The 2026 BMW International Open takes place on the DP World Tour from July 2-5 with Germany’s only DP World Tour event returning to Golfclub München Eichenried in Munich.
The long‑standing tournament is being staged for the 37th time, and the host venue remains the par‑72 layout measuring 7,354 yards in Bavaria in Germany.
Golfclub München Eichenried is a classical parkland course that tends to reward high‑quality approach play, confident birdie making as well as discipline.
The field features a range of DP World Tour and LIV Golf stars with Joaquin Niemann, Angel Ayora, Eugenio Chacarra, Patrick Reed, Daniel Hillier and Rasmus Neergaard‑Petersen heading the betting markets.

Leading BMW International Open Contenders
Joaquin Niemann
Joaquin Niemann heads the market by a clear margin and looks the standout class act in the field this week.
The Chilean was second last week in Italy and bookmakers rate his chances of going one better in Munich very strongly.
Niemann’s elite ball‑striking and ability to take advantage of scoring layouts make him an obvious threat on a course where birdie production usually matters.
If he settles quickly on the greens, he has every chance of justifying a very short quote for a DP World Tour regular event.
Angel Ayora
Angel Ayora continues to command growing respect as one of the most exciting young talents on the DP World Tour as he chases his first win.
The Spaniard’s aggressive style and high‑quality iron play give him plenty of upside on a venue that rewards players willing to attack when opportunities appear.
He looks one of the most interesting alternatives to Niemann in the outright market.
Eugenio Chacarra
Eugenio Chacarra is another player with both form and course fit working in his favour following back-to-back wins in his last two events.
Chacarra’s powerful long game and naturally attacking mindset make him a dangerous proposition on a course where a run of birdies can quickly build momentum.
If he keeps mistakes off the card – as he did when winning the KLM Open and Italian Open, he has the scoring power to go toe‑to‑toe with the favourite once again.
Patrick Reed
Patrick Reed heads back to Germany as he looks to maintain his position at the top of the Race To Dubai standings.
Reed may not overpower Golfclub München Eichenried in the same way as some of the younger bombers, but his control, touch and competitive edge remain major assets.
He has the kind of short‑game craft that always makes him a threat in this type of field and looks a plausible contender if the event becomes a test of patience and execution rather than a simple shootout.
Daniel Hillier
Daniel Hillier is next in the market and continues to be treated with respect after building a reputation as one of the more reliable contenders on the DP World Tour.
His tidy all‑round game and ability to stay patient on parkland layouts make him an understandable fit for a venue like München Eichenried.
If he produces a good week with the putter, he has every chance of getting involved with the kind of steady profile that can thrive in a week where consistency matters.
Rasmus Neergaard-Petersen
Rasmus Neergaard‑Petersen rounds out the leading group and continues to attract attention as one of the most promising younger names in European golf.
His modern power game can create plenty of birdie looks on a layout of this length, especially if conditions stay calm enough for the field to attack.
If he combines that aggression with enough discipline, he looks capable of making a serious run at the title in Munich.
