The organizers of the BMW PGA Championship have addressed rumors suggesting that the event might have ties to a LIV Golf financial backer. In response, they firmly stated that there are no plans to sell the prestigious tournament to any LIV-associated investors.
Speculation arose after whispers circulated about a potential sale involving the BMW PGA Championship, one of the European Tour’s flagship events. LIV Golf, which has been making waves in the golf world with its financial backing and high-profile signings, has created notable tension with traditional tours like the PGA and DP World Tours. Despite the LIV Golf interest in expanding its reach within the sport, the tournament’s hosts confirmed that there are no intentions to alter the ownership or affiliation of the BMW PGA Championship.
Held annually at Wentworth Club in Surrey, England, the BMW PGA Championship is a cornerstone of the DP World Tour, and it consistently attracts top international talent. The organizers reaffirmed their commitment to maintaining the tournament’s integrity and focus within the existing tour structure, ensuring it remains a celebrated part of European golf without involvement from LIV Golf’s financial networks.
This announcement reaffirms the commitment to preserving the longstanding traditions and values associated with the event, positioning it firmly within the DP World Tour for the foreseeable future.
