BMW PGA Championship 2025 betting preview & tips
Wentworth’s West Course stages the 71st BMW PGA Championship from September 11-14 as Europe’s Ryder Cup stars sharpen up before Bethpage.
Some 11 of Luke Donald’s 12 (all but Sepp Straka) are here, headlined by Rory McIlroy off an Irish Open win. Add defending champ Billy Horschel, 2021 Masters winner Hideki Matsuyama, and LIV Golf stars like Joaquin Niemann, and this is about as deep as the field gets for the British PGA.
Wentworth is a classic par-72 measuring 7,267 yards, defined by tree-lined doglegs, small bentgrass greens, and punishing run-offs for wayward approaches. It’s very much a second-shot golf course, where approach play, greens in regulation, and scrambling separate the contenders. The dramatic closing stretch — par-fives on the 17th and 18th — offers eagle chances and heartbreak in equal measure, ensuring a thrilling Sunday finish.
Golf betting sites have Jon Rahm sharing outright favoritism with McIlroy — a past winner at Wentworth with three runner-up finishes, including last year. Tommy Fleetwood chases a home win, Ludvig Åberg returns to an event he led after 54 holes in 2023, and Viktor Hovland brings arguably the field’s sharpest irons.

Viktor Hovland top-five finish
Hovland’s iron play remains among the best in the world, ranking just behind Scottie Scheffler for strokes gained on approaches this season. Wentworth is a venue that emphasizes second-shot excellence, and his record confirms the fit with consecutive top-five finishes in his last two starts at the BMW PGA Championship. Provided his driver holds steady, Hovland’s elite approach play should secure him another top-five finish at +400 odds with BetOnline.

Aaron Rai top-10 finish
Rai has established himself as a consistent contender at Wentworth, finishing second in 2023 and fourth in 2024. His profile is built on elite tee-to-green play, which is exactly what the West Course demands. If he puts in a solid performance with the putter, his consistency from tee to green makes another top-10 finish highly likely at +220 odds with BetOnline.
