BMW PGA Championship Chauffeur Service – Wentworth Club September 2026
The 2026 BMW PGA Championship takes place at Wentworth Club in Virginia Water, Surrey from Monday 15 to Sunday 20 September — six days of the DP World Tour’s flagship event, combining tournament golf on the West Course with the Festival of Golf programme of live music, a celebrity Pro-Am, and hospitality across the week. For clients travelling from Greater Manchester, Cheshire, Merseyside, and Lancashire to attend any day of the championship week, Manner Borne Chauffeurs provides a luxury chauffeur service to Wentworth Club — managing the full journey south from the North West to Virginia Water, the approach to the club’s entrance on Wentworth Drive, and the return north at the end of each day or the end of the visit.
Getting to Wentworth Club from the North West
Wentworth Club sits on Wentworth Drive in Virginia Water, Surrey — a private estate village in the Surrey Hills approximately five miles south of Windsor and 25 miles south-west of central London. The approach from the North West is via the M6 south to the M40 or M1, joining the M25 at junction 15 and then the A30 or A329 for the final approach through Egham or Virginia Water to the club entrance on Wentworth Drive. From Manchester city centre the drive typically runs at between two hours forty-five minutes and three hours fifteen minutes under normal conditions, making it a realistic day trip for any day of the championship week for clients prepared to depart early.
For a Thursday or Friday tournament round with gates opening at around 6.40am — as is standard at the BMW PGA Championship — a North West day trip requires a very early departure, and many clients attending for the tournament rounds prefer to stay in Windsor, Egham, or Sunningdale for the week rather than making the full journey each day. Manner Borne can arrange the initial transfer south to a Surrey or Berkshire hotel, daily transfers to and from Wentworth Club across the relevant days, and the return north at the end of the visit — the most practical arrangement for clients attending multiple days of the championship week.
For the Pro-Am day on Wednesday 16 September and the weekend rounds on Saturday and Sunday — which attract the largest crowds and the most competitive golf as the cut narrows the field — the A30 and Wentworth Drive carry significant event traffic in the two hours before gates open. Manner Borne’s chauffeurs monitor conditions on the day and time the approach to arrive ahead of the peak vehicle volume, using What3Words to confirm the precise drop-off point at the correct entrance to the club.
Wentworth Club – The Course and the Setting
Wentworth Club is a private members club established in 1922, set within a residential estate of exceptional quality in the Surrey Hills. The West Course — the BMW PGA Championship’s home — is a parkland layout of 7,302 yards that has hosted the event since 1964 and produced some of European golf’s most memorable finishing holes, with the par-five 18th consistently generating the tournament’s most dramatic moments. The 2025 Championship saw Alex Noren birdie the first playoff hole to defeat Adrien Saddier in a final-round tie that drew a record attendance across the week, confirming the event’s status as one of the DP World Tour’s most attended and most watched tournaments of the year.
The Festival of Golf atmosphere at Wentworth goes beyond the tournament itself. The Championship Village behind the 18th green houses hospitality, the official merchandise store, food and drink, and the stage for the live music programme that follows each day’s play — making the BMW PGA Championship a full-day occasion rather than simply a golf event, particularly for corporate guests whose hosting programmes extend into the early evening.
Corporate Hospitality at the BMW PGA Championship
The BMW PGA Championship’s premium hospitality offering is among the most refined on the DP World Tour calendar. The Approach hospitality facility — positioned adjacent to the fairway on the 18th hole of the West Course — provides trackside viewing of both the tee shots and the approach shots on the closing par-five, with catering by James Tanner alongside the racing-line view of the final hole where championships are decided. For corporate clients hosting guests at the Approach or at other Wentworth hospitality venues during the week, the chauffeur transfer from London, the Home Counties, or the North West should match the standard of the hospitality itself.
Manner Borne’s golf chauffeur service covers the BMW PGA Championship as part of its dedicated golf programme, alongside other major DP World Tour and Ryder Cup events where North West clients make the journey to attend. For clients who combine the BMW PGA Championship with the British Masters, the Scottish Open, or other summer tour events, a standing arrangement across the golf season is available.
Vehicle Choice for a Wentworth Week
For clients attending a single day at Wentworth as a day trip from the North West, the Mercedes-Benz S-Class chauffeur vehicle in long-wheelbase configuration provides the rear cabin quality that makes a three-hour motorway journey in each direction a genuinely restful experience — the seat recline, the climate control, and the cabin insulation all relevant on a September day that can be warm on the Surrey course but cool on the northbound M40 after dark. For groups of golf enthusiasts or corporate parties attending together, the Mercedes-Benz V-Class XLWB accommodates up to seven in individual seating, keeping the group together for the full journey and allowing the tournament’s key moments to be discussed at leisure on the return north rather than in a hurried debrief at a service station.
For clients staying in London for the week and making daily transfers to Wentworth Club from a central hotel, the journey from Mayfair or Knightsbridge to Virginia Water runs at approximately 40 to 55 minutes via the A316 and A30, depending on morning traffic through Richmond and Egham. This connection is served by Manner Borne’s London office at 0203 603 6030.
