BMW PGA Championship 2026: World-Class Golf Returns to Wentworth

One of the biggest weeks in European golf is almost here, with the BMW PGA Championship returning to Wentworth Club from Thursday 17th to Sunday 20th September 2026.

The famous West Course will once again welcome some of the leading names in the game for four days of world-class tournament golf, with a field packed with Major champions, Ryder Cup stars and former winners preparing to compete for one of the most sought-after titles on the DP World Tour.

For spectators, it is also much more than four rounds of golf. Wentworth provides a festival atmosphere throughout the week, making the BMW PGA Championship one of the most popular occasions on the British sporting calendar and an outstanding setting for corporate entertaining.

A World-Class Field Heads to Wentworth

Rory McIlroy will be among the headline names returning to Surrey, with the former BMW PGA Champion looking to add another Wentworth title to his extraordinary career.

He will be joined by defending champion Alex Noren, who claimed his second BMW PGA Championship crown in dramatic fashion last year, defeating Adrien Saddier in a play-off on the West Course.

The strength of the field extends far beyond those two names.

Tommy Fleetwood, Justin Rose, Matt Fitzpatrick, Shane Lowry, Ludvig Åberg, Viktor Hovland, Robert MacIntyre, Sepp Straka and Tyrrell Hatton are all set to tee it up, while former champions Billy Horschel and Ryan Fox will also return.

Major winner Aaron Rai, Marco Penge and former World Number One and two-time Wentworth winner Luke Donald further add to a field that promises four fascinating days of golf.

With so many of Europe’s leading players competing on home soil, the leaderboard could feature some very familiar names when the tournament reaches its decisive final holes on Sunday afternoon.

More Than Just a Golf Tournament

Part of the BMW PGA Championship’s appeal is the atmosphere that surrounds the action.

The event has developed into a true Festival of Golf, combining elite sport with food, drink, entertainment and live music across Wentworth.

Tournament play begins on Thursday before the field is cut following Friday’s second round. Saturday’s famous ‘Moving Day’ then sees the contenders attempt to position themselves for a title challenge before the champion is crowned on Sunday.

There is plenty happening away from the fairways too. The Kooks are scheduled to perform following play on Saturday, while Ella Eyre will bring the tournament to a close after Sunday’s prize presentation.

Whether following a favourite player around the West Course or watching the closing stages from beside the 18th green, Wentworth offers plenty of ways to experience the action.
