McIlroy Chases Golf History at BMW Championship

Rory McIlroy is positioning himself for a significant achievement at the BMW Championship, held at Bellerive Country Club. As a three-time FedExCup champion and the 2012 BMW Championship winner, McIlroy is vying to become the first golfer since Tiger Woods in 1997 to win both the Masters and the BMW Championship in the same year.

Earlier this year, McIlroy secured his second consecutive Masters title, a feat previously accomplished by only a select few legends. This victory marked his sixth major championship overall. His current standing at the BMW Championship places him tied for second place, demonstrating his consistent performance during the FedExCup Playoffs.

Should McIlroy emerge victorious at Bellerive, he would join an elite group, mirroring Tiger Woods' historic 1997 accomplishment. This potential win would serve as a remarkable conclusion to what has already been a standout year for the Northern Irish golfer.
