According to European Tour’s website and this tweet, stars of film and television will be taking a break from delivering their lines to join the best golfers in the world for a day of unscripted Celebrity Pro-AM golf competition at Wentworth Club in Virginia Water, Surrey, United Kingdom on Wednesday, May 23, prior to the BMW PGA Championship set for May 24-May 27, 2018.

Damian returns to the West Course looking to improve on a third place finish in last year’s event, which is the curtain raiser to the BMW PGA Championship, the first of eight Rolex Series events on the European Tour. Live coverage begins with an On the Range show on Wednesday afternoon at 3:00 pm, featuring action from the celebrity-filled Pro-Am as well as a special masterclass. Learn more how to watch live from Sky Sports.

Last year Damian joined the 2016 BMW PGA Champion Chris Wood, as well as rowing legends Sir Matthew Pinsent and Sir Steve Redgrave, to finish with an impressive team score of 24 under par. This year Damian will tee off at 1:15 p.m. and join professional Thomas Bjorn, along with Bradley Simpson and Luke Pasqualino.

Here is the full list of Pros, Ams and Celebs, their handicaps, and which groups they’re in  (*subject to change):
