Munich. This week marks the beginning of the 2025 Race to Dubai on the DP World Tour with the BMW Australian PGA Championship which will be held from November 21-25 at the Royal Queensland Golf Club (Brisbane, AUS). The premiere of this high-profile tournament, featuring BMW as the title partner, also kicks off the new BMW Golfsport season, which includes numerous outstanding events across four continents.
The BMW Australian PGA Championship, one of the most significant events in the Australian sports calendar, will be played on the same course that will also be the venue for the golf competitions at the 2032 Olympic Games. Local hero Min Woo Lee, currently number 48 in the world, will defend his title against fellow countrymen and major winners Geoff Ogilvy and Cameron Smith, among others.
From Australia, the BMW Golfsport journey continues to Asia, specifically to the Thai capital of Bangkok. There could be no better host nation than the “Land of Smiles”: those who have qualified for the BMW Golf Cup World Final will be beaming with joy as they experience a unique golf week. The climax of the world's largest international tournament series for amateur golfers will be played from March 2-7, 2025, at the Alpine Golf Club and is an exclusive once-in-a-lifetime event both on and off the fairways.
In addition to the BMW Australian PGA Championship, two other iconic tournaments with BMW in the name enrich the DP World Tour calendar. For the 36th time, the premium car manufacturer will host the BMW International Open in its hometown of Munich. Germany's most prestigious tournament will take place from July 2-6, 2025, at Golfclub München Eichenried.
The Wentworth Club near London will be the traditional venue for the “Festival of Golf”, the BMW PGA Championship, from September 9-14, 2025. The flagship event of the DP World Tour will once again be a crowd-puller in the new season with a world-class field and the unique supporting programme – from the Celebrity Pro-Am filled with stars from sports and show business to the live concerts on the weekend.
BMW is also the title partner of an outstanding tournament on the PGA TOUR, the BMW Championship. Only the top 50 players in the FedExCup rankings qualify for the second of three playoff events, making it one of the most competitive in the world. For the second time after 2021, this golf sport highlight will be held from August 12-17, 2025, at the Caves Valley Golf Club in Owings Mills, northwest of Baltimore (USA).
