The 2025 BMW PGA Championship has announced its line-up for the annual celebrity Pro-Am event, the curtain-raiser for the DP World Tour tournament that follows, with top pros grouped alongside some of the world’s most famous names.
The BMW PGA Championship is part of the Rolex Series and takes place at Wentworth starting on Thursday. But on Wednesday some of the players will tee off with a whole host of celebrities as crowds get to see some famous faces and their skills with a club in hand.
Sir Andy Murray, Gareth Bale, Michael McIntyre and Clare Balding are among those in action. Rugby players Finn Russell, Owen Farrell, Henry Pollock, Marcus Smith, Ben Earl and Jamie George are all set to take part, while Teddy Sheringham, Robbie Fowler, Joe Hart and Steph Houghton are among the football contingent.
The event will take place with a shotgun start, meaning groups will start at the same time from different tees.
Rory McIlroy comes into the professional event as the favourite after winning a dramatic Irish Open finale at the K Club over the weekend. Most of his Ryder Cup teammates such as Jon Rahm, Tommy Fleetwood, Ludvig Aberg and Tyrrell Hatton will all be in action as they tune up ahead of the showdown with Team USA in New York later this month.
