How much they are playing for at 2022 BMW Championship

The BMW Championship marked the second leg of the $75million FedEx Cup Playoffs on the PGA Tour.

It has a record prize purse of $15million, with the winner at Wilmington Country Club in Delaware banking a cool check for $2.7million. 

The defending champion was Patrick Cantlay, who came into the final day well-positioned to defend a FedEx Cup Playoff victory for the first time since its inception. 

You may remember Cantlay was involved in an epic six-hole playoff with Bryson DeChambeau the last time the tournament was played. 

A few interesting story lines developed over the course of the week. LIV-linked Cameron Smith withdrew on the eve of the tournament, citing a hip injury. 

Though a few sceptics suggested that his withdrawal was related to his apparent future path. 

Will Zalatoris led the FedEx Cup standings going into the BMW Championship, holding a 124-point lead over the Masters champion Scottie Scheffler. 

Unfortunately for Zalatoris, he was forced to withdraw in the third round because of a back issue. He'll face a nervous wait to find out if he's fit enough to participate in the Tour Championship at East Lake. 

Rory McIlroy was also involved in this rather hilarious exchange with a remote controlled golf ball. 

Jordan Spieth was doing Jordan Spieth things. Again.
