To prepare for the BMW Championship, Aronimink – often cited for its difficulty and beauty – has restored the course to Donald Ross’ original 1928 American parkland design. The restoration included increasing the number of bunkers from 75 to 176 and restoring greens and fairways throughout the property. “The entire membership of Aronimink is pleased to host yet another world-class golf event at our club,” said Joe Fabrizio, Aronimink Golf Club president. “I am confident that fans will long remember witnessing first-hand the restoration of our golf course, the first-class amenities and what promises to be an incredible week of golf.” Other past BMW Championship winners vying to again claim the event’s historic J.K. Wadley Trophy include Jason Day, Rory McIlroy, Justin Rose and Zach Johnson. Reigning FedExCup champion Justin Thomas and major championship winners Phil Mickelson, Bubba Watson, Jordan Spieth, Patrick Reed and Francesco Molinari also are slated to compete in September at Aronimink. Proceeds from the 2018 BMW Championship will be used to fund Platt Evans Scholarships for caddies attending Penn State University and to establish a scholarship house at Penn State-University Park, where scholarship recipients will live together. Since 2007, the BMW Championship has raised more than $27 million to fund college scholarships for caddies of modest means. Justin Rose competes in the 2017 BMW Championship at Conway Farms Golf Club in Lake Forest, IL.

As the name indicates, the Club was formed by a group of young men of English descent who had played the game while students at the University of Pennsylvania. With the wish to continue to play together after their graduation, they formed the Club under the leadership of William Roach Wistar. While playing cricket on any grounds available for the first 30 years of the club’s existence, in 1883, The Club "came home" to Chestnut Hill through the generosity of a benefactor, Henry H. Houston. Houston arranged for them to settle down at The Club's present location on West Willow Grove Avenue in the St. Martin's section of Chestnut Hill. The original nine-hole course was built in 1895 and was quickly replaced by a new eighteen-hole course in 1897. When the Golf Association of Philadelphia was organized in 1897, The Club was one of four founding members alongside Aronimink Golf Club, Merion Cricket Club, and Philadelphia Country Club.

The PGA Tour purses were rapidly increasing and most of the tournaments were televised. There were concerns that there was too much golf being shown on TV. Playing the PGA Tour was a distant thought for most club pros. People were retiring earlier and more women were taking up the game so the rounds of golf were in- creasing each year. Senior golf was becoming very popular and the Phila- delphia Section was in on another first, as the Atlantic City Country Club would host the first official tournament of the new Senior PGA Tour.

  • 2019 BMW Championship Economic Impact Report Medinah Country Club Dupage County, IL the Tourism Sector of the Economy of Dupage County, Illinois, Is Powerful
    2019 BMW Championship Economic Impact Report Medinah Country Club DuPage County, IL The tourism sector of the economy of DuPage County, Illinois, is powerful. For nearly 100 years, DuPage has regularly played host to nationally recognized events and championships across many disciplines of sport. This tradition, supported by numerous positive destination tourism attributes and the second-largest base of hotel inventory outside of the Central Business District of Chicago, contributed to DuPage attracting $2 .72 billion in visitor travel expenditures in 2018. Over the last five years, increases in key performance indicators – spending, tax revenue, and jobs – represent a savings of approximately $1,300 per year in taxes for the average DuPage County household, according to the Illinois Office of Tourism.
