The countdown to the Ryder Cup is on, but it’s a big week on the DP World Tour, as the lucrative Rolex Series returns.

With it comes the 2023 BMW PGA Championship, a common spot for the world’s best players who have made the flagship event a priority.

Team Europe headlines the star-studded field as Luke Donald will compete alongside all 12 of his team that will face the United States later in the month.

Jon Rahm and Rory McIlroy fell one shot sort in their bid to lift the prestigious trophy last year, as Shane Lowry conquered Wentworth.

Before the world-class field struts its stuff, the hugely popular pro-am will return, with the likes of Gareth Bale and Tom Holland set to tee it up.

The bunkered bet

Min Woo Lee 28/1

The popular Aussie has plenty going for him this week and hasn’t missed a cut since May. While he only finished T42 at Wentworth last year, that included a 62 on Friday, and he’ll be confident after being in contention at the Irish Open last week. Having played well on similar setups in Dubai and in strong fields, Min Woo Lee can make his presence known.
