Who is playing in 2026 BMW Championship: 50-man Field Breakdown

 BMW Championship Field 2026: Full List of Golfers For Second Leg of PGA Tour Playoffs at Bellerive Club 

The PGA Tour Playoffs are in full swing, and the field is narrowing. After a high-stakes opening event at the FedEx St. Jude Championship, only the top 50 players in the FedEx Cup standings are moving on.

Only the top 50 in the FedEx Cup Standings advanced to the second of three legs of the FedEx Cup Playoffs, the BMW Championship, which takes place this week in Maryland. 

But even more importantly, the top 50 automatically qualify for all eight signature events in 2026. 

It's a huge head start to making it back to the top 50. Just ask Chris Kirk, who hit into the water at 15 and made bogey to fall outside the top 50. He made birdie at 18 but it wasn't enough. He improved from No. 61 entering the week to No. 51 but ended up being the first man out.
