Two prominent golfers have officially confirmed their participation in the upcoming 35th BMW International Open, scheduled to take place from July 3rd to 7th, 2024, at the prestigious Golfclub München Eichenried. Luke Donald and Patrick Reed, both well-known names in the golfing world, are set to make their mark at this iconic tournament.
Luke Donald: A Crowd Favorite
Luke Donald, the 46-year-old Englishman, has been a fan favourite wherever he plays. Known for his exceptional short game, Donald has an impressive record that includes four wins on the PGA TOUR and seven European Tour titles (now known as the DP World Tour). His back-to-back victories at the BMW PGA Championship in 2011 and 2012 catapulted him to the top of the world rankings, a position he held for over a year. Despite his recent focus on Ryder Cup captaincy duties, Donald remains a force to be reckoned with on the golf course.
In anticipation of the 35th anniversary of the BMW International Open, Donald expressed his excitement: “It is an iconic tournament on the DP World Tour calendar, and like the BMW PGA Championship, it has a great atmosphere. BMW’s contribution to the development of golf over the past decades is commendable, and I look forward to teeing off at this prestigious event.”
Patrick Reed’s Debut
Patrick Reed, the 33-year-old American, will make his first appearance at the BMW International Open. Reed, a nine-time PGA TOUR winner, achieved his greatest success at the 2018 Masters, securing victory with a remarkable score of 268 strokes (-15). However, he is perhaps best remembered for his intense singles match against Rory McIlroy during the 2016 Ryder Cup at Hazeltine National Golf Club (USA), earning him the nickname “Captain America.”
Reed’s inclusion adds further excitement to the tournament, as fans eagerly anticipate his performance on the challenging Eichenried course.
The 35th BMW International Open promises thrilling golf action, and with Luke Donald and Patrick Reed in the lineup, spectators are in for a treat. Don’t miss this opportunity to witness golfing excellence and celebrate BMW’s enduring commitment to the sport.
