Rickie Fowler looks to advance at BMW Championship amid FedEx Cup pressure
Summary

Rickie Fowler enters the BMW Championship at Bellerive Country Club in St. Louis as the current No. 30 in the FedEx Cup points standings. Only the top 30 players will qualify for the Tour Championship in Atlanta. Players in the 50-man field aim for a strong finish to secure their spots, with Fowler needing at least a solo 50th to advance. The stakes include eligibility for major tournaments next year, along with a two-year PGA Tour exemption for those who qualify for East Lake. The tournament also features nearly $100 million in FedEx Cup bonus money.
