ABOUT BMW NORTH AMERICA BMW is one of the longest-standing and most actively involved partners in international golf – in the professional and amateur sectors. The company is involved as organizer or title partner in prestigious golf events on four continents. Since 2007, BMW North America has partnered with the Western Golf Association to present the BMW Championship. The event has raised over $63 million for the Evans Scholars Foundation, and BMW is proud to have helped send more than 3,300 caddies to college. On the course BMW will again reward a four-year, $125,000 Evans Scholarship if a PGA TOUR player records a hole-in-one on any hole during tournament play, Thursday - Sunday.

ABOUT THE WESTERN GOLF ASSOCIATION The Western Golf Association conducts championships for professional and amateur golfers, promotes the use of caddies and supports the Evans Scholars Foundation’s efforts to award full tuition and housing college scholarships to hardworking caddies with limited financial means. We’re a driving force in the game of golf, a respected charitable cause for tens of thousands of supporters and a distinguished leader in the nation’s golf community. The WGA began in 1899, when 11 Chicago-area golf clubs formed an organization to promote their interests in golf. It was in Golf, Illinois, where the WGA established its headquarters. At the nearby Glen View Club, the WGA held its first Western Open and Western Amateur championships to showcase the exceptional talent of golfers who called the west their home. Today, we conduct four amateur championships - the Western Amateur, Western Junior, Women’s Western Amateur and Women’s Western Junior - and two professional events - the Korn Ferry Tour’s Evans Scholar Invitational and the BMW Championship, the penultimate event of the PGA TOUR FedExCup Playoffs.

ABOUT THE EVANS SCHOLARS FOUNDATION In 1929, famed amateur golfer Charles “Chick” Evans Jr. asked the WGA to administer the fund he had established to send deserving caddies to college. The WGA awarded its first two scholarships in 1930, sending caddies Harold Fink and Jim McGinnis to Northwestern University. Until World War II, all Evans Scholars continued to attend Northwestern, and it was there that the first Scholarship House was established. As the Evans Scholars Foundation grew, WGA Directors realized the impact of Chick’s dream on the lives of young men and women with limited access to a college education. When Chick’s original investment was exhausted, the WGA Directors perpetuated the Evans Scholars Program by making contributions of their own. Today, the Foundation is funded by contributions from Par Club members across the country as well as proceeds from our championships. The Evans Scholars Program provides academic, professional and social resources that help students maintain a cumulative 3.3 GPA and 98 percent graduation rate. There were a record 1,260 Evans Scholars enrolled in 27 leading universities during the 2025-26 academic year, and more than 12,500 young men and women have graduated as Evans Scholars since 1930. Support the Evans Scholars Foundation with the ESF 50/50 Raffle, available for purchase prior to and during the BMW Championship.
