BMW GOLF CUP WORLD FINAL.
2-7 March 2025. Alpine Golf Club, Bangkok, Thailand.
As the organiser and title partner of notable pro golf tournaments on all the major world tours, BMW is well-known by vast numbers of golf fans around the world. The corporation is also involved in amateur sport – since 1982. The BMW Golf Cup is the biggest international tournament series for amateur golfers, comprising national competitors in around 40 countries per season and the World Final in which the individual titles are contested in three leagues. The individual results are also incorporated into a team ranking.

ONCE IN A LIFETIME.
Feeling like a pro at a Majors tournament – this dream shared by amateur golfers comes true every year for the national winners of the BMW Golf Cup who qualify for the World Final of the biggest amateur tournament series in the world (around 100,000 competitors per season).
BMW Golfsport is excited to host the world finalists and their guests for an unforgettable week. Experiencing Bangkok, meeting golf enthusiasts from a variety of countries and cultures, one of the most beautiful golf resorts on earth – all this and much more make the World Final a "once-in-a-lifetime" experience.
A FIRST.











Thailand, the land of smiles, is a mosaic of vivid colours, breathtaking scenery, and a deeply ingrained culture that captivates everyone who visits. From the bustling streets of Bangkok to the quiet picture-perfect beaches of the islands, Thailand offers an amazing variety that sets visitors’ hearts on fire. Prepare to be enchanted by the beauty of Thailand at the World Final and discover why this exotic destination is so popular with travellers from all over the world.
COUNTRY AND PEOPLE.
Thailand is famous for its warm hospitality and the centuries-old traditions that shape everyday life. Thai culture is a rich tapestry of Buddhist customs, royal traditions, and a vibrant folk culture. Learn the art of Thai dance and traditional music and discover local handicrafts such as filigree silk weaving and the production of unique ceramics.
Bangkok – a city that never sleeps – is an unusual mix of modern comfort and rich history. Visit the magnificent Grand Palace and the shimmering temples such as Wat Arun and Wat Pho to gain insight into the spiritual side of the metropolis. Indulge in the local cuisine: from street vendors to high-end restaurants that serve modern Thai fusion cuisine. Bangkok is also a shopper’s paradise, both in impressive shopping centres and at bustling markets such as Chatuchak, where you can find everything from arts and crafts to clothing.


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.

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).
