward to seeing all the action from the PGA Tour’s FedEx St. Jude Championship from TPC Southwind in Memphis, Tennessee from Thursday 11 to Sunday 14 August 2022.

SuperSport is the ultimate destination for Golf fans, with an unparalleled selection of action from around the world.

For the first time, the FedEx St. Jude Championship – formerly The Northern Trust tournament which would alternate between New York and Boston – will come to Tennessee as the first event in the FedExCup Playoffs.

Last year, this event was won by American Tony Finau, who shot a 264 (-20) before defeating Australia’s Cameron Smith in a playoff.

This year’s FedExCup has been affected by the formation of the LIV Golf Invitational Series, with the PGA Tour recently confirming that it will use a secondary points list, ensuring that “suspended members do not negatively impact other players’ tournament eligibility, positioning on the priority rankings or eligibility to compete in the FedExCup playoffs”.

While the new list will not take the place of the official FedExCup points list, it will provide clarity for players and fans alike in regard to tournament eligibility, including the FedExCup playoffs and priority rankings for the 2022-23 season.

“We have taken steps to ensure that at the conclusion of the FedExCup regular season and FedExCup playoffs, any suspended players will not negatively impact bonus money distributions to [players],” said the PGA Tour.

“You will be awarded bonus money based on your final position on the FedExCup playoffs and eligibility points list; suspended members will be awarded bonus money based on their final position on the official FedExCup points list.”

The field for the FedEx St. Jude Championship will feature defending champion Finau, as well as reigning Masters champion Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy, Cameron Young, Davis Riley and Chad Ramey.

“As the eyes of the golf world turn to Memphis for the kick-off to the FedExCup Playoffs in August, the FedEx St. Jude Championship can’t wait to celebrate our hometown,” said Executive Director Joe Tomek.

“This event will showcase the heart of Memphis to the fans at TPC Southwind. We’re excited to celebrate all Memphis has to offer and engage new audience to experience the championship for the first time during one of the biggest events on the PGA Tour.”

The TPC Southwind features a 7244-yard par 70 course. The purse for the FedEx St. Jude Championship is $15million.
