The BMW International Open was first played in 1989 with BMW as the organizer every year. This is the final event of the European Swing portion of the 2026 season.
At the completion of this tournament, the top five DP World Tour members and ties not otherwise exempt by being in the top 20 of the Race to Dubai Rankings will qualify for The 154th Open at Royal Birkdale
In the 2025 BMW International Open, Daniel Brown won his second DP World Tour title on the way to securing his PGA Tour card for the 2026 season. He will be looking to make history as the only player to successfully defend his title at the BMW International Open.
“It’s nice but it’s obviously strange because I haven’t played a DP World Tour event since Mauritius so it’s nice to be back on the DP World Tour and nice to be back as a defending champion which I haven’t done before,” said Brown. “There’s not many times in your career where you can come back and defend.”
