Play halted at BMW PGA Championship following death of Queen Elizabeth II

VIRGINIA WATER, England – Play was halted at the BMW PGA Championship until “further notice” following the death of Queen Elizabeth II.

DP World Tour officials announced earlier on Thursday that “in line with all major sporting events we have protocols in place, but we will be guided in all of this by Buckingham Palace, hence we will only share these protocols when it is appropriate to do so.”

It remains to be seen when the first round will resume at Wentworth, where 30 players had not completed their opening round at the European circuit’s flagship event.
