How to watch the BMW PGA Championship on Thursday
There are not one, but two unofficial Ryder Cup training camps going down this week. The American team is playing the PGA Tour’s Procore Championship, but the stars of the European Ryder Cup team are teeing it up at the DP World Tour’s BMW PGA Championship.
Among those stars is Rory McIlroy, who is fresh off a thrilling victory at the Amgen Irish Open. McIlroy hasn’t been afraid to get the Ryder Cup chatter going early this year. But it hasn’t taken away from his play on the course.
