Masters Tournament champions Sergio Garcia and Patrick Reed will join home heroes Stephan Jäger, Martin Kaymer and Matti Schmid in the field for the 2025 BMW International Open.
Spaniard Garcia will tee off at Germany’s only current DP World Tour event for the 14th time this year, while Reed is making only his second appearance at Golfclub München Eichenried.
Garcia last teed off at the BMW International Open in 2022 but has yet to lift the trophy in Munich and would love to add to his 16 DP World Tour and 11 PGA TOUR wins.
He has finished second twice in 2011 and 2017 and, together with Pablo Larrazábal, created one of the highlights of the tournament's 36-year history in 2011.
Over five extra holes, the two Spaniards went head-to-head in a play-off that was both dramatic and top class, and one that those who had the privilege of witnessing live will no doubt never forget.
"I’m really looking forward to returning to the BMW International Open. This tournament and the golf fans, who have always given me their whole-hearted support there, have always meant a great deal to me," said Garcia.
"I have great memories of Munich and am looking forward to competing with a first-class international field, including the top German players."
Reed made his debut at the BMW International Open last year and finished in joint 13th place. After three rounds the Texan was just two shots behind the leader but a closing 73 saw him lose ground.
However, Reed still has very fond memories of the week in Munich and said: “The 2024 BMW International Open was the third BMW tournament that I teed off at, after the BMW Championship in the USA and the BMW PGA Championship in London.
"All three tournaments are events with fantastic organisation and an amazing atmosphere. I’m looking forward to experiencing that again this year and will give it my all to win this title that is rich in tradition.”
Both Garcia and Reed are known for their performances in the Ryder Cup, with Garcia the record points-scorer with 28.5 across his ten appearances.
Reed earned himself the nickname Captain America as an emotive member of Team USA and his singles match against Rory McIlroy at the 2016 edition in Hazeltine is unforgettable and regarded as one of the best ever played in the event.
