All eyes on Wentworth...
The flagship event on the European Tour, The BMW PGA Championship has secured a very strong field this year. The United Kingdom will be well-represented at this week’s tournament, spearheaded by World Number Eight Rory McIlroy and 2017 Race to Dubai winner Tommy Fleetwood.
McIlroy will make his first appearance at Wentworth Club since the 2015 Championship. The 2014 winner was forced to miss last year’s event due to a recurrence of a rib injury and will take on the revamped West Course for the first time.
Joining the Northern Irishman and Fleetwood will be World Number 12 Paul Casey, who won the Valspar Championship on the US PGA Tour in March, 2016 Masters champion Danny Willett, Tyrrell Hatton, Matthew Fitzpatrick and 2016 BMW PGA Championship winner Chris Wood.
The quintet of Englishmen will tee it up alongside England’s two most recent European Tour winners, Matt Wallace and Eddie Pepperell, while Andy Sullivan, Ryder Cup veteran Ian Poulter and fan-favourite Andrew ‘Beef’ Johnston will also be in the field.
