Downers Grove, IL -
Tiger Woods, the world’s No. 1-rated golfer and current leader in the FedExCup Points standings, today informed BMW Championship tournament officials of his commitment to play in this year’s Championship as the event returns to Cog Hill Golf and Country Club in Lemont, Ill., Sept. 7 to 13.
Woods is a four-time winner of the Western Golf Association’s annual professional championship and took home the trophy in 2007, the last time the event was contested at Cog Hill and the first year of the BMW Championship and PGA TOUR Playoffs for the FedExCup.
Woods previously won the event in 1997, 1999 and 2003 when it was known as the Western Open. In addition to his four previous WGA wins, Woods has four other top-10 finishes – including runner-up finishes in 2005 and 2006 – in 12 career starts in the event.
The BMW Championship – the third event in the PGA TOUR Playoffs – returns this year to Cog Hill after being played last season at Bellerive Country Club in St. Louis.
The Championship will be contested on Dubsdread, Cog Hill’s championship course, where Tiger Woods will join 69 other top TOUR stars in competition for a $1.35 million winner’s share of the championship’s $7.5 million purse.
