The PGA Tour's FedEx Cup Playoffs, the BMW Championship tees off this September. The tour's hottest hitters will be on hand, each gunning for this coveted late-season title.

After a one-year hiatus, due to the renovation project, 70 of the world's best golfers will return Sept 7-13, to contest the 2009 BMW Championship. The tournament is the third in the four-event FedExCup series.

Cog Hill Golf and Country Club is located some 30 miles southwest of downtown Chicago in the Des Plaines River Valley. There are four courses at Cog Hill but the one most golfers want to play is the world-renowned No.4 course, otherwise known as “Dubsdread”.

In 2007 The Western Open is sponsored by BMW and will be officially known as the BMW Championship. In 2008, Rees Jones, golf course architect was selected for the comprehensive renovation project, the first since Dubsdread's opening in 1964.

Each Tee Complex Was Reshaped And Restructured

The tee complex of each hole was also completely reshaped and rebuilt. Each hole has multiple, square tee pads, strategically placed at varied yardages and angles of play to improve alignment and linksall playability.

All 98 Bunkers Were Rebuilt

Along with the greens, significant bunker improvements were completed. Every bunker has been completely reshaped and reconstructed to improve visual definition, enhance sight lines and create a more classic design style.

Several of the original bunkers were relocated to stay in line with the modern game, restoring the original strategic design intent. Greenside bunkers were repositioned and tucked closer to the greens to more effectively protect designated cupping areas within each putting surface. Although most bunkers were also deepened, their unique grass "fingers" and "noses" continue to provide golfers with walkouts.
