at the Golf Club Gut Lärchenhof in Pulheim, near Cologne.
Munich. BMW has been organising the BMW International Open
since 1989 – a record for the European Tour. This success story
has been going strong for three decades and will continue until
2022. As of the 31st edition in 2019, the iconic tournament will
take place at the Golfclub München Eichenried.
“Extending the BMW International Open to 2022 represents a
strong commitment to the involvement of BMW in the golfsport in
Germany,” says Peter van Binsbergen, Head of Sales and Marketing BMW
Germany and Tournament President of the BMW International Open. “Our
tournament has been delighting spectators and customers for 30
years. It provides a great stage for BMW and tournament partners to
present themselves. The BMW International Open has also become a
meeting place for the golf industry. We will continue this success
story. We are looking forward to the next four years.”
The BMW International Open began in 1989, when Northern
Ireland’s David Feherty won at the Golfclub München Eichenried. The
club in north-west Munich has been a venue for the tournament ever
since. There were a few exceptions to this when the tournament
visited the St. Eurach Land- und Golfclub between 1994 and 1996.
Players teed off at Gut Lärchenhof in 2012, 2014 and 2016, and will
do so again in 2018.
“On behalf of BMW, I would like to thank the management and
members of the Golf Club Gut Lärchenhof for their exceptional
commitment to the BMW International Opens that have taken place
here. These were top-class events at a great golf course. We are
looking forward to celebrating the 30th anniversary of the
tournament together here in June,” says van Binsbergen. “We have
always felt very welcome in Cologne and we would also like to thank
the golf fans in the Rhineland for their support.”
From 2019 to 2022, the tournament will be held in Munich
(Eichenried), close to the BMW Group headquarters.
