Fantasy Golf Tournament Preview- BMW International (Euro Tour- Pro Pack Members)

OVERVIEW

The European Tour is back in action this week as we head to Germany for this week’s BMW International. One item of note before diving into the course and picks is that this course hasn’t hosted the event year after year. In 2018, 2016, 2014 & 2012 the event was hosted at Golf Club Gut Larchenhof, and alternates between München Eichenried on the odd years so when looking at course history, it’s somewhat important to exclude the even numbered years. Germans, Belgians, the Danes and Swedes have a storied past at this event over the years. Englishmen Wallace, Willett, Horsey & Dougherty have also won, but for the most part we’re seeing winners from other countries rather than those who typically fill up the entrants list from England. I know it’s a bit daft to play heavily into birthplace or nationality narrative, but it does seem like this event is played well by those other than the obvious golfers from the area locally especially when its names like Pavan, Wallace, Romero, Larrazabal (2x), Zanotti, Fasth etc. The rotation of courses seems to fit well with the elite European Tour golfers (runners-up include – Fitzpatrick, Kaymer, Olesen, Detry, Garcia, Stenson, Cabrera Bello, Langer, Goosen, Harrington and even John Daly who won in 2001 also).
