A wet and bedraggled European Tour leaves Ireland and comes to Wentworth ,where the weather forecast is wet,wet and wetter.

With Ernie,Retief,Luke and Adam Scott in the field and only Sergio missing ,this event should be offering more WR points than the Fedex St Jude whatever.

Best field of the yearso far, so it shoudl be interesting

Looks like they'll be getting wet at Wentworth as well!

At .77 Euro to $1 , the purse in Europe is higher than the purse in USA. 4.25 m Euros is $5.5m compared to $5.2 m at the Fedex St Jude.


And all we will get is constant rain.......................

Ernie will take the title on his home course.

Ah yes, I remember hearing something about Ernie having Wentworth as his home course.

Will be interesting to watch. Of course muggins here will be working through this one entirely. So will have to make sure I've enough videotape at home to catch what I'm going to miss.

Really does look like its going to be a great field

Ernie has a home at Wentworth, where there are actually 3 courses. He did a load of redevelopment on the West tournament course this off season.

The FedEx St Jude "Classic" is one of those "what?" events, seemingly in there just to fill a week in the calendar.

The BMW Championship is also the European Tour equivalent of the Players Championship - it gets allocated extra OWGR points anyway.

This is one of those weeks when the Euro tourney gets more press than the PGA tourney, or so it should. St. Jude really never has produced a good field...and BMW is one of the top events in Europe. A lot of those guys playing in Europe will be making the long distance flight back to the mainland on Monday for the Memorial.

The only good thing about the FedEx is David Toms. What a player

I'm going on Friday, just hope I don't come back as a drowned rat!!! I will be trying to watch a bit of Goosen and Donald, and if possible Els but depends on the crowds.

who's your picks for the BMW.
ill go with olazabal, jimenez, michael campbell and castano.

Goosen and Els won't be too far away. Harrington and Stenson I'm liking too. Surprise package could be Fisher.

i think fred funk is due a win.

The way Retief's been playing the last few months, I can't pick against him, especially in Europe where's he been so tough since 2001 the few events he plays. He is the most overdue for a win than any golfer in the world right now. I look for Campbell, Els and Bjorn to have good weeks, too.

he had a great chance in america the other week, and ended up taking silly bogies and took a 5 over par? on the 72nd hole.
dont get me wrong i love to see goosen play well and win, i will be hoping for a good tournament from him, but i cant see him winning this one.
