The BMW PGA Championship has rediscovered its mojo lately, helped in their own way by each of the last four winners. First we had Rory McIlroy, the biggest draw in European golf; then we were treated to a stunning rookie success for Byeong Hun An, followed by the latest in a long line of English winners, Chris Wood, before Sweden's Alex Noren brought the house down with a sensational final-round 62 to win the 2017 renewal.
Along the way, Wentworth has continued to adapt and judging by both the comments during last year's edition and the quality of the final leaderboard, Ernie Els and co have finally struck gold. The removal of 34 bunkers, flattening out of others and, crucially, relaying of greens which met universal approval has restored this famous course to the standards required of such an important event on the schedule.
McIlroy is back to head a fairly strong field, and his mixed bag at Wentworth (four missed cuts, four made; one win, just one further top-five) makes for a difficult decision for punters because with eight places on offer, a chunky each-way bet on the best player in the field is arguably the best approach.
Two wins and 10 further top-10 finishes in his last 15 European Tour starts demonstrate that he's always dangerous when returning from the United States, and when last playing golf in England McIlroy finished second, despite being out of sorts and struggling with injury, in the British Masters. Similarly, his last foray onto the European Tour saw him finish second, this time under his favourite conditions in Dubai.
