Defending champion and world No. 1 Jason Day heads a stellar field including an in-form Rory McIlroy as the battle for the FedEx Cup heads to Crooked Stick, Indiana for the BMW Championship on Thursday.
The BMW is the penultimate event of the play-offs and is restricted to the top-70 players in the FedEx standings. However, the field is reduced to 69 this year as Open champion Henrik Stenson sits it out with a knee injury, as reported by Alex Myers of Golf Digest.
After Crooked Stick, the top 30 players will go on to qualify for the season-ending Tour championship at East Lake and contest a $10 million top prize.
