This is an excellent opportunity to photograph some of the world's best golfers alongside some top sports and entertainment celebrities at the BMW PGA Championships at Wentworth.
The PGA Championship is the most prestigious event on the European Tour and therefore attracts a huge number of the top players in the world. This year the event has been moved to September and the field includes some of the world's best golfers including British Open Champion Francesco Molinari, Rory Mcilroy, Tommy Fleetwood, Ian Poulter, Justin Rose and Lee Westwood.Many of England's Cricket World Cup heroes have also now been confirmed to play including Joe Root, Jos Butler and Ben Stokes. James Anderson, Stuart Broad and Kevin Pietersen are also playing.
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. I have now photographed five Ryder Cups and many more Open Championships.
This is an excellent full day of photography, starting at around 8/8:30am on the course and finishing late in the afternoon. However you can leave at any point of the day that suits you.
The Pro Celebrity day is on Wednesday 18th September where the Pro golfers team up with other stars from the entertainment and sporting world. These days are far more relaxed photographically than the actual competition days, allowing us more scope to get into the exact positions we need to be in to get the best shots. The sporting celebrities competing in the past have included John Terry, Paul Scholes, Robbie Fowler, as well as cricket legends Sir Ian Botham, Shane Warne, Brian Lara and Allan Lamb. From the world of entertainment One Direction's Niall Horan will also be teeing off with the Pros as well as many many others.
The day costs £249 and includes entry and on course parking. Numbers are strictly limited to allow myself to give as much one to one tuition as possible.
Last year's course was hugely popular so please email me at info@sportsphotographyschool.co.uk to secure your place.
