The 2023 BMW PGA Championship concluded on Sunday (September 17) with Ryan Fox picking up the trophy. Holding off a world-class field, he held his nerve well at the Wentworth course to birdie the final hole and secure his place at the top of the leaderboard.
The BMW PGA Championship had a prize purse worth $9 million. The flagship event saw an increase in the prize money from last year. While winner Ryan Fox walked away with $1.53 million from the total prize fund, joint runners-up Aaron Rai and Tyrrell Hatton took home almost $780,000.
Ryan Fox was ecstatic to pick up a win at the BMW PGA Championship with a total score of 18 under 270, beating the runners-up by one stroke. Elated to lift the trophy after the tournament, he said via BBC:
“I certainly didn’t think I’d be talking to you [as the winner] after the third hole today. I’ve always struggled a little bit around here. I think I’ve snuck maybe one top 20 and struggled to make any cuts. To have a back nine like that, especially after how I started, was amazing.”
