BMW Championship week has arrived! We are thrilled to have this exceptional event in Lake County at Conway Farms Golf Club in Lake Forest. The event will feature golfers Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, Rory McIlroy and North Shore's own Luke Donald. Other golfers included local favorite Steve Stricker, 20-year-old rookie-of-the-year candidate Jordan Spieth, Adam Scott, Justin Rose and Jason Dufner.

One of the PGA TOUR’s most prestigious events, the BMW Championship is the penultimate event in the FedExCup Playoffs. Its 70-man field consistently features many of the world’s top players, and this year is no exception.

The BMW Championship, the penultimate even in the PGA TOUR’s FedExCup Playoffs, will showcase the talents of 70 of the world’s top professional golfers. Practice round tickets providing access one day Monday through Wednesday are available for $10. All week, juniors age 16 and under will be admitted free when accompanied by an adult while active or retired military members will be admitted free any day of the tournament with status verified in advance.

Tournament officials said tickets in most categories are still available at BMWChampionshipUSA.com or by calling 847-724-4600. They noted that popular Any-OneDay grounds tickets may be purchased online for $40 or for $55 at-the-gate.
