Lando Norris added to star-studded Wentworth line up for BMW PGA Championship
F1 hero returning to play at this year's BMW PGA pro-am at Wentworth Grand Prix hero Lando Norris is swapping the steering wheel for golf clubs as he returns to the BMW PGA Championship. The F1 icon will join the likes of Sir Andy Murray and cricket hero Ben Stokes to team-up with golf heroes such as Rory McIlroy and Bob MacIntyre in Sepetmber. Norris and McLaren Racing CEO Zak Brown will swap the track for fairways when they tee it up in the BMW PGA Championship Celebrity Pro-Am. Tennis icon Andy Murray, England Men's Test Captain Stokes and former England and Chelsea captain John Terry in the Pro-Am field for what promises to be a star-studded line-up of celebrities from the worlds of sports, music and entertainment. Norris played in the event three years ago and is now returning having partnered Ryder Cup hero Tyrrell Hatton in 2022, while Brown will tee it up in the star-studded event for the first time. Darell O'Hora, Championship Director of the BMW PGA Championship, said: 'We're absolutely thrilled to welcome Lando Norris back to the. He's one of Britain's brightest young sports stars and will bring great energy to the event. 'It's also a real pleasure to have Zak Brown joining us for the first time and our thanks go to our partners DP World for inviting them to play this year. "With the line-up for both the Celebrity Pro-Am and the BMW PGA Championship really coming together, the buzz is building and we can't wait for what promises to be a fantastic day out for the whole family.' Norris has continued to establish his credentials as one of the leading stars in F1, winning three times so far in 2025, most recently at last weekend's Austrian Grand Prix. He was also victorious at the season-opening Australian Grand Prix and the historic Monaco Grand Prix and has recording six further podium finishes this year. Murray reckons he went numb when having an outing last year as he played alongside countryman MacIntyre in Surrey. He said: 'I couldn't really feel my arms and legs. It was good. A brilliant experience for me. "To be out there with one of the best in the world for me, it was brilliant. I was pretty nervous. "I couldn't really feel my arms and legs. I didn't really hit any balls on the range beforehand. "Yeah, I was feeling it. But it got better. It got better as the round went on. It's a different sort of nerves from Wimbledon because you are comfortable in the tennis environment. 'I'm not thinking I'm going to walk out on the tennis court and forget how to hit the ball. "You just, you want to perform well. Whereas here, you're sort of nervous. "There's people standing like five metres away from where I'm driving and I'm like: I'm useless at this game! "You just want to try and keep the ball in play and don't mess up too much.'

‘Healthy competition' can drive England to Euro glory
England midfielder Ella Toone believes 'healthy competition' within the side can push the Lionesses on to glory at the European Women's Championship this summer. Sarina Wiegman's side earned a convincing 7-0 victory over Jamaica in their final game before they aim to defend their European crown in Switzerland starting on Saturday against France. Toone got on the scoresheet in an England shirt for the first time since a 5-1 win over Italy in February 2024 as she netted both the opener and third goal from range. Send-off victory 🙌 — Lionesses (@Lionesses) June 30, 2025 There has been significant change in the England side since they reached the World Cup final two years ago but Toone is excited about the squad England have at their disposal for this year's tournament. She told the England website: 'It's nice to send ourselves off to the Euros in that style. 'I've waited a while for another goal in an England shirt and two came today, so obviously I'm really happy with that. But overall, the team performance was great and we're excited now going into the Euros. 'We've got a very talented squad, a very exciting group, and for us, we're going to take each game as it comes, we're going to step out and give our all as we always do, and hopefully we can make the nation proud. 'There's so much talent, there's players who have been to tournaments, players who are going to their first, and no matter what role I have in the tournament I'll make sure that I give my best for the team – we'll all be pushing each other and it's healthy competition.' Georgia Stanway was also on target at the King Power Stadium on Sunday alongside Lucy Bronze, Alessia Russo, Aggie Beever-Jones and Beth Mead. The Bayern Munich midfielder missed some of the season through injury but insists she has bounced back stronger. She said: 'I didn't expect to be having surgery at the end of January, it's my first injury in about 10 years so I've had a good innings. Maybe it happened for a reason but I'm feeling good, I'm feeling fresh. 'It's a cliche but I do feel fitter, faster and sharper than I have in a long time. I've timed it perfectly. 'But I think today the main focus was just trying to enjoy it. We've worked hard in training and we wanted to get those actions into the game today.'
