While Shane Lowry’s victory at the 2022 BMW PGA Championship has garnered much of the attention despite late charges from players like Jon Rahm and Rory McIlroy, the LIV Golf Invitational Series’ presence at the Surrey, England venue was the topic of much of the pre-event debate.
Before play was halted on Thursday and Friday due to the passing of Queen Elizabeth II, verbal punches were tossed early in the tournament week by McIlroy, Billy Horschel, the defending champion, and Ian Poulter. A major selling factor for LIV Golf, the Greg Norman-led and Saudi Arabia-funded series that has long been attacked as a tool for the Kingdom to whitewash its record on human rights, as a result, the DP World Tour cut the competition’s length to 54 holes.
LIV Golf wished success to 15 of its competitors prior to the competition, but left out Justin Harding, who participated in the first three LIV events, and Pablo Larrazabal, who took part in LIV’s inaugural tournament in London. The top five players were represented by two players, the top 20 by six players, three players missed the cut, and one player withdrew (then wound up at the Alabama-Texas game on Saturday).
Where is the BMW PGA Championship being held?
Rory McIlroy is one of the top contenders at the BMW PGA Championship, which gets underway Thursday at the Wentworth Club in Surrey, England, after making his comeback on August 28 at the Tour Championship in Georgia.
By pulling off the biggest final-round comeback in Tour Championship history, McIlroy won his third FedEx Cup championship. At Wentworth, he will be a compelling figure, but here are five more players to keep an eye on.
At the BMW PGA Championship, is there a cut?
tournament style Following the FedEx St. Jude Championship, the top 70 PGA Tour golfers compete in the BMW Championship. There are just 70 competitors, hence there is no 36-hole cut.
Does the BMW PGA Championship have a cut?
The 2022 BMW PGA Championship will resume play on Sunday after being suspended on Thursday due to the passing of Queen Elizabeth II. With several groups still having to complete their first rounds, play will go back up on Saturday at 6:40 a.m. local time in Surrey, England (1:40 a.m. ET).
The DP World Tour issued a statement saying, “All original second round tee times will stay the same and the second round of the BMW PGA Championship will continue at 6:40 a.m. on Saturday morning.” The players who haven’t finished their first round will start doing so at 7:30 a.m. from the spot on the course where they finished on Thursday.
Instead of the usual 72 holes, the tournament, which is the biggest on the DP World Tour, will only have 54 holes.
The statement read, “The Rolex Series event will now be played over 54 holes with a goal of wrapping up on Sunday as scheduled. “Due to ongoing planning for the state funeral, we are unable to guarantee the staff, amenities, or security of the location on Monday, thus it is not possible to play the entire 72 holes and finish on that day. Flags will continue to fly at half-mast throughout the weekend at Wentworth, and black ribbons will be made available for everyone to wear.”
Because the Englishmen Andy Sullivan and Tommy Fleetwood and the Norwegian Viktor Hovland shared the lead at the end of play on Thursday, their opening rounds of 8-under 64 carry even more significance. With only 36 holes remaining, it will be more challenging for chasers to catch up to those at the top of the leaderboard.
The DP World Tour made no mention of altering the cut, therefore it should be reasonable to presume that it will happen after the first 36 holes. If they want to win the largest trophy on the DP World Tour this weekend, they will need to play immaculate golf since the leaders, Rory McIlroy and Billy Horschel, who is also the defending champion, are four shots behind them and Matt Fitzpatrick and Jon Rahm are even farther back.
How much does the BMW PGA champion receive?
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.
Out of a $8 million total prize pool, $1.36 million went to the winner outside of London. The prize money for each player who made the cut this week is listed below.
The BMW golf tournament has been canceled.
Play on Friday morning was canceled by the DP World Tour in respect for Queen Elizabeth II’s passing and the plans for her state funeral.
The BMW PGA Championship will now only consist of 54 holes after the course’s management canceled play on Friday to observe Queen Elizabath II’s passing.
When the news of the Queen’s passing broke on Thursday afternoon, the DP World Tour match at Wentworth outside of London was called off. The event will start again on Saturday morning and end on Sunday.
Due to various issues related to the state burial, the DP World Tour announced that it would not be able to play into Monday.
“According to the Official National Mourning guidelines and after consulting with the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS), the decision to resume play on Saturday has been made, according to a statement from the DP World Tour.
“Players, caddies, staff, volunteers, and spectators will have the chance to join together throughout the course of the weekend at the Wentworth event to share their condolences and to celebrate Her Majesty’s wonderful life.
“We join other sports in doing this, like the Great North Run in the north-east of England, the Men’s Test Match between England and South Africa at The Oval, and the Women’s IT20 match between England and India in County Durham.
The tournament will continue on Saturday morning with the same second-round tee schedules.
“The statement read: “Due to ongoing planning for the state funeral, we are unable to guarantee the staff, facilities, or security of the location on Monday. As a result, it is not possible to play the full 72 holes and finish on Monday.
The DP World Tour also announced that it will scale back most of the events’ weekend-long activities, including the postponement of two concerts.
After shooting 64, Viktor Hovland, Tommy Fleetwood, and Andy Sullivan are tied for the first-round lead.
