BMW Golf Cup International 2015 Indonesia.

Exclusively for BMW owners, the largest amateur golf tournament in the world.

Jakarta. BMW Indonesia today hosted a qualifying round of the BMW Golf Cup International 2015. More than 144 players participated in this event which was held at the Royale Jakarta Golf Club. This qualifying round was generously supported by Samsung.

With around 100,000 amateur golfers, who are also BMW owners, from more than 40 countries participating, the BMW Golf Cup International is the world’s most renowned and largest international tournament series for amateurs. The competition also highlights the commitment of BMW Golfsport, which has seen BMW develop into one of the most reliable corporate golf partners in the world. The BMW Golf Cup International was first launched in England in 1982, when BMW staged the inaugural BMW Invitation Tournament.

BMW is one of the world’s major supporters of golf. For more than 30 years, BMW has been associated with this exhilarating and absorbing sport. The BMW Golf Cup International continues to attract players from around the world who are passionate about both the BMW brand as well as the sport itself. “We were delighted to invite our cherished Indonesian customers to participate in this prestigious golfing event,” said Karen Lim, President Director of BMW Group Indonesia. “The BMW Golf Cup International 2015 qualifying round in Indonesia was held to provide an unmatched and unforgettable experience for all participants as well as to give Indonesian amateur golfers the chance to compete in the world tournament,” added Karen.

A chance to participate in the BMW Golf Cup International World Final 2015.

The three winners – the first and second best Men’s Gross score and the Ladies flight champion - are entitled to an all-expenses paid trip from BMW Indonesia to take part in the BMW Golf Cup International World Final 2015. At this tournament, these Indonesian golfers will go head-to-head with the best amateur players from all around the world.

In addition to the opportunity of participating in the BMW Golf Cup International World Final 2015, participants also stood the chance of winning the exceptional hole-in-one prizes of an all-new BMW X4 and a new BMW 4 Series Gran Coupé. These hole-in-one prizes certainly played a role in raising the tension and excitement of the tournament to a higher level.

Hole-in-one and Lucky Draw Prizes.

The all-new BMW X4 offers the premium mid-size segment its first taste of the Sports Activity Coupé concept. Visually, this vehicle combines to perfection the powerful character of a Sports Activity Vehicle (SAV) with the elegant design of a classical coupe. The all-new BMW X4 xDrive28i xLine comes with a 245 hp turbocharged four-cylinder engine, which teams up with an eight-speed Steptronic transmission to produce peak torque of 350 Nm and a sprint from 0 to 100 km/h which is over in a mere 6.4 seconds. Its average fuel consumption in the EU test cycle is considered efficient at only 14.3  kilometres per litre, while its CO² emissions of 162 grams per kilometre are similarly low.

Meanwhile, the new BMW 4 Series Gran Coupé also showcases elegant and dynamic design features, giving it an inevitably luxurious appearance. The number “4” of this new model heralds a new era for elegant coupé design and also emphasizes its increased power, sporty character and innovative technology. The new BMW 4 Series Gran Coupé is the perfect representation of the BMW design philosophy, assuring Sheer Driving Pleasure for all those who have the fortune to take its wheel. The new BMW 428i Gran Coupé also comes with the M Sport package. BMW never fails to impress thanks to its remarkable performance and styling, and the M Sport package shines a particularly bright spotlight on its outstanding dynamic qualities.

Furthermore, at this occasion BMW Indonesia also held a lucky draw in which one fortunate person won a VIP package to the 2015 BMW Masters. This illustrious tournament will take place at the Lake Malaren Golf Club in Shanghai from November 12 to 15, 2015. This VIP package comprises a return air ticket in business class for one person, accommodation for 3 nights in the 5-star hotel which is serving as the official partner of the 2015 BMW Masters, access to a convenient shuttle service, as well as a VIP hospitality ticket. Last but not least, most enticing is the opportunity to attend a VIP Golf Clinic run by a professional golfer.
