Heading into this week’s BMW Championship, the second event of the PGA Tour playoffs, everyone is looking up at Scottie Scheffler.

The World No. 1 got the playoffs started in style, capturing his second win of the season at the FedEx St. Jude Championship by an impressive eight shots. Now Scheffler will try to further cement his FedEx Cup lead with another win at the BMW, which he triumphed at last year.

Scheffler will be joined by 49 other Tour pros who made the cut to qualify for the second playoff event. They’ll be fighting to get within the top 30 to qualify for the Tour Championship.

Scheffler tees off for Round 1 at 2:33 p.m. ET alongside Matt Fitzpatrick.
