The BMW Championship is the third of four FedExCup Playoff events, and features a field of 70 players who survive elimination in the first two Playoff tournaments. The top 30 players in the FedExCup point standings after the BMW Championship will move on to the TOUR Championship, where the FedExCup winner earns $10 million in prize money. "We're very excited to have an opportunity to once again host the BMW Championship in 2015," said Bruce Keith, Conway Farms president. "We're looking forward to another week of hosting the best golfers in the world at Conway Farms Golf Club and continuing our partnership with the Western Golf Association in support of the Evans Scholars Foundation." Conway Farms, an 18-hole Tom Fazio design, has hosted a number of top amateur tournaments since opening in 1991, including the 2009 Western Amateur Championship, which is also conducted by the WGA, and the 1998 U.S. Junior Amateur Championship. "The BMW Championship offers a variety of ticket options and hospitality packages for individuals and businesses," said Pellegrino. "With an elite field and venue like Conway Farms, we anticipate high demand." In addition to daily tickets and weekly badges, several all-inclusive ticket packages also are available. All children 16 years and younger will receive complimentary admission with a ticketed adult. 5-time champion Tiger Woods (1997, 1999, 2003, 2007, 2009)
