The PGA Tour heads to St. Louis for the second playoff event, as the top 50 will get trimmed to the top 30 for the Tour Championship Aug 22, 2026 at 2:00 pm ET • 2 min read The BMW Championship is well underway from St. Louis. The tournament is back at Bellerive Country Club, hosting a PGA Tour event for the first time since the 2018 PGA Championship. The top 50 players this season are all battling it out for the final 30 spots in the Tour Championship next week in Atlanta.This year's U.S. Open champion Wyndham Clark holds the 36-hold lead at 12-under. He has yet to make a bogey this week, the first time he's done so over the first 36 holes in a tournament in his career. He has plenty of competition vying for the title this weekend, including Gary Woodland at 11 under and J.J. Spaun at 10 under after Round 2.A week after lapping the field in Memphis, World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler struggled out of the gates in St. Louis as he shot a 2-over 72 that had him near the bottom of the leaderboard. He came back strong on Friday, however, in closing with five birdies on the back nine. He's looking to keep his game in form for next week as he's already assured a spot in Atlanta.Rory McIlroy, meanwhile, could use a good finish after his struggles at the St. Jude Championship. He's in a fine spot after two rounds as he sits at 7 under. He's played sparingly this season on the PGA Tour, but a week of sharpening his tools could set him up for a strong showing at the Tour Championship. The bubble battle is sure to heat up this weekend with players like Woodland needing to maintain his strong play to make it to Atlanta. Woodland started the week No. 31 in the Fedex Cup standings and seems on his way to making the trip to Atlanta, but players like Patrick Cantlay, Justin Thomas and more will need to really turn it up over the final two rounds to make a push for the top 30.Watch Rounds 3-4 of the 2026 BMW Championship live from 3-6 p.m. ET this weekend on CBS, CBSSports.com, Paramount+ and the CBS Sports App.Here's how you can watch the top 50 duke it out for the second event of the FedEx Cup Playoffs all weekend. 2026 BMW Championship TV scheduleAll times EasternRound 3 - SaturdayRound 3 starts: 9:15 a.m. [Tee times]PGA Tour Live: 9:15 a.m. - 6 p.m. -- PGA Tour LiveEarly TV coverage: 1-3 p.m. on Golf ChannelEarly streaming: 1-3 p.m. on GolfChannel.comLive TV coverage: 3-6 p.m. on CBS, Paramount+Live streaming: 3-6 p.m. on CBSSports.com, CBS Sports AppRadio: 1-6 p.m. -- PGA Tour Radio Round 4 - SundayRound 4 starts: 9:15 a.m. [Tee times]PGA Tour Live: 9:15 a.m. - 6 p.m. -- PGA Tour LiveEarly TV coverage: 12-2 p.m. on Golf ChannelEarly streaming: 12-2 p.m. on GolfChannel.com Live TV coverage: 2-6 p.m. on CBS, Paramount+Live streaming: 2-6 p.m. on CBSSports.com, CBS Sports AppRadio: 1-6 p.m. -- PGA Tour Radio
