The 2026 BMW Championship launches Thursday at Bellerive Country Club in St. Louis, marking the gateway round of this Weekend Pro Shop. Detailed tee times and matchups for Round 1 are listed below.
As the second event of the PGA Tour playoffs unfolds, Scottie Scheffler dominates the conversation. The World No. 1 seized the FedEx St. Jude Championship by an impressive margin and is targeting back‑to‑back titles at the BMW, having prevailed there earlier this season.
Fifty other tour professionals have earned a seat at the start, necessitating a podium finish within the top 30 to guarantee entry to the upcoming Tour Championship.
Scheffler will begin his participation at 2:33 p.m. ET alongside teammate Matt Fitzpatrick.
Broadcasting the first round spans two windows: 10 a.m.–12 p.m. ET televised on ESPN, extending through 3–7 p.m. on the Golf Channel. Exclusive early access debuts at 9:15 a.m. ET via PGA Tour Live (accessible through ESPN+).
