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...

BMW Championship. Third week of the FedEx Cup playoffs. Rory McIlroy has finally made it into the featured image for P&P, thanks to his come-from-behind W at the Deutsche Bank Championship. This week, 69 professionals (Henrik Stenson is sitting the tournament out to rest his knee) head to what was once a cornfield outside Indiana. Crooked Stick plays host to the BMW for the first time since 2012. Fantasy golf analytics and analysis gurus GolfStrat have identified approach play from 100 to 200-plus yards as critical at Crooked Stick this week, with driving distance having some...

“Things can turn around quickly in this game,” Rory McIlroy told Golf Channel (via Reuters) after his final-round six-under 65 to win the Deutsche Bank Championship. Indeed they can. McIlroy was without a win on the PGA Tour this season prior to taking the Deutsche Bank, and he had struggled mightily with his putting, looking particularly bad with the flatstick this summer. For reasons enumerated in winners and losers this week, that all changed at TPC Boston. Of course, Mr. McIlroy isn’t our only winner this week. To see who joins him on the good side of ledger (and who doesn’t),...

Rory McIlroy used one of the season’s best final-round performances to capture his first PGA Tour win of 2016 with a two-stroke triumph in the Deutsche Bank Championship. He joins Vijay Singh as the only two-time champions in the event.

The victory moved him from 38th to fourth in the FedEx Cup playoffs rankings with two events left. Let’s check out the final leaderboard from TPC Boston: And here’s a look...

It had been a long, frustrating 15 months. Rory McIlroy sat watching idly as Jordan Spieth, Jason Day, Dustin Johnson and then Henrik Stenson all zoomed past him on leaderboards and the world golf rankings. Fifteen months had passed since his last win on American soil. The wait is now over. McIlroy soared to the top of the leaderboard Monday at the 2016 Deutsche Bank Championship, shooting a six-under 65 to win his second tournament and first PGA Tour event of the year. He recorded five of his seven birdies on a sterling 31 on the front nine, putting pressure on a group of leaders who couldn’t...

It’s looking less likely than ever that we’ll see the first repeat FedEx Cup champion in history, as Jordan Spieth bowed out of the 2016 Deutsche Bank Championship in relative anonymity Monday. Spieth carded a two-under 69, which took him into the clubhouse in 24th place. If current projections hold, he will drop from fifth place to sixth in the FedEx Cup standings. The 23-year-old, who tied for 10th at last week’s Barclays tournament, hasn’t won since May’s Dean & Deluca Invitational. He’s recorded just two top 10s since that triumph and remains...

Another solid round has Paul Casey in the lead at the Deutsche Bank Championship at 15 under par, three strokes ahead of a jumbled leaderboard heading into the final round Monday. Surprising names such as Brian Harman (12 under) and Smylie Kaufman (11 under) are also trying to do damage thanks to impressive performances Sunday. Here is a look at the top of the leaderboard from TPC Boston: The Deutsche Bank Championship is the second of four playoff events for the FedEx Cup, which will be decided in three weeks at the Tour Championship. While 100 players were eligible for this...
