Last updated:
Plenty of the world's top players have been confirmed to take part in this year's BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth.
A total of 14 major champions, plus world numbers one, two and three - Luke Donald, Rory McIlroy and Lee Westwood - are all set to vie for the top prize between May 24-27 in one of just two European Tour events taking place in England this year.
Donald is the defending champion and is likely to be among the favourites once again while last year's runner-up, Westwood, will also fancy his chances.
Northern Ireland is again well represented by McIlroy, Open champion Darren Clarke and Graeme McDowell, while there are plenty of other big names elsewhere on the list.
Dubliner Padraig Harrington, who will hope to regain his top form in 2012 after a couple of barren years, is also set to play while German star Martin Kaymer and South African ace Charl Schwartzel will compete.
Some of the more experienced names playing include South African duo Ernie Els and Retief Goosen plus Spaniard Jose Maria Olazabal.
