Stars flock to Wentworth An incredibly strong field heads to Wentworth this week for the European Tour’s flagship event of the season, the BMW PGA Championship. Defending champion Francesco Molinari returns to the Rolex Series event with last year’s runner-up and World Number Two Rory McIlroy, in addition to a host of American stars including Tony Finau, Patrick Reed and Billy Horschel. Also making their debut this week is rising star Viktor Hovland, who tied the PGA Tour record for 17 consecutive rounds in the 60's at the The Greenbrier on Sunday, as well as Open Champion Shane Lowry and World top 20 players; Justin Rose (4), Jon Rahm (6), Paul Casey (13) and Tommy Fleetwood (16). However, Justin Rose is a bit of an injury doubt for the tournament, having withdrawn from Wednesday’s Pro-AM with a knee injury. "Last Thursday I slipped and jarred my knee,” said Rose. “Since then I have been getting treatment on the injury and have been working to ensure I am able to play in this week’s. Unfortunately, I have to withdraw from Wednesday’s Pro-Am as a precaution."
