Keegan Bradley came out on top at the 2024 BMW Championship at Castle Pines Golf Club in Castle Rock, Colorado. He entered the tournament as the last player to qualify, but he finished on top, marking a remarkable turnaround.
Bradley took the title of the BMW Championship by one shot, finishing at 12 under par with a total of 276. This win not only earned him his seventh PGA Tour title but also guaranteed his place in the Tour Championship.
Ryder Cup captain’s performance was especially impressive, considering how challenging the season has been for him. It just goes to show how resilient and determined he is on the course.
Sam Burns, Ludvig Aberg, and Adam Scott all tied for second place at the BMW Championship, just a stroke behind Bradley. Each of these players showed incredible skill throughout the tournament.
Scott’s eagle on the opening hole of the BMW Championship’s final round briefly threatened Bradley’s lead. The eventual winner kept up his consistent play, especially on the 17th hole where he made a crucial birdie, which helped him maintain his advantage and secure the win.
Bradley’s victory at the BMW Championship wasn’t just about the money—the $3.6 million winner’s share from the $20 million purse is nice—but also about the long-term implications. The win helped him move up in the FedEx Cup standings, putting him in fourth place going into the Tour Championship.
This makes him a strong contender in the final event of the season, further solidifying his place among the top players on the PGA Tour.
The BMW Championship also saw some big changes in the FedEx Cup standings, with Bradley, Scott, Tommy Fleetwood, and Chris Kirk moving on to the Tour Championship. Unfortunately, this meant the end of the playoff run for players like Brian Harman, Jason Day, and Denny McCarthy.
World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, who finished tied for 33rd at the BMW Championship, kept his top spot in the standings, so he’ll start the Tour Championship with a 10-under. All eyes will be on him as the leader heading into the final leg of the playoffs.
