Rory McIlroy’s recent standout performance sets the stage for September as the DP World Tour returns to Wentworth for its premier event: the BMW PGA Championship.
It’s been a decade since Keith Pelley claimed that the DP World Tour Championship in Dubai overshadowed the BMW PGA. Now, we see the latter proving its worth by attracting a stellar field this year.
Although some top American golfers are in California, stars like Hideki Matsuyama and Adam Scott join Europe’s finest. With nearly the entire Ryder Cup team present, the tournament promises excitement, though weather forecasts might pose a challenge.
McIlroy and Jon Rahm are considered co-favorites, which raises eyebrows given McIlroy’s consistent success this season, including four wins compared to Rahm’s none. McIlroy’s familiarity and previous successes at Wentworth might elevate his chances for consecutive victories.
My leading pick is VIKTOR HOVLAND, who has shown promise this year despite some frustrations. He impressed at similar courses, excelling in iron play, which is crucial at Wentworth where strategy often outweighs raw power.
Hovland has proven to be effective at Wentworth, finishing fifth in his last two visits, and with recent strong performances, he appears poised for another great run. His improvements in iron play and accuracy off the tee may lead to a favorable outcome.
Another noteworthy contender is AARON RAI, who, despite narrowly missing a Ryder Cup spot, has shown consistent form on the PGA Tour. His course history at Wentworth, including a runner-up finish, indicates he could once again be a top competitor.
As for RASMUS HOJGAARD, he signifies the new wave of talent, showcasing impressive performances under pressure. His overall game has been strong, making him a contender worth betting on at Wentworth.
Lastly, MATTEO MANASSERO, once a top player, seems to have found his form again. His past successes at Wentworth, combined with recent strong play, make him an attractive choice for those looking for long odds in this event.
With the potential for an exciting tournament and top players vying for the championship, the BMW PGA promises to be a thrilling occasion for fans and bettors alike.
