Olympia Fields has a rich championship tradition of being a tremendous test for the world's top players. Most recently, Olympia Fields has hosted the 2003 U.S. Open, won by Jim Furyk; the 2015 U.S. Amateur, won by Bryson DeChambeau; and the 2017 Women's PGA Championship, won by Danielle Kang. "Olympia Fields holds an important and unique place in the history of the Western Golf Association and in the history of golf in America," said Vince Pellegrino, WGA senior vice president of tournaments. "In addition to our WGA events, several national championships, including two U.S. Opens, have been played at Olympia Fields. We look forward to returning in 2020 to add another memorable chapter to this club's great championship history." Proceeds from the 2020 BMW Championship will benefit the Evans Scholars Foundation. Since 2007, the BMW Championship has raised more than $35 million to help the Foundation award full tuition and housing college scholarships to deserving caddies with limited financial means.
