Home game: German quintet looking forward to the BMW International Open 2026.

+++ Another five local pros tee off at the BMW International Open (1 – 5 July 2026) +++ Freddy Schott, Nicolai von Dellingshausen, Marcel Siem, Marcel Schneider and Max Kieffer are looking forward to their home tournament +++

Munich. The BMW International Open will once again present an attractive mix of top international players and the best local pros this year. The home game, at the only DP World Tour event in Germany (1 to 5 July 2026, Golfclub München Eichenried), is a special experience for the national elite and a highlight of the season. Fans can once again look forward to seeing numerous compatriots, as Freddy Schott, Nicolai von Dellingshausen, Marcel Siem, Marcel Schneider and Max Kieffer will also be taking part in the 37th edition of the iconic tournament.

25-year-old Freddy Schott celebrated his first victory on the DP World Tour this year when he defeated Patrick Reed (USA) in a play-off at the Bahrain Championship in February. He will now face the Major winner again in Munich.

Nicolai von Dellingshausen has been an integral part of the BMW International Open for many years. The 33-year-old triumphed for the first time on the DP World Tour last year at the Austrian Open and achieved his best result in Munich in 2022 with a tied fifth place.

Marcel Siem has not yet realised his dream of winning in his ‘nursery’ – he spent his childhood at GC München Eichenried. The 45-year-old will make another attempt to win his seventh title on the DP World Tour in his home country.

Marcel Schneider made his debut at the BMW International Open in 2011 and is a permanent fixture in Munich as well as one of the most consistent German players on the DP World Tour. The 36-year-old has yet to win a DP World Tour title, but has come very close on more than one occasion. Perhaps he will clear that hurdle this year in Munich?

Max Kieffer has also not missed his home game for many years. The 35-year-old has already won on the DP World Tour and been in contention for the win at the BMW International Open deep into the final round several times, most recently in 2023; this tournament would mean so much to him and all the German players.

The only local pro to have already achieved this goal will also tee off in Munich is Martin Kaymer, who in 2008 went down in the history books as the youngest winner (23 years and 177 days) of the BMW International Open to date. Last year's best German player, who finished tied for seventh, will also be back as Regensburg-born Matti Schmid will be travelling from the USA walking tall, having recently caused a stir at the second major of the year, the PGA Championship, where he finished tied fourth.
