Wentworth Club Map & Parking

The BMW PGA Championship was founded in 1955 as the British PGA Championship before being sponsored by the German automaker BMW in 2007.

For decades, the tournament has been held annually at the iconic Wentworth Club in Surrey, England, with the club's renowned West Course serving as the venue. The BMW PGA is considered one of the premier events on the DP World Tour calendar, offering 64 world ranking points to the winner - the most of any tournament on the tour.

In 2021, American Billy Horschel became only the second player from the States to win the event, after Arnold Palmer's victory in 1975. In 2019, the tournament was moved from its traditional May slot to September as part of a revamp of the golfing calendar.

There are over 60 bunkers placed throughout the West Course. Water hazards also come into play on several holes, including the par 3 8th and 17th holes, which share a large lake.
