2025 BMW Championship: Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy headline opening pairings
2025 BMW Championship: Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy headline opening pairings
The BMW Championship gets going on Thursday and we now know who is going to be playing with who when all of the action gets underway.
The PGA Tour announced opening pairings for the Tour’s next playoff event and the headliner is right in the middle of the graphic.
You are not misreading. Golf fans will be treated to a pairing of Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy, the two best golfers in the world and winners of three of this season’s majors between them, for at the very least the opening two rounds. Obviously there are a lot of factors between now and then, but we could be looking at two players who could be sharing the course in a month at the Ryder Cup as well.
Part of what is awesome about the FedExCup Playoffs is seeing pairings like this. Fans want to be treated to battles of the very best and getting a Scheffler/McIlroy combo for two guaranteed days is a huge win.
It was low-hanging fruit to say the least, but kudos to whoever made this happen.

Wyc Grousbeck will not remain as governor of the Boston Celtics following the completion of their $6.1 billion sale to Bill Chisholm. Grousbeck was initially expected to remain on governor through 2028, however he will remain as CEO.
The sale of the Celtics is expected to be complete within the next week as Chisholm becomes governor.
Bill Chisholm and his wife, Kimberly Ford Chisholm, are taking a hands-on approach within the Boston community as they begin their ownership.
The Grousbeck family purchased the Celtics in 2002 for $360 million with the franchise being put up for sale in July 2024 after they won their 18th NBA championship. The sale to Chisholm was announced in March 2025.

Jazz Likely To Keep Georges Niang
Jazz Likely To Keep Georges Niang
The Utah Jazz acquired Georges Niang in a trade with the Boston Celtics last week. Niang’s second stint in Utah doesn’t appear to be setup to be a short one.
Niang previously played for the Jazz for four seasons from 2017 through 2021. Since then, he’s played for the Philadelphia 76ers, Cleveland Cavaliers and Atlanta Hawks. Niang was acquired by Boston in a salary-clearing move that sent Kristaps Porzingis to the Hawks. The Celtics then further shed salary by sending Niang to Utah.
The Jazz sent two-way player R.J. Luis in the deal. Utah also acquired two future second-round picks for taking on Niang’s contract.
The Jazz have acquired several big men this summer to put around their young team. Utah also traded for Jusuf Nurkic, Kyle Anderson and Kevin Love this offseason. Love and the Jazz have reportedly discussed a buyout that would allow the veteran big man to join a contender for next season.
