SPECIAL GUESTS.

Learn from the best – another offering at the BMW Golf Cup World Final. Fanny Sunesson, the most successful female caddie in the history of golf, will be on site all week to advise guests. The Swede was responsible for Sir Nick Faldo’s bag for eight years and won four Majors tournaments at his side. She celebrated a total of 25 pro wins during her career, took part in the prestigious Ryder Cup four times, and was also caddie for Martin Kaymer and Henrik Stenson.

 

The best golfer in Europe to date, as measured by the Order of Merit, will also be attending the BMW Golf Cup: Record winner Colin Montgomerie has won the season ranking, now known as the Race to Dubai, eight times. In an exclusive golf clinic, the six-time Ryder Cup winner will be wowing the world finalists and their guests with his golf swing as well as his charm and his humorous approachability. At the closing gala dinner, "Monty" will also be honouring golfers from around the world: He will present the trophies and make time for photos and chats.

WORLD CLASS.

From the outset, the world finalists will experience what it means to be able to be part of the BMW Golf Cup World Final. The BMW Courtesy Car Service will pick them up from the airport and chauffeur them to the Mandarin Oriental in the heart of Bangkok. The five-star hotel is right on the Chao Phraya River, a fusion of traditional Thai design and modern style elements, and the perfect place to enjoy a stay with all the amenities and the "Venice of the East" with all your senses. The elegant luxury hotel has been wowing guests from all over the world with its spectacular view of the river and the skyline for more than 140 years.

 

Equally breathtaking is the setting for the most important – the sporting – part of the BMW Golf Cup World Final: the Alpine Golf Club. The global winners of the biggest international tournament series for amateur golfers will be following in famous footsteps as Tiger Woods has celebrated a notable title here in the Alpine Golf Cup, when he won the Johnnie Walker Classic in 2000. The 18 excellently maintained fairways at the Alpine Golf Club are characterised by lightning-fast greens, undulating fairways, and a Ron Garl design that is as challenging as it is spectacular. It is not without reason that this golf course is regarded as the best in Bangkok.

PROGRAMME.

The World Final of the BMW Golf Cup International is so much more than a golf tournament. With their guests, the world finalists will enjoy an unforgettable supporting programme and exclusive evening events: Teeing off with a welcome evening and drawing to a close with the gala dinner.

REGULATIONS.

Please note that the regulations are subject to change.

 

Playing Handicap:
Since there are still various procedures despite the new World Handicap System, we want to ensure fair competition by defining a special system for all competitors for the World Final. The Playing Handicap will be defined by the German Golf Association based on the current handicap, the results at the national final, and/or the last 10 tournament rounds.

 

Individual Rankings:

Three rounds (Stableford, net) will be played according to the golf rules of the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews, and the course rules at Alpine Golf Club. If players are tied at the top of the leaderboard after 54 holes, the winner will be determined using the countback method over the last 36 holes (rounds 3 and 2), then 18 (round 3), 9 (round 3, fairways 10-18), 6 (round 3, fairways 13-18), 3 (round 3, fairways 16-18), 2 (round 3, fairways 17&18), and finally 1 hole (round 3, fairway 18).

 

Nations’ Rankings:
The individual net scores of the competitors from each country will be aggregated to create a nations ranking. Positions with the same scores will be determined using the countback method over the last 36, 18, 9, 6, 3, 2, 1 holes (see above). The top three teams will receive a prize.
