Gareth Bale, Andy Murray, Tom Holland golf handicaps revealed ahead of Wentworth celebrity Pro-Am at BMW PGA Championship

The worlds of sport and showbiz collide again this week with the BMW PGA Championship Celebrity Pro-Am, with a star-studded line-up confirmed to tee it up at Wentworth.

Ryder Cup stars Rory McIlroy, Tommy Fleetwood, Shane Lowry, Robert MacIntyre and Matt Fitzpatrick feature in one of the biggest events on the DP World Tour schedule, where the day before the tournament sees names from outside the golfing world also tackle the West Course.

McIlroy is the highest-ranked golfer in this year’s tournament and has former Real Madrid and Tottenham star Gareth Bale as one of his amateur partners, with the Welshman a scratch golfer who has previously impressed in Pro-Am events.

Joining them in that group will be former England international Stuart Broad, who plays off 6.4, with the recently retired fast bowler one of a strong cricketing contingent in golf action on Wednesday.

Ben Stokes and England’s record Test-wicket taker James Anderson also feature, along with current international Ollie Pope – at the same time Surrey chase County Championship victory – and former international Kevin Pietersen.
