+++ Eagles for Education: BMW Group donates £1,000 per eagle to the Golf Foundation +++ Hurly Long (GER) aces the 5th hole +++ Low scores at the start of the BMW PGA Championship +++


London. 
The BMW PGA Championship has started the first of four tournament rounds with great momentum. Under ideal conditions, numerous pros have already brought good scores into the iconic clubhouse of the Wentworth Club. Among other highlights, fans were able to celebrate 17 eagles by 3 PM. The most spectacular was achieved by Germany's Hurly Long, who holed out from a distance of 198 yards with a 7-iron on the 5th hole (Par 3), marking the first ace at this year's ‘Festival of Golf’.

For every eagle scored at the BMW PGA Championship, the BMW Group donates £1,000 to the Golf Foundation as part of its Eagles for Education initiative. The Golf Foundation is an organisation that wants to introduce children throughout the United Kingdom to golf and its values and change their lives through the power of this sport, especially in disadvantaged communities and regions. Eagles for Education was launched at the BMW International Open 2023 in Munich, supports educational programmes, and advocates for equal opportunities. Following the BMW Golf Cup World Final in spring 2024, the BMW PGA Championship is the third tournament in the BMW Group's international golfing commitment where Eagles for Education supports such programmes.

The first eagle of the day was scored by Richie Ramsay on the 4th hole, the first par-5 on the legendary West Course. The Scot had teed off early in the morning in the third flight. While the first round is still in full swing, three past champions have already successfully completed their first 18 holes. Rory McIlroy (NIR, BMW PGA Champion 2014), Shane Lowry (IRL, 2022), and Matteo Manassero (ITA, 2013) are currently tied for third place with a score of 5 under par.

CO2 emission information.

Fuel consumption, CO2 emission figures and power consumption and range were measured using the methods required according to Regulation VO (EC) 2007/715 as amended. They refer to vehicles on the German automotive market. For ranges, the NEDC figures take into account differences in the selected wheel and tyre size, while the WLTP figures take into account the effects of any optional equipment.

All figures have already been calculated based on the new WLTP test cycle. NEDC figures listed have been adjusted to the NEDC measurement method where applicable. WLTP values are used as a basis for the assessment of taxes and other vehicle-related duties which are (also) based on CO2 emissions and, where applicable, for the purposes of vehicle-specific subsidies. Further information are available at www.bmw.de/wltp and at www.dat.de/co2/.
