About the Championship

The English PGA Championship was restored to the PGA tournament schedule for 2018 following an eight-year hiatus.

The inaugural event was staged at Goodwood in 2010 when Ben St John won the 54-hole tournament with a four-under-par score of 209.

The 2019 tournament went to Bowood Hotel Golf & Spa where Paul Hendriksen kept a cool head in sweltering conditions to win the title.

The English PGA Championship promises to provide one of the strongest fields of the season with exemptions for the 2024 Great Britain & Ireland PGA Cup team and all past Great Britain & Ireland Ryder Cup players.

Places have also been made available for the last five PGA Professional Championship winners. The top 15 players from each of the seven PGA Regional Orders of Merit have also been given exemptions. All other places will be determined by seven regional qualifiers.

PGA Golf Course, Bowood

Set in stunning 'Capability' Brown parkland, Bowood House is among the most unique places to visit in Wiltshire, England. The Estate has evolved over the years to include the luxurious Bowood Hotel, Spa, Championship Golf Course and many other features.

Established in 1992 and set amongst 1,500 acres of glorious parkland, the Dave Thomas-designed 7,309 yard par 72 championship course is renowned as one of the finest in Wiltshire and now becomes a high profile ‘must play’ course in the west region and beyond.

Bowood can provide a stiff challenge when played from the blue tees. The course can be enjoyed by the club golfer when playing from the white (6,878 yards) or yellow tees (6,566 yards) and for ladies from the red tees (6,015 yards).
