60 sourcesUpdated Aug 23, 2026

Wyndham Clark won the BMW Championship at Bellerive, finishing 17-under to claim his third win of the season. He entered Sunday with a five-shot lead, weathered an early bogey-laden stretch, and closed with a late burst of birdies to seal the title. Clark finished four strokes ahead of Rory McIlroy and three ahead of Patrick Cantlay, who mounted a late rally but could not catch him. Cantlay and McIlroy traded late momentum, with McIlroy birdying the final four holes and Cantlay posting a 66 after a strong back nine. The victory strengthens Clark’s standing in the FedEx Cup and cements him as one of the tour’s top performers this season.

LIV Golf faces a fragile funding outlook after the PIF announced it will withdraw support at season’s end, even as the league works toward a 2.0 version with a new lead investor and a slimmer schedule. Ian Poulter warns there is a hard Sept. 1 deadline to raise about $300 million, highlighting precarious futures for players who must choose between LIV’s path, the DP World Tour, or the PGA Tour as negotiations continue and some LIV events are canceled or scaled back.
