The BMW PGA Championship is on Thursday, September 19, at the Wentworth Club in Surrey, England. With the PGA Tour taking a break, all eyes will be on this stacked event. Rory McIlroy leads the field with odds currently set at +550.
The BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth is listed as a Par 72 spanning a little over 7,260 yards. Many golfers have great success here, but it is difficult to play. While there are going to be some high scores, do not expect golfers to get up in the 20s.
The course is tight with plenty of trees to provide coverage. The greens can be fairly difficult to read at times due to their slopes and shape, as well as the bentgrass/poa annua combination to make them faster when putting.
This event might be best to take a look at golfers who have great momentum coming into this one. In addition, checking out golfers that have played well here before would also be a great indicator.
Plenty of golfers to look through when making your betting picks. Lucky for you, you can check out below to see which golfers stand out.
It is hard to pass up on McIlroy, who is currently ranked as the second-best golfer in the DP World Tour rankings. He won this event back in 2014 (with Shane Lowry as runner-up), so he can definitely win at any time again.
He is coming off of a second-place finish at the Irish Open. Over his last three starts, he has finished T11 or better, which makes him an appealing prospect to watch.
Horschel found success in 2021 here with a final score of -19. In fact, he was tied for third and trailed by two strokes heading into the final day of play.
His most recent event was a T23 at the Tour Championship, marking his second consecutive top-20 finish. He has landed in the top 10 three times since July, which shows good consistency.
MyBookie has the best DP World Tour betting odds for the BMW PGA Championship, with Rory McIlroy favored to win. However, there is one golfer who has an appealing resume coming into this event.
Shane Lowry won this event back in 2022, where he trailed by two strokes heading into the final round of action. In fact, he won with a final score of -18, and the event only went to a 54-hole tournament.
Lowry's last three events prior to this have been T13, T9, and T12. He will have to prove he can win in this tough field once again, but he has an excellent shot at success with previous experience and great momentum.
