It was renamed as the BMW PGA Championship in 2007. Last year, Tyrrell Hatton won the title by four strokes – beating Victor Perez. The event has also taken place at the Westworth GC since 1984, with players and fans beyond comfortable with the venue.

As of now, Nick Faldo is the only player to have won the BMW PGA Championship four times. Only nine players overall have taken home a win multiple times.
