The European Tour’s flagship event looks set to be blessed by good weather
The European Tour’s flagship event looks set to be played in mainly warm, dry conditions.
This is good news for both the top-class field competing and the bumper crowd expected - advance ticket sales running at their highest level ever, the organisers have had to provide extra capacity for spectators.
Nine Major champions will be teeing it up on Thursday on Wentworth’s West Course in Virginia Water in Surrey - Rory McIlroy, Justin Rose, Ernie Els, Martin Kaymer, Graeme McDowell, Paul Lawrie, Padraig Harrington, Darren Clarke and YE Yang.
All but three of last year’s winning European Ryder Cup team will be competing.
Here is the weather forecast for BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth this week, courtesy of The Weather Network:
Overall: It is looking largely dry for this year’s PGA Championship at Wentworth Club in Surrey with just the small chance of an isolated shower this weekend.
