Inside the BMW PGA Championship

Inside the Rolex Series with the Special Olympics, Golf Foundation and more.

During this week at the BMW PGA Championship, there is far more going on behind the scenes than just a golf tournament.

Champions of Golf for Good, the European Tour continues to try to grow every corner of the game, and this week's 'Inside the Rolex Series' showcases some of the best of that from this week at Wentworth.

From visits from the Special Olympics to the Golf Foundation and spending time on the first tee with Charlie Crosby, find out more about what's been happening at this year's event.

Special Olympics visit

Padraig Harrington has been an ambassador for the Special Olympics since it came to Ireland in 2003, and the European Ryder Cup Captain was there to greet the group of athletes during their visit to Wentworth.

After meeting Harrington, the athletes went inside the ropes at the BMW PGA Championship, and had a tour of the range, a competition on the practice putting green, and spent time out on the course.

The Golf Foundation at the BMW PGA Championship

Encouraging and providing an opportunity for people who come from communities that may not normally get involved in golf, the Golf Foundation spent their time at Wentworth bringing golf to kids and communities through their stand at the BMW PGA Championship.

Filled with games and cool technology, we caught up with them - and their ambassador Nicola Bennett - on the importance of what they do.

"The Golf Foundation, there main goals are to get more young girls and kids in to golf and that aligns with everything I do so it's brilliant," said Bennett.

"I think the Golf Foundation does a brilliant job coming to events like today. We're supporting people who come from communities that don't often have the opportunities to get into Golf."

On the first tee with Charlie Crosby...

At the age of 23, aspiring golfer Charlie Crosby suffered a brain AVM rupture. After life saving surgery, he now lives with severe disabilities.

But Charlie is fighting back, and golf has remained something he loves. So when European Tour CEO Keith Pelley got in touch and invited him along to be on the first tee during the pro-am at the BMW PGA Championship, they were delighted.

"This is great for him, and that's why we are here, to give him a boost," said Charlie's dad, Lee, who was there on the day - along with his wife - with Charlie as he spent much of the day chatting to professionals and celebrities.

"Our dream is to get him back playing golf, that's our ultimate golf.

This is Charlie's story.
