Rory McIlroy will once again tee it up at the BMW PGA Championship from September 17-22 2024, and tickets to see the four-time Major winner at Wentworth Club are on sale here.
The reigning Race to Dubai champion opened his 2024 season with a successful Rolex Series title defence in Dubai, and the Northern Irishman is aiming to further enhance his impressive BMW PGA Championship record.

With a victory in 2014 and five further top tens – including two runner-up finishes – to his name, the World Number Two will join fellow past champions Ryan Fox, Shane Lowry and Billy Horschel at the iconic Surrey venue this September.
Following a final round 65 to finish in a share of seventh place last season, the 34-year-old went on to inspire Team Europe to a famous 16.5 – 11.5 victory over Team USA at Marco Simone Golf & Country Club, delivering four from a possible five points.
McIlroy then ended the year on top of the Race to Dubai Rankings in Partnership with Rolex for the fifth time to once again be crowned European Number One.
Rory McIlroy: “I’ve always enjoyed playing at the BMW PGA Championship”
“I’ve always enjoyed playing at the BMW PGA Championship, and I’ve had some great results round the West Course in the past,” said the four-time Major Champion. “Wentworth is a place where I would like to add another title.”
The BMW PGA Championship Festival of Golf takes place just outside central London, attracting more than 100,000 spectators each year, with the world class action inside the ropes set to be complemented by live entertainment on the Showstage, and an unrivalled atmosphere in the vibrant Spectator Village.
The G4D TOUR @ BMW PGA Championship will take place at the start of the week, with some of the best golfers with a disability competing for the penultimate G4D Tour title on the iconic West Course on Monday September 16 and Tuesday September 17.
