The DP World Tour heads to Golfclub München Eichenried for the BMW International Open, the final event of the European Swing, the fourth of five Global Swings on the 2024 Race to Dubai. There’s plenty at stake at the sixth and final counting event of the Swing, with a spot at the Genesis Scottish Open up for grabs to the Swing Champion as well as places in The 152nd Open at Royal Troon for the top five players not otherwise exempt on the Race to Dubai. Current Swing leader Guido Migliozzi will be teeing up this week hoping to retain his position at the top above Nacho Elvira, while Thriston Lawrence returns to defend the title he won last year and last week’s champion Marcel Siem is among a number of German stars that will be hoping to impress on home soil. Away from the top of the rankings, one of the biggest focuses of the week will be on Bernhard Langer, the most successful German golfer of all time, who is set to make his 513th and final appearance on the DP World Tour. Ryan Fox will also make his third appearance in a regular DP World Tour event this season as he begins a three-week stretch in Europe and he is joined by 2016 Masters champion Danny Willett, who won his maiden DP World Tour title at the BMW International Open in 2012 at Golf Club Gut Lärchenhof Cologne.

wonderful times never to be forgotten a that’s a superb longrange bunker shot from Ferguson who has been exemplary so far now then you sort of get in the zone don’t you and you just you look at these and you just you know what there’s no fear you just roll them in and I think he’s in that mode at the moment there you go simply magnificent performance so far from you and Ferguson and as Andrew said

despite your efforts this really is a moment of Celebration uh golf in Europe is your home but also the Catalyst for the career that you’ve had uh could you just summarize to us what the DP World Tour is meant to you both on and off the golf course yeah it’s hard to put into words um it’s kind of been a a dream come through for me you know growing up in a village of 800 people where nobody knew what golf was period when I told my classmates I’m going to go play golf they thought I’m crazy and uh they thought I’m a PPT golfer mini golfer and all that so people had no idea and it was really a strange situation even when I finished school and I tried to become a golf professional uh people didn’t even know what that was it didn’t even exist as a professional in a way so it was very difficult complicated but uh it was my dream and sorry uh yeah I was able to live that dream for 50 years 51 years now so uh Wonder wonderful memories all over the world not just in Europe but you know in Asia whoops sorry Asia Australia Japan you know America really everywhere South Africa I was able to travel the world uh meet with kings and queens and play golf with all sorts of people whether they’re successful businessmen or just uh the average uh butcher or Bri brick layer or whatever it was it was fun it was great and yeah I had lots of uh ups and downs in my career uh there were difficult times with The Yips and other things but uh I’ve had many wonderful moments U it was a privilege to you know play with a big five as they call them uh savy and falo and Lyle and wzy uh I think we spurred each other on uh I believe we probably made the tour in the 80s and ’90s what it is now what it has become and uh it was fun playing against these guys and and you know the youngsters now uh bear the benefits of that throughout the 10 times that you teed it up but also Captain the Ridder cup you’ve built some lifelong relationships and you’ll be able to keep that forever how much will you cherish these moments and memories oh forever they they will not fade away um you know the captaincy was certainly one of my highlights uh to be the captain of the European team and to win in America was unheard of really at that point in time uh and to play under four or five different captains was a privilege uh it it was always an honor to represent the European flag and um it still is so great memories from all over the place knowing that this is your last event on the DP World Tour your colleagues have only had precious things to say I guess in regards to what you have meant to them what have they meant to you well they’ve meant a great deal you know they’ve been the people I’ve competed against really but my my fellow competitors but also my friends uh We’ve created many close friendships uh over decades really with some of them yet at the same time I don’t know half the players that are here now so uh that’s part of life it’s the cycle of life you know it’s almost two generations uh from when I started uh but I’m thrilled to see how many German Pro we have now on tour that you know they’ve they’ve stepped into my footsteps and taken on the challenge and hopefully develop German games the German golf some more in the future well Bernard you’re an absolute inspiration for all on behalf of everyone thank you so much for everything you’ve done for our game appreciate all that you do for our game thank you
