Image

The BMW Championship 2025 at Caves Valley Golf Club in Maryland promises thrilling entertainment, where advancement to the final Tour Championship will be decided. Monumental course with new challenges Caves Valley has transformed significantly since the last BMW Championship in 2021. The course designed by Tom Fazio has been extended to an impressive 7,601 yards - the longest on the PGA Tour since 2015. Surprisingly, the par has also been reduced from 72 to 70, which experts believe will lead to another birdie festival despite the increased length.

US Open warm-up: McIlroy faces skeptical voices in Toronto

Image
  A week before the prestigious US Open at Oakmont, the world's golf elite is gathering in Toronto, Canada for the RBC Canadian Open 2025. Rory McIlroy arrives as the main favorite with fresh memories of this year's Masters triumph, but experts are skeptical about his chances. The reason is primarily McIlroy's approach to the tournament as merely preparation for the upcoming major. The Northern Irish golfer, currently world number two, is seeking a hat-trick in the Canadian event after winning the tournament twice before. Bookmakers give him +450 odds for overall victory, making him the clear favorite in a weakened field. Many stars like Scottie Scheffler are taking a rest before the US Open, opening opportunities for less favored players. TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley after major reconstruction will offer players a technical test on a par 70 course measuring 6,766 meters. The $9.8 million purse provides decent motivation, but for McIlroy it will primarily be about findin...
