The PGA Tour is off this week, so many top-ranked players head overseas for the BMW PGA Championship. Last week, the Irish Open provided some incredible golf, and Rory McIlroy collapsed on another big stage. Rasmus Hojgaard won over the veteran golfer, and it was wild.
Nine of the 12 European Ryder Cup members will play at the historic Wentworth Club in England this week. Ludvig Åberg will not be in the field this week after he had surgery on his knee earlier this fall.
Justin Rose, McIlroy, Tommy Fleetwood, and Shane Lowry are just a handful of star-studded names in the field. Will McIlroy redeem himself after another heartbreak in Ireland, or will it be someone else who emerges on top Sunday?
Here is the one-stop shop for all things BMW PGA Championship.
