Here's what's happening this weekend in Denver

This weekend, watch some of the world's best golfers, get all the barbecue you can eat or celebrate Japanese culture at a new three-day event.

1. ⛳️ BMW Championship

Watch Denver native Wyndham Clark and 49 of the world's top golfers compete for $20 million in the BMW Championship at Castle Pines Golf Club .

Why it matters: It's the first PGA Tour event Colorado has hosted in a decade.

Zoom in: Olympic gold medalist Scottie Scheffler leads the betting odds to win, but Clark, ranked fifth on the tour, might have an altitude-based edge .

What to expect: Test your putting skills near the 11th green and grab bites from local restaurants including Dos Gringos, the Simply Pizza Truck, Farm to Truck and Tom's Coffee.

If you go: The course can be a challenge to walk, so wear comfortable shoes.
