When Caves Valley Golf Club in Owings Mills last hosted the BMW Championship in 2021, fans were treated to a six-hole playoff between Patrick Cantlay and Bryson DeChambeau that Cantlay eventually won.
Baltimore County and Maryland officials hope for a similar fervor and attendance when the penultimate leg of the FedEx Playoffs returns to Caves Valley this week. Only the top 50 golfers in the FedEx standings qualified for the BMW Championship, and the field includes the World No. 1 and reigning British Open and PGA champion Scottie Scheffler, Masters winner Rory McIlroy and U.S. Open champion J.J. Spaun.
In 2021, Caves Valley welcomed more than 100,000 visitors over the nearly week-long tournament, with more than $23 million spent locally, said Abigail Vitaliano, deputy director for Baltimore County’s Department of Economic and Workforce Development. The event supported at least 450 jobs with more than $20 million in labor income, and the event generated more than $53 million in statewide economic impact, she said.
