BMW Round 1 tee times: What to know

Heading into this week’s BMW Championship, the second event of the PGA Tour playoffs, everyone is looking up at Scottie Scheffler.

Scheffler will be joined by 49 other Tour pros who made the cut to qualify for the second playoff event. They’ll be fighting to get within the top 30 to qualify for the Tour Championship.

Scheffler tees off for Round 1 at 2:33 p.m. ET alongside Matt Fitzpatrick.
