This week sees one of the gems on the European Tour - The BMW PGA Championship, at Wentworth GC in Surrey, England. Everything about the Championship oozes class, from the superb golf played on the beautifully manicured fairways and greens of the West Course to the sumptuous hospitality units surrounding the 18th green and the ultimate spectator experience within the state-of-the art Tented Village. A trip to this leafy corner of Surrey is always special but there is a particular resonance this time round, for 2008 represents the 25th year in a row that the tournament has been played at Wentworth Club.
This will be the fourth year of BMW’s sponsorship of the Championship and to recognise that fact, alongside the 25th anniversary of the tournament at Wentworth Club itself, the 150-strong field will be competing for a record prize fund of €4,500,000, the biggest prize fund on The 2008 European Tour International Schedule outside the Major Championships and the individual World Golf Championships.
Anders Hansen will have to be playing well to defend his title from last year.
