The 2000 Volvo PGA Championship was the 46th edition of the Volvo PGA Championship, an annual professional golf tournament on the European Tour. It was held 26–29 May at the West Course of Wentworth Club in Virginia Water, Surrey, England, a suburb southwest of London.

Colin Montgomerie won by three strokes over Darren Clarke, Andrew Coltart and Lee Westwood to claim his third consecutive Volvo PGA Championship, a feat that had never been achieved before.[1][2]
