Filippo Celli reaches for the stars and celebrates his spectacular debut this week at the BMW PGA Championship in Wentworth. The flagship event of the DP World Tour kicks off on September 17, 2026, promising pure drama on the West Course in Virginia Water, Surrey. For the Italian, it is the biggest stage he has stood on so far on the Tour – and at a tournament boasting a massive $9 million in prize money.
Celli is not alone in this illustrious company; he seamlessly joins a fiercely competitive field led by golf icon Rory McIlroy. The first tee shots on Thursday will already raise the tension, as Celli will tee off alongside Frédéric Lacroix and Alejandro Del Rey. It's going to be fiery! The BMW PGA Championship, being held for the 72nd time, is rightly considered the unofficial home of the DP World Tour and is an absolute season highlight.
Showdown in the Race to Dubai
This tournament is more than just an event – it's a true benchmark and awards an incredible 8,000 points for the Race to Dubai. Every putt, every drive can be decisive here. Defending champion Alex Noren is, of course, also competing and aims to defend his 2025 victory. For Celli, it's the ultimate opportunity to prove himself among the greats and make a big statement this season.
