It’s a big week for Scottie Scheffler, Xander Schauffele, Hideki Matsuyama and the rest of the 50-player field at the BMW Championship, the second event in the FedEx Cup Playoffs. Only the top 30 on the FedEx Cup points list when play ends Sunday will advance to the Tour Championship at East Lake with the chance to claim the FedEx Cup title and the $25 million prize money payout.

It’s also a big week for Castle Pines Golf Club in Castle Rock, Colo. The Jack Nicklaus-designed course held an annual PGA Tour event from 1986 to 2006. Now, after undergoing a $25 million renovation, it plays host to the first tour event to be held in the Centennial State since the 2014 BMW was played at Cherry Hills Country Club.

A year ago at Olympia Fields outside of Chicago, Viktor Hovland started his BMW Sunday three shots back of the lead but made seven birdies in his final nine holes to set a new course record (61) and win by two shots. He kept the momentum going the next week, winning the Tour Championship at East Lake and claiming the FedEx Cup title.

Denny McCarthy currently sits in the 30th and final spot for the Tour Championship heading into the BMW. Nick Dunlap will also be playing this week following a T-5 finish at TPC Southwind that jumped him up to No. 48. It’s going to take another remarkable finish from Dunlap, and fellow on-the-cutline pros like Cam Davis and Keegan Bradley, to lock down a spot at East Lake.

This week’s winner will receive 2,000 FedEx Cup points and a $4 million cut of the $20 million purse.

Private Castle Pines Golf Club Castle Rock, CO, United States 4.6 145 Panelists

• 100 Greatest
• Best In State

When Golf Digest began its annual Best New Course awards in 1983, the review panel selected Castle Pines as the Private Course winner, but Bill Davis, co-founder of Golf Digest and founding father of all its course rankings, didn’t care for the course and vetoed its inclusion. So no private course was honored that year. Davis soon recognized his error, and in 1987—its first year of eligibility—Castle Pines joined America’s 100 Greatest and has remained there ever since. Club founder Jack Vickers, a Midwest oilman, had urged architect Jack Nicklaus to produce a mountain-venue design worthy of a major championship. Jack did, but when a championship never resulted, Vickers established his own, The International, which for many years was the only PGA Tour event played under a unique Stableford format. It’s a pity that The International is no longer on the Tour’s schedule. Like Muirfield Village, the only other solo Nicklaus design in the top 50, Castle Pines has undergone a steady procession of hole alterations to keep pace with changing technology, and changing tastes.
