The European Tour's flagship event, the BMW PGA Championship, released the entry list for the tournament taking place from May 23 to May 26. The tournament will once again be contested on the West Course at the Wentworth Club in Surrey, England. As always, there is an extremely strong field, with world #2 Rory McIlroy, back-to-back champion Luke Donald, and world #4 Justin Rose headlining the field. All 12 of Europe's 2012 Ryder Cup-winning team will tee it up, along with their captain, Jose Maria Olazabal. Other notables include Thomas Bjorn, Paul Casey, Darren Clarke, Ernie Els, Retief Goosen, Padraig Harrington, 2014 Ryder Cup captain Paul McGinley, and Colin Montgomerie. The prize fund has been increased by approximately €250,000 to a record €4,750,000. Less than three weeks remain until the Tour's best battle it out for one of golf's most prized tournaments.
