Munich. The quality of the field at the BMW International Open
just keeps on improving. Visitors to Germany’s most famous
professional golf event can look forward to more big names. Martin
Kaymer (GER) will be joined by another two former winners in Thomas
Bjørn and Lee Westwood. Alex Noren joins fellow 2018 Ryder Cup
heroes Sergio García (ESP) and Thorbjørn Olesen (DEN) in Munich.
Matt Wallace (ENG) will also have to contend with top players like
Rafa Cabrera Bello, Matthew Fitzpatrick and Bernd Wiesberger when he
bids to defend the title he won last year.
“The first BMW International Open was held at Golfclub München
Eichenried exactly 30 years ago, and BMW is proud, as the organiser,
to guide the history of this tournament into its fourth decade,” said
Florian Baumeister, Head of Events, Exhibitions and Sports Marketing
at BMW Germany, at today’s press conference ahead of the BMW
International Open. “We have once again managed to assemble another
top-class field with an exciting mix of players for the spectators
this year.”
Former world number one Westwood won the BMW International Open in
2003 and now returns to the tournament after a 13-year absence. As
vice-captain, he was also involved in the victorious European team in
last year’s Ryder Cup, having previously made ten appearances in the
intercontinental showdown as a player. Captain Bjørn won the BMW
International Open twice, in 2000 and 2002. Noren (ten European Tour
victories), Fitzpatrick (five), Wiesberger (four) and Cabrera Bello
(three) have also been among the top European players for many years.
