The DP World Tour’s flagship event, the BMW PGA Championship, gets underway at Wentworth later this week.
As well as attracting some of the biggest names in the game, with a stronger field than the PGA Tour’s Procore Championship, the Celebrity Pro-Am is also filled with high-profile stars, including many from the worlds of sport and entertainment.
The Celebrity Pro-Am takes place the day before the first round of the tournament, on Wednesday, September 10th.
There, sports stars including British tennis legend Sir Andy Murray, former Real Madrid footballer Gareth Bale, England cricket captain Ben Stokes and F1 star Lando Norris will all appear along with other big names such as comedian Michael McIntyre and actress Kathryn Newton.

Morning groups begin at 8.00am BST in a shotgun start with Billy Horschel, who won last year’s BMW PGA Championship, playing alongside Bale, Murray and former England soccer star Teddy Sheringham.
Another standout group in the morning session sees LIV Golfer Brooks Koepka tee it up with two more ex-England soccer players, Robbie Fowler and John Terry, along with former field hockey player-turned-television presenter Sam Quek.
The afternoon groups begin at 1.30pm BST, again in a shotgun start, which includes Viktor Hovland grouped with golf content creators Peter Finch, Mac Boucher and Ellie Skoog.
While many of the biggest names in the field are competing in the Celebrity Pro-Am, it’s worth noting that one player who won’t be involved is Rory McIlroy, who has a prior commitment.
Below are the tee times and starting holes for Wednesday’s BMW PGA Championship Celebrity Pro-Am at Wentworth.
