Not over Donald out of 10 in the top eight since February held tournaments: WentworthDate: Thursday 26 to Sunday 29 MayCoverage: Thursday & Friday: 1800-2000 delayed coverage of the last two hours most prominent red/online button BBC2, BBC HD & 2320 in line-0020; Saturday & Sunday: 1430-1700 live on BBC2, BBC and online. Updates on 5 live and qualifying onlineThe more competitive field in the history of the PGA Championship come together this week at Wentworth.Involving all four major champions, all but the injured Padraig Harrington's team of last year's Ryder Cup and everything but Phil Mickelson and Steve Stricker of nine major of the world.
Some of the current number one Lee Westwood, Luke Donald and Martin Kaymer worldwide could end of the world rankings.
And Donald, with eight 10 finishes superior, is well dump to impress.
Started career with his victory at WGC Match Play in Arizona in February and the English could even miss the halfway cut Friday and even take control at the top of the hierarchy, if Westwood and Hansen have bad weeks as well.
"I think that I am the most consistent [player in the world] right now," said English, second in the standings. "I believe I have shown that in recent months".
The 33 years of age, however, entering the tournament on the back of a disappointing defeat by compatriot Ian Poulter in last weekend Volvo World Match Play.
"I had the tournament kind of in my hands and I leave it go", said.
"Last week was disappointing and leaves a bitter taste in mouth to finish in second place - he would have lost in the first round in shape, although it is a bit extreme."
"Think about what went wrong - is only fatigue - what could have been done different and hope that you learn."
"But I do not drag weeks prior to the next week." "At the moment tee that I'll be ready."
Rory McIlroy, disaffected from their implosion of teachers last month, is also in the field.
22 Years of age are determined to compensate for the fall of his Augusta after having to see Charl Schwartzel, who took the opportunity to take the green jacket, receiving applause from stage in the European Tour awards on Tuesday night.
"Definitely I hurt a bit", said the Irish of the North, which was four ahead 10 behind with a nightmare of last round 80 last month. "It is difficult, but I'm a big boy -'ll get over it".
Current number one of the world that Westwood finished runner-up to Colin Montgomerie in the year 2000, but since then his best finish is 10th of the year past, something that is determined to remedy.
"Sometimes simply cannot be explained," said the 38-year-old English.
Why "can play well in the World Match Play in October and make innumerable birdies and, then, here in may, his best result is the second?"?
Event of the European tour flagship is open to the 50 world's best, but only on the Americans are John Daly and Anthony Kang, which are classified into 818th and 489th respectively.
"I suppose that it is the only slightly disappointing thing for the week," added Westwood. "It would be good to see some of the more young Americans come and support the event."
"It's a big tournament, big money, a prestigious title and there are a lot of the world ranking points".
South African Ernie Els, who has a property in the estate of Wentworth, has made changes in the course ahead of the tournament following criticism last year.
And Westwood, Donald, McIlroy and US Open champion Graeme McDowell have all spoken out in favour of the changes, in the eighth, 15 to 18 holes.
"The changes certainly fit my eyes", said McDowell. "The changes are a great improvement."
"The 15th is a great improvement as well." It has opened up the left side of the street which is now allows you to be more aggressive on the tee.
There "is some strong winds for the first round, so the course will be a test."
