BMW Championship Strategy & Key Shots | GOLFTEC on Golf Channel Copy

Description

In this Golf Channel segment, a GOLFTEC coach breaks down key strategic elements of Hole 18 at Caves Valley Golf Club ahead of the BMW Championship . The discussion focuses on how players approach scoring opportunities, manage risk off the tee, and position themselves for success on a course designed to reward smart decision-making.

  • The 18th hole at Caves Valley Golf Club, host of the BMW Championship, has the potential to be a decisive finishing hole late in the tournament.
  • At just 300 yards, the hole appears short, but the extremely narrow fairway makes tee-shot strategy critical.
  • Players protecting a lead are likely to choose a conservative line, aiming between the two fairway bunkers and hitting a fairway wood for control.
  • Golfers who need a birdie are forced into a more aggressive play with driver, despite the very tight landing area.
  • This hole perfectly illustrates the risk-versus-reward decision-making that can swing a tournament, where aggression can lead to birdie—or quickly result in bunkers or water.
