After an ambitious course renovation, Aronimink Golf Club is preparing to host the BMW Championship in September.
At this penultimate event of the PGA Tour’s FedExCup playoffs, the top 70 players will
compete for 30 spots at the season-ending Tour Championship in Atlanta. It will mark the first time since 1959 that this event, formerly known as the Western Open, will be contested in Pennsylvania.
Regarded as one of the premier golf courses in the country, the storied Newtown Square club has a proven track record of hosting major golf events, most recently the AT&T National in 2010 and 2011. The legendary Donald Ross layout in will also be the site of two other
golf tournaments: the 2020 KPMG Women’s PGA Championship and the 2027 men’s
PGA Championship.
