Munich. Among the many players doing their practice rounds at the BMW International Open on the perfectly manicured Championship Course at Golfclub München Eichenried today were two athletes that usually play on a different lawn: The two Champions League winners Thomas Müller (GER) and Gareth Bale (WAL) played a round of nine holes with title holder Haotong Li (CHN) and the best-placed German in the world rankings, Yannik Paul.

Afterwards, the group marked the symbolic start to “Eagles for Education”. The BMW Group is donating the first 10,000 euros to the tournament charity on behalf of the famous athletes.

The long-term charity campaign “Eagles for Education” is making its debut at the BMW International Open in 2023. The BMW Group will donate 1,000 euros for every eagle achieved during the tournament. This sees BMW intensify its long-standing commitment to education and future opportunities for everyone. The money will go to the organisations “JOBLINGE” and “Kick ins Leben”, with which the BMW Group has been working for many years.
