When the news was announced, Horschel said: “I’m incredibly proud to have won the BMW PGA Championship for a second time, particularly in the manner in which I did it last year. I really gave it my all to have a chance to compete for the title and then to go up against Rory and Thriston in the play-off was a thrill.
“It truly is one of the most special weeks of the year, and with everything else going on off the golf course there is such a great atmosphere. It’s a world-class golf course with a world-class field and I am really looking forward to the challenge of playing at Wentworth Club again as the defending champion.”
