In just two weeks, all eyes in the golfing world will turn to the Ryder Cup matches in Rome. But before that, there’s a major tournament taking place: the BMW PGA Championship at the Wentworth Club in Surrey, England. As always, the competition is tough, with some of the top players in the field.
Rory McIlroy, Viktor Hovland, Matt Fitzpatrick, Tyrrell Hatton, Tommy Fleetwood, and defending champion Shane Lowry are all set to play before joining Team Europe to try and win the Cup for the fifth time in the last seven tournaments.
Here are five other players worth keeping an eye on:
Adam Scott: Scott’s career looked promising back in 2014 when he became the first Australian golfer to win the Masters Tournament and reached the world No. 1 ranking. But he hasn’t been able to replicate that success in recent years. However, he has shown glimpses of his old form, with several top 10 finishes this year. Despite his recent struggles, Scott still has the talent and experience to compete at a high level.
Ludvig Aberg: Aberg, a young Swedish golfer, has a bright future ahead of him. He recently turned professional and won the Omega European Masters in Switzerland. This impressive victory caught the attention of Ryder Cup captain Luke Donald, who named Aberg as one of his six picks for Team Europe. Aberg has also made the cut in six of his seven tour starts since turning pro.
Tom Kim: Kim, a 21-year-old golfer from South Korea, is making his debut in this tournament. He had an impressive season last year, with nine top 10 finishes, including a victory at the Shriners Children’s Open. Kim’s entertaining style of play and strong performance at a young age make him an exciting player to watch.
Jon Rahm: Rahm, currently ranked No. 3 in the world, is looking to regain his form after a disappointing performance in the playoffs. He finished outside the top 10 in the first two events and had a lackluster showing in the Tour Championship. Rahm, who held the top spot for 30 weeks, is determined to bounce back and play well in the BMW PGA Championship. He tied for second in last year’s event and has shown he can compete at the highest level.
Billy Horschel: While Horschel won’t be part of the U.S. Ryder Cup team, this tournament is still important for him. He won the BMW PGA Championship in 2021 and will be looking to defend his title. Horschel had an up-and-down season, with only three top 10 finishes. However, he showed signs of improvement with a strong performance at the Wyndham Championship. Horschel understands that golf can be a challenging game at times and is determined to bounce back.
With these talented players participating in the BMW PGA Championship, it’s sure to be an exciting and competitive event. Don’t miss out on the action!
