The BMW PGA Championship has been shortened to 54 holes, play to resume Saturday morning

On Thursday, Queen Elizabeth II passed away at the age of 96. The DP World Tour suspended play of the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth in Surrey, England, and at the time was unsure when play would resume.

We now have an answer.

The second round will start 6:40 a.m. local time (1:40 a.m. ET) Saturday and players who did not finish their first rounds will return to the course at 7:30 a.m. local (2:30 a.m. ET). Original second-round tee times will remain the same.

The tournament has been shortened to 54 holes and will conclude Sunday.

Black ribbons will be available for players to wear during competition and flags will fly at half-staff.

At 9:50 a.m. local time (4:50 a.m. ET), there will be a two-minute moment of silence across the grounds in respect to Queen Elizabeth II.
