The J.K. Wadley Trophy.

The BMW Championship winner will be presented the J.K. Wadley Trophy at the conclusion of the championship. His name is engraved on the sterling silver cup that has been awarded to the champion since it was donated in 1923 by J.K. Wadley. The trophy is on permanent display at Western Golf Association headquarters in Golf, Illinois. The champion also will receive a replica of the trophy.

A native of Texarkana, Ark., Wadley was a successful businessman in both the oil and lumber industries, who, at the age of 40, turned his attention to golf. He learned to play golf from two-time Western Open champion Jim Barnes (1917, 1919) and served as a Western Golf Association director from 1921-1924.
