Patrick Reed
Earlier this year, Patrick Reed announced a return to Golfclub München Eichenried after a successful finish at his first BMW International Open in 2024, where he finished T13. And a lot seems to work in his favor this season, especially after his 2025 LIV Golf Dallas win. Considered one of the most consistent performers, Reed achieved three top 10 finishes at LIV Golf before his Dallas win.
Aside from his outing in the 2025 season, we can also look at his other stats ahead of the 2025 BMW International Open. In the 2025 season, Patrick Reed ranks T29 in fairway hit percentage, hitting 57.94% of his fairways. His greens in regulation percentage stands at 68.72%, which puts him T17, while his putting average of 1.61 ranks him T19. With an average driving distance of 308.2 yards, placing him 28th, Reed has the skills to excel at Golfclub München Eichenried as he aims for an even better performance on the DP World Tour.
Rasmus Neergaard-Petersen
Neergaard-Petersen has recently achieved impressive results, including a T12 finish at the U.S. Open. Despite missing the cut at the 2025 PGA Championship, he secured second place at the 2025 Puerto Rico Open and finished T22 at the 2025 Valspar Championship. This week, Rasmus Hojgaard is poised to contend at Golfclub München Eichenried, where his driving accuracy and long game will serve him well. The course, known for its challenging layout and well-maintained greens, tends to favor players who demonstrate greater accuracy.
And that’s all thanks to the stats working in his favor. In the 2025 season, Neergaard-Petersen ranks 22nd in driving accuracy, hitting 64.85% of his fairways. He excels in greens in regulation, sitting 10th with an impressive 71.85%. His stroke average of 70.27 places him 14th overall. He is likely to give some of his best performances at Golfclub München Eichenried in his search for his maiden DP World Tour win.

Notably, he secured fourth-place finishes at both the 2025 LIV Golf Singapore and the 2025 LIV Golf Adelaide, showcasing his skill and consistency. The same skills and consistency are likely to help him achieve another top 10 finish in the 2025 season at the 2025 BMW International Open.When considering Puig’s other stats, the 2025 BMW International Open appears poised for a solid performance from David Puig. He ranks 32nd in driving accuracy, hitting 57.44% of his fairways, which is essential for effectively navigating the course.
