Here, we take a look ahead at the action to come at the much anticipated tournament that gets underway this week at Wentworth. PGA Championship at Wentworth.

The eyes of the world of golf will be on the famous Wentworth Golf Club this week, with the 2025 BMW PGA Championship set to begin this week, with the enthralling action coming to a close on Sunday, 14th September, where the latest winner of this highly prestigious tournament will be crowned.

The reigning Champion is, of course, Billy Horschel, who defeated runners-up Thriston Lawrence and Rory McIlroy via play-off in what had been a pulsating few days of action. This was a second triumph for Horschel, whose maiden triumph came just a few years before in 2021. The American is returning to defend his crown, but he will be facing some stern competition to realise this ambition at this year’s Championship.

One of the players looking to challenge him for the title at the 2025 BMW PGA Championship is, of course, the aforementioned Rory McIlroy. Not only is he the reigning champion of The Masters, but he also recently won the Amgen Irish Open in dramatic fashion after he managed to get the better of runner-up Joakim Lagergren via a play-off in the end.

After he eagled the 18th hole to finish on 17 under par to complete a sensational comeback, he then went on to secure his win with a birdie at the third extra hole to get the better of his Swedish counterpart.

Rory is a previous winner of this tournament, having come out on top back in 2014 when he defeated runner-up Shane Lowry by just one stroke in the end. He will be looking to add to his vast collection of trophies at Wentworth this week.
