Sources say that it is a done deal.  If that is correct the BMW Championship will return to Chicago in 2013, and Conway Farms Golf Club looks to be the host.  Conway Farms is a private, links style club in Lake Forest and holds a strong reputation amongst Chicagoans.  It is also a favorite of golf’s current #1 player in the world Luke Donald.  Luke Donald attended Northwestern and considers Conway Farms as his home course in the area.  I have never played Conway, but have heard nothing but great things.  I really hope this is going to happen because Chicago hands down deserves a PGA Tour event every year.

After the PGA decided not to return to Cog Hill for the BMW, golfers and fans were disappointed because Chicago was a staple each year for the tour.  Chicago has some of the greatest golf courses in the country and all within a convenient distance from the city.  Tour players also love coming to Chicago, I can’t blame them…it is the best city in the world, right….

I know the PGA was also considering The Glen Club, which I think has the caliber to host a PGA event, but would definitely need some work to toughen up the course.  Length is not an issue, but I feel the fairways would need to be tightened for the pros.

Chicago has the Ryder Cup coming to Medinah in September, which I personally can’t wait for, but I really want to see the BMW back here as well.   I hope these “sources” are correct……we shall see.

Tee it Up!!
