The 2024 BMW PGA Championship (September 19–22, 2024, Wentworth Club, Surrey, England) marks a significant milestone, as BMW celebrates its 20th year as title partner of the DP World Tour’s flagship event.
The championship dates back to 1955, originally known as the British PGA Championship, before coming under BMW’s stewardship in 2005. Since then, the tournament has gone from strength to strength, evolving into a ‘Festival of Golf’ with its star-studded Pro-Am lineups, Championship Village, and live concerts from world-renowned artists. The 20th BMW PGA Championship closely follows the 35th BMW International Open, and further cements the brand’s commitment to international golf.
Aside from a formidable list of champions, the tournament’s most prominent legacy is its deeply rooted connection to charity, supporting many deserving causes over its 20-year history. Its most recent beneficiary is the Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM), who strive to change the conversation around mental health and suicide. Since 2022, more than £150,000 (approx. $198,000.00 USD) has been raised for CALM, which will remain the official charity partner for a third consecutive year.
Expect fierce competition, another star-studded Pro-Am and a Championship Village filled with BMW’s latest and greatest models, including the all-new third-generation BMW M5 Touring, which makes its UK premiere at Wentworth.
