This really is a not-to-be missed opportunity to photograph some of the best golfers in the world as well as some of the biggest names in British sport and entertainment as they take on the fabulous Wentworth course in the BMW PGA Championship Pro-Am.
The BMW PGA Championship is the most prestigious tournament on the European Tour and therefore attracts a huge number of the top players in the world. The field this year will include some of the best golfers in the world which last year included Rory Mcilroy, Ian Poulter, Sergio Garcia, Paul McGinley, Paul Casey, Justin Rose, Thomas Bjorn, Lee Westwood, Ernie Els, Danny Willett and Luke Donald. Rory McILroy has now confirmed that he is playing again this year.
They will be joined by some of the highest profile names in British sport and entertainment such as Alan Shearer, Ryan Giggs, Andrew Strauss, Chris Robshaw, Colin Montgomerie, Tim Henman, Sir Steve Redgrave, Matthew Pinsent, Sir Ian Botham, AP McCoy, Matt Dawson, Ian Wright, Theo Walcott, Niall Horan, Piers Morgan and Chris Evans.
The West Course at Wentworth is a beautiful setting and great for pictures, offering photographers limitless vantage points to get those great shots, both close up tee shots as well as great opportunities around the greens. I have photographed this event for over twenty years and will use this wealth of experience to get you into the right positions and best vantage points to shoot the great images you’re after.
This is a fabulous full-on day of photography but is suitable for photographers of all skill levels and experience. The course starts at around 8am and will finish in the late afternoon. However you can leave at any point of the day that suits you.
The Pro-Am day is on Wednesday 23rd May 2018. The day is far more relaxed photographically than on the actual competition days of the championship, allowing us far more scope to get into the photographic positions normally restricted to the full time professional golf photographers.
The course fee is £295.
VIP on-course parking can also be arranged at the time of booking for an extra £12.
Numbers on this course are strictly limited to allow myself and Matthew to give as much one-to-one tuition as possible.
Last year's course was hugely popular so please email me at mark@sportsphotographyschool.co.uk to guarantee your place.
