Rain washes out opening events of BMW Championship week

Posted: Updated:

The Celebrity Shootout and Corporate Cup, the first official events of BMW Championship week, will not be held on Monday, Sept.3, and the host club – Crooked Stick Golf Club, Carmel, Ind. – will be closed, Western Golf Association tournament officials have announced.

Officials cited rain as the reason for the cancellations.

While the Celebrity Shootout will not be rescheduled, Monday practice round tickets will be honored on Tuesday or Wednesday of tournament week.

Cameras are allowed on the course Tuesday and Wednesday only. 

"While we're unable to move the Celebrity Shootout to another date, we encourage ticket holders to come to the course on Tuesday or Wednesday to see the TOUR's best up close and in action," said Vince Pellegrino, WGA's vice president of tournaments. "We apologize for any inconvenience canceling the Celebrity Shootout may have caused for our patrons."
