It’s the end of an era.
Bernhard Langer, the most succesful male German golfer of all time, is playing in the BMW International Open in Munich for the last time this week. In fact, this event marks his 513th and final start on the DP World Tour.
Langer, 66, won 42 DP World Tour titles (in addition to his three PGA Tour and 46 PGA Tour Champions wins). He was originally planning to make the 2024 Masters his final trip to Augusta National but suffered an Achilles injury in February and has since since that 2025 will be his final time playing the Masters.
Langer’s return to Munich will be his first since 2012.
This is the 35th year of the BMW, Germany’s longest-running pro golf tournament. John Daly holds the mark for lowest score – 27 under – in 2001.
This is the fourth of five tournaments on the DP World Tour’s European Swing but the sixth and final of those events that count towards the Race to Dubai Ranking. Also on the line this week is a spot in the 152nd Open Championship at Royal Troon for those not already in the field.
