The BMW PGA Championship is the DP World Tour’s flagship Rolex Series Event.
What does that mean to EGD? Answer: TEAMWORK.
Originally designed by Harry Colt, the West Course has changed several times over the years, and it would be fair to say that a lot of those changes did not meet the approval of either the Members or Players. As a result, plans were put into place to renovate the course during the summer of 2016 to reintroduce style, strategy and enjoyment.
WORKING TOGETHER TOWARD A COMMON GOAL
Working with Ernie Els and his design associate, Greg Letsche, along with a European Tour Advisory Group, including Paul McGinley, Thomas Bjørn and David Jones, Wentworth’s Director of Courses, Kenny Mackay, and Chief Executive, Stephen Gibson, EGD (Jeremy Slessor) were tasked with liaising with each stakeholder to prepare a cohesive plan that addressed all the stated concerns. Met with widespread approval, the renovations were completed in time for the 2017 BMA PGA Championships.
