The DP World tour has made its way back into the fans’ favorite leagues with the BMW PGA Championship. The event is going on at Wentworth, England, and will be played till 11th September 2022. The field is full of well-known players from both competing tours. The latest FedEx Cup champion, Rory McIlroy, is playing his best shots at the tournament this year. The Irish professional golfer is hoping to win the event after becoming a candidate for the PGA Tour Player of the Year category.

Next on the field is Former World No.1, Jon Rahm, followed by US Open champion, Matt Fitzpatrick. Both European golfers will appear in the event alongside Norwegian pro-golfer, Viktor Hovland. The field includes 13 players from the world’s 50 highest-ranked players according to the OWGR.

The only differentiation that the LIV golf players faced at the BMW PGA Championship were that they weren’t allowed to play at the Pro-Am. In reaction to the ongoing conditions, a fellow golfer from the LIV Golf tour, Martin Kaymer, withdrew from the tournament. He said, “I don’t need to go to a place where, feel-wise, you’re not that welcome.”
