Rory McIlroy, Jon Rahm and Tommy Fleetwood confirmed for Wentworth in 2026

The 2026 BMW PGA Championship has assembled an exceptional field for Wentworth, with Rory McIlroy among the leading names confirmed to compete on the West Course.

McIlroy, who won the BMW PGA Championship in 2014, will be joined by two-time Major Champion Jon Rahm and English favourite Tommy Fleetwood.

Justin Rose, Matt Fitzpatrick and Shane Lowry add further Major Championship pedigree to the field, while Tyrrell Hatton, Viktor Hovland, Robert MacIntyre and Ludvig Åberg are also confirmed to tee it up at Wentworth.

Defending champion Alex Noren returns looking to retain his crown, with two-time BMW PGA Champion Billy Horschel also heading back to Surrey. The strength of the field gives spectators the opportunity to watch some of Europe’s most recognisable golfers compete across one of the DP World Tour’s best-known courses.

Noren secured his second BMW PGA Championship title in 2025 following a dramatic finish against Adrien Saddier. After the pair finished level following the final round, the championship was decided in a play-off, where Noren made birdie on the first extra hole to seal victory.

About the BMW PGA Championship

The illustrious BMW PGA Championship was founded in 1955 by the Professional Golfers’ Association. Originally named the British PGA Championship, the famed tournament has since been the subject of several high-profile sponsorship deals.

The competition has seen numerous notable champions, with the most recent winner being Alex Noren. He claimed victory in a thrilling play-off, edging out runner-up Adrien Saddier thanks to an impressive birdie on the par-5 18th hole. This triumph also propels Noren into the top 20 of the world rankings.

After both had closed for 4 under 68, they continued to compete for the win in the final hour on Sunday afternoon. On the 14th hole, Noren got par, whilst his French counterpart was able to draw level again thanks to a spectacular 8-foot birdie. They both got pars in the 15th and 16th holes at Wentworth.

After being tied at the 18th, they went into the play-off, where Noren finally claimed his victory thanks to that aforementioned sensational birdie.

The BMW PGA Championship has a rich history of distinguished winners, including Ryan Fox, Tyrrell Hatton, Danny Willett, former world No. 1 Nick Faldo, Bernhard Langer, Severiano Ballesteros, Ian Woosnam, José María Olazábal, and Billy Horschel. Colin Montgomerie famously became the only player to win three consecutive titles in 2000, while former world No. 1 Luke Donald achieved back-to-back victories in 2011 and 2012.

The 2024 champion, Billy Horschel, returned to defend his title at Wentworth in the 2025 edition, aiming for a third BMW PGA triumph. On this occasion, however, it was Alex Noren who claimed the victory. The tournament also featured a star-studded field, including 2014 champion Rory McIlroy, who was part of Team Europe for the 2025 Ryder Cup, adding further prestige to an already competitive event.

The aforementioned Noren is a past winner of this Championship at Wentworth, having won it in 2017, when he got the better of his nearest competitor, Italy’s Francesco Molinari, by 2 strokes at 11 under par. All eyes will be on if he will be defending his title at Wentworth in 2026.

The contest traditionally commenced in May each year at the West Course of Wentworth Golf Club in Virginia Water, Surrey, on the south-western fringes of London, not far from Windsor Castle. However, this was then moved to September after the US PGA recommenced the BMW PGA moved to a later date.

The PGA European Tour is headquartered at Wentworth Golf Club, and, as the tour’s home tournament, it is widely considered one of the leading social and sporting events on the calendar. The winner of the Championship is given an exemption from the season’s upcoming U.S. Open and the subsequent Open Championships.

The club is owned by the Beijing-based Reignwood Group, which purchased the famed premises in 2014. But Wentworth Golf Club can be traced back to the 19th-century house, the “Wentworths” (now the dedicated clubhouse), then home to the brother-in-law of the Duke of Wellington.

Wentworth’s rich heritage is a tribute to the unequivocal talent and vision of several generations of extraordinary men and women.

Were it not for developer Walter George Tarrant and golf course architect Harry Colt, Wentworth would not exist today. Tarrant saw the site’s development potential and possessed the skills and business acumen to make his vision a reality. Meanwhile, Colt was tasked with creating two fully-fledged golf courses in the wooded, heathland setting, first the East and three years later the West.

Today, Wentworth Golf Club offers a fantastic range of facilities, from three 18-hole golf courses to a one-nine-hole Par 3 executive course. Extensive practice facilities and a bespoke TaylorMade Performance Lab also prominently feature at this venerable setting.

For golf hospitality lovers, the clubhouse boasts several restaurants, bars, as well as private meeting and dining rooms for up to 300 guests. The Ballroom hospitality facility is a premium option, with a private entrance directly into the iconic Clubhouse, a three-course lunch and a cash bar for Champagne and spirits.

One of our most popular hospitality facilities is the Green on 18, offering excellent views of Wentworth Golf Club and a greenside terrace overlooking the final hole, which was new for last season. Take advantage of the complimentary bar and indulge in afternoon tea following a three-course luncheon.

Its extensive Tennis & Health Club features 13 tennis courts, a multi-sport area, a children’s playground, a creche, gym, studio, two indoor and one outdoor swimming pool, café, lounge, and a spa with seven treatment rooms.

There is certainly something for everyone to enjoy.

The Ryder Cup also boasts links to the distinguished Club. The Roaring 20s were in full swing when Walter Hagen claimed he was bringing “the most powerful team whoever left New York” over to Wentworth for a team match between British and American professionals.

Hagen’s team took a beating that day, but the result of the 1926 encounter was immaterial. The occasion saw such resounding success that Samuel Ryder, who provided the trophy, stated his intent on making the fixture permanent. Hence, the Ryder Cup was born.

When it returned to Wentworth in 1953, it was the Americans who triumphed despite their star player, Ben Hogan, being absent from the play. The Ryder Cup has been instrumental in placing Wentworth on the global map of tournament golf; it proudly remains there to this day.

The BMW PGA Championship offers the chance to combine great golf with first-class hospitality, providing a superb overall experience.

Make it a fabulous day to remember with our BMW PGA Championship hospitality packages.
