Who won Sunday’s BMW Golf Championship?
After winning the BMW PGA Championship at the Wentworth Golf Club in Virginia Water, England, Shane Lowry celebrates with the trophy.
Shane Lowry’s thrilling victory at the BMW PGA Championship on Sunday put an end to his three-year winless streak.
At Wentworth, the Irishman edged off longtime friends Rory McIlroy and Jon Rahm by one shot to win his first championship since the 2019 Open Championship in July.
The 35-year-old carded a bogey-free 17-under over the championship’s amended 54 holes, which was reduced from the traditional 72 holes after Friday’s second round was postponed due to the passing of Queen Elizabeth II. This victory was his sixth on the DP World Tour.
Lowry entered Sunday two strokes off the lead after shooting a six-under 66 and a 68 in the first two days, but his final round erupted with an eagle at the fourth hole.
Rahm, the 2021 US Open champion, had set the clubhouse target at 16-under after shooting a joint-event best 62, and Lowry tied him with a fourth birdie on the 12th hole.
With McIlroy right behind him, Lowry needed to birdie the last hole to avoid a playoff with Rahm after a steady run of five consecutive pars. The Irishman made it a hat-trick to put himself within striking distance of the championship after birdying the 18th on each of the first two rounds.
The Northern Irishman needed to make an eagle on the par-five 18th hole to force a playoff, and he came agonizingly close to doing so. The newly minted PGA Tour Championship champion reached the green in just two strokes, but his 23-foot eagle putt fell just inches short of claiming victory for Lowry.
Lowry told reporters, “I am extremely happy. “To win on this tour, or any tour, is so difficult. Some of the top players in the world are attempting to catch up with you.
“I believed that I was capable of winning all year long, but I thought that I lacked the breaks necessary to triumph in competitions.
“I’m simply extremely glad and thankful that I was able to win this event as well. I don’t think I like to do things lightly, so it’s good to have this on my résumé as well.”
The BMW Championship is currently where?
The 2020 BMW Championship has already taken place at Chicago’s Olympia Fields Country Club. The winner of the playoff between Dustin Johnson (USA) and Jon Rahm (Spain) at the event’s final hole made one of the most stunning putts in tournament history. It was really too bad that spectators couldn’t see this because of the Coronavirus outbreak. Things will likely change in 2023. The U.S. Open in 2003, the U.S. Amateur in 2015, and the Women’s PGA Championship in 2017 were all held at Olympia Fields. The renowned “North Course” at Olympia Fields, created by Willie Park Jr. in 1923, will host the BMW Championship.

On Sunday, two Irishmen engaged in a duel to the finish of the BMW PGA Championship in England’s Wentworth. Shane Lowry emerged victorious, defeating Rory McIlroy by one stroke.
Due to the passing of Queen Elizabeth II on Thursday, the DP World Tour’s premier tournament had to be cut to 54 holes. On Sunday, Lowry came back with a seven-under-par 65. He had no bogeys and seven birdies, including a four on the final par-five hole. On the 18th hole, McIlroy (67) had a chance to tie but missed his eagle putt.
Jon Rahm and Rory McIlroy played early and achieved a 10-under 62, which included two eagles, for a total of 17 under, one shot better than Lowry. American Talor Gooch, who has switched allegiances to LIV Golf, finished the round with a 67 and alone in fourth place.

Robert MacIntyre of Scotland won the Italian Open after defeating Matt Fitzpatrick of England on the first play-off hole in the DP World Tour competition.
Prior to US Open champion Fitzpatrick birdying the 18th hole to force a play-off, MacIntyre posted a score of 14 under thanks to a remarkable 10 birdies in the final round of 64.
After a bad tee shot, the Englishman was only able to par the opening play-off hole, which gave MacIntyre the victory.
The triumph denied Fitzpatrick a second tour victory of the year and is MacIntyre’s second DP World Tour triumph overall.
The victory is also MacIntyre’s first in 48 tournaments, and the Scot is aiming for a spot on the 2023 Ryder Cup team at the same location, the Marco Simone Golf and Country Club in Guidonia Montecelio outside of Rome.

What does the caddy for Rory McIlroy make?
McIlroy is undoubtedly one of the sexiest men in the world. According to reports, the four-time major champion gave Fitzgerald 10% of the $9 million he received that day from his FedEx Cup bonus in 2016 and 10% from the Tour Championship earnings. Whatever percentage Diamond is on, he will be earning significantly more than many players given that McIlroy earned $2.25 for his Players victory in 2019 and that his PGA Tour earnings vary from $4–7 million annually. They are best friends, which is a lovely perk, so you could expect that there are lots of extra benefits to go with the private jets and lavish lifestyle.
Sam has played golf for most of his life and got into the sport to show his father and two brothers who was the best player.
He immediately established himself as an authority on golf equipment, has always been the person family and friends turn to for purchasing guidance, and spends a lot of time putting golf equipment, clothing, and shoes to the test.
Sam, a master of all trades who worked in both print and digital media, now spends the majority of his time testing and managing the website’s golf equipment material. He is also in charge of all player content for the Tour.
Unfortunately, Sam is not now a member of any clubs, but he still plays golf frequently to maintain the appearance that he has a five handicap.
What kind of pay is a PGA caddy?
Over the weekend, the world’s best golfers participated in the PGA Championship at Kiawah Island’s Ocean Course.
The competition featured one of the most star-studded fields in all of golf, and those who made the cut would share a $12 million reward. The $2.16 million winner’s share went to Phil Mickelson, who finished the tournament with four outstanding rounds.
However, it’s not just the golfers who have a lot on the line this weekend; the caddies who carry their bags, assist in reading the greens, and maintain the pace of a round also have a lot to lose.
PGA Tour caddies all have their own contracts with their respective golfers, as former PGA Tour caddie Michael Collins revealed on his ESPN+ show, “America’s Caddy.” However, there are a few universal guidelines that hold true in all situations.
Collins joked in an animated video during his show that “every caddy gets a weekly payday, no matter where his player finishes.” “Even if the player misses the cut, the caddie still needs to get paid because the caddie covers all of his own expenses, including travel, lodging, transportation, and meals.”
According to Collins, “the standard is 10-7-5 — 10% for a win, 7% for a top 10, and 5% for everything else” if the player makes the cut.
Phil’s earnings of $2.16 million indicate that Tim, Phil’s brother, will probably receive a $216,000 compensation as his caddy.
Caddies also receive a weekly salary that is agreed with their player, as Collins noted. Caddies’ weekly wages can range from $1,500 to $3,000. However, some caddies choose to accept a lesser winnings percentage in exchange for a larger weekly salary. Collins stated that “no caddie and player has the same agreement.” Everyone engages in self-negotiation.
