DP World Tour organizers teamed up with Sport United Against Dementia for an important cause in the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth.
During the second round of the circuit’s flagship tournament in Surrey, a unique change was made to the course buildout to support the pioneering Alzheimer’s Society campaign.
Fans on the West Course may have noticed on the third tee that both the par and yardage information had been removed.
And one player from a series of the marquee morning and afternoon groups had their name removed from their caddie bib, as well as their score from the walking scorecard as they played the hole.
Every 3 minutes someone in the UK develops dementia. 1 in 3 people wait over a month to speak out about early symptoms.

This, as the Alzheimer’s Society explains, is to reflect these important “one in three” statistics:
Every 3 minutes someone in the UK develops dementia
1 in 3 people born today will develop dementia
1 in 3 people with dementia do not have a formal diagnosis
1 in 3 people wait over a month to speak out about early symptoms
DP World Tour chief executive Guy Kinnings will walk 100 laps of the outfield of Lord’s cricket ground this month alongside 100 industry and media colleagues to raise funds for Alzheimer’s Society.
Ahead of World Alzeimer’s Day on September 21, the tour is also using this third Rolex Series event of the season to promote the cause.
