Highlights | Round 1 | BMW Championship | 2023

Check out the best shots of the day from Round 1 at the 2023 BMW Championship, featuring Rory McIlroy, Brian Harman, Rickie Fowler and Jon Rahm, among others.


The PGA TOUR heads to Olympia Fields Country Club, just outside of Chicago, for this week’s BMW Championship and the second leg of the FedExCup Playoffs. This week will determine the final 30 players eligible to compete for the TOUR Championship next week at East Lake in Atlanta. Lucas Glover will look to make it three wins in a row on the PGA TOUR after capturing both the Wyndham Championship and the FedEx St. Jude Championship last week. His recent successes have pushed him from No. 49 to No. 4 in the FedExCup standings. Patrick Cantlay returns to defend his back-to-back BMW Championship wins after last week’s playoff defeat to Lucas Glover. This was one of seven top-four finishes this season as he looks to make it a three-peat at this event. Rory McIlroy played well for his T-3 finish in Memphis last week. He’s claimed top-10 finishes in all of his last seven starts and with three FedExCup Championships to his name, he knows what is required this time of year to outlast the best players in golf. Other players to look out for are Scottie Scheffler, Jon Rahm, Viktor Hovland and Tommy Fleetwood.

A lot of shots out of order on this video. You show Mcilroy in the clubhouse at -5. Then the next clip is him hitting out of a bunker at -3, just weird.

The LPGA and the PGA must employ the same highlight reel personnel ! They show a highlight where the scoring line shows McElroy on the 18th at 5 under and then show a highlight of McElroy on the 15th at 3 under! Amazing work!!!!

I can’t bieleve Rory’s birdie on 17 that was amazing that brings back to 2019 where he hit a very similar shot where he hit a punch shot that was amazing too .

[macksimms]

Why has the pga tour not given Rickie Fowler the respect he deserves especially at the BMW there is no body hitting the greens better right now PGA get it together

[OnCourseChronicles]

That Theegala shot was absolutely crazy! I hope he does well in the tournament, because I want to see him in Georgia. Go Sahith!

[Martaaaiiin]

Some of the best shots of the year in one video.

[ATMGolfScotland]

A lot of great players right in the mix there. Hopefully still like that come Sunday!

Glover can hit the draw on point like Rahm hits the fade on point

[ostrichwayne]

Rory played so good today he had some wonderful shots and He stayed consistent and took this round one.⛳

[spetrus]

3:28 that is just a nutty shot. 262 and to land it that softly

[seankelly]

Crazy edit, all over the place and impossible to follow.

[dannybell]

Rory is something else in a world of his own when scrambling

[colnagosuper]

Thought this would be interviews. That's where golf coverage is these days

[peterharbison]

Curious why you put together these highlights out of hole order - felt like I saw Rory towards the end of his round (showing his 5 under score), then near the start of his round, then the middle ... others too ...

[johnnycashh]

Thanks for just the one Harman highlight...

[blairogden]

Theegala shot was amazing let’s go Cory connors

[southsideboy]

i was shocked to see traffic in the surrounding area was not as bad i predicted . I live in Chicago Heights the next town over

[hithere]

This should be called Rory's Highlights, you didn't show a single Fitzpatrick, Young or Scheffler shot but about 10 from Rory, nice. The first clip of Rory on 44 seconds is him on the hole 17 and you give away Fitzpatrick and Thegala round 1 score, asbolutely shocking editing. This is really the best PGA can come up with?

[ally]

Terrible order of clips, the fact the first clip for Rory at the start of the video is hole 17.... Come in guys it's not rocket science!

[Frostyiscool]

As long as mcilroy doesn’t win I’m happy
