Sunday’s forecast calls for a 100-percent chance of rain and temperatures around 60 degrees with gusts up to 20 mph. Monday’s forecast calls for rain, too.
PGA Tour officials are making every attempt to finish 72 holes by Sunday night. The BMW marks the end of a three-week stretch of high-pressure golf, and next week is the only off week for players before the Tour Championship and Ryder Cup. The potential for a Monday finish would cut into players’ recovery period.
