2020 BMW PGA Championship

The 2020 BMW PGA Championship will be the 66th edition of the BMW PGA Championship, an annual golf tournament on the European Tour, which was originally due to be held 10–13 September at the West Course of Wentworth Club in Virginia Water, Surrey, England, a suburb southwest of London. On 28 May, the European Tour announced a new revised schedule in relation to the COVID-19 pandemic. This meant that the tournament dates have been rescheduled to 15–18 October.[1] The tournament was brought forward one week in the schedule on 17 August to allow for culmination of a second, unofficial "UK Swing", starting with the Dubai Duty Free Irish Open and the Aberdeen Standard Investments Scottish Open. The tournament will now be played from the 8–11 October.[2]
