Vincent Norrman’s sensational 7-under-par final round at The K Club ensured that we had back-to-back Swedish winners on the DP World Tour. It was a towering achievement that was overshadowed somewhat by Rory McIlroy’s inexplicable Sunday no-show.
You can almost feel the weight of all those Major Championship near-misses resting squarely on the legend’s shoulders. In any event, the tour moves on to Wentworth for one of the most iconic events in world golf: the BMW PGA Championship. This is the tour’s flagship event and the penultimate in the series of four Rolex Series played this season.
This will be the 40th consecutive staging of this event at the iconic Wentworth Club. This is also a very nuanced course that tends to reward familiarity.
So, it would probably behove you to focus on players with pretty solid course credentials.

The Man to Beat (To Win)
Tom Kim (25/1)
The 21-year-old- a two-time winner on the US PGA Tour- will be looking to add to his global winning streak this week. Kim has won in America, Korea and Japan and I’m sure he will be desperate to add England into the mix. He is 10th on the PGA Tour for Driving Accuracy and he should be giving himself plenty of birdie opportunities this week.
