Mike Browne is aiming for his second G4D Tour title of the season when the Englishman takes on his rivals and the famous Wentworth West Course at the G4D Tour @ BMW PGA Championship next week.

The WR4GD (World Ranking for Golfers with a Disability) No. 7 is joined by the nine other top 10 players in the world, follwing his Horizon Irish Open triumph at Mount Juliet in June.

“I decided to play a lot on the G4D Tour this year, helping to promote disability golf,” said Browne. “The standard these guys can play at now is phenomenal and the world needs to see how good disabled golf is, especially at the peak of the EDGA series it’s pretty special.”

World No. 1 Brendan Lawlor will be bidding for his first G4D Tour victory after finishing runner-up on two occasions this season, while No. 2 Kipp Popert in the world will go in search of a hat-trick of 2022 titles. The young Englishman defeated Kurtis Barkley in a play-off at The Belfry to win at the British Masters in May and then needed extra holes to beat Lawlor at the Porsche European Open later that month.

Joining Popert and Browne on home soil in the 10-man field is Bradley Smith, who earned his place at Wentworth after winning three of five EDGA (European Disabled Golf Association) tournaments he has played in this season.

“I’m really looking forward to playing on home turf, especially at Wentworth,” said Smith. “Fingers crossed we get some good home support. It’s going to be pretty magical.”

As winners on the Tour this year, Browne, Perrino and Popert have already earned their places in the G4D Tour Series Finale @ DP World Tour Championship, which will take place ahead of the final Rolex Series event of the season at Jumeirah Golf Estates in Dubai this November.
