2025 BMW International Open betting tips: Our expert’s top picks in Munich

Resident tipster Tom Jacobs picks out his top BMW International Open betting tips ahead of the DP World Tour event.

Not to be confused with the BMW PGA Championship in September, the BMW International Open is the first of two annual DP World Tour events sponsored by the German automobile giants. And while the prize fund may be dwarfed by its Rolex Series cousin, the International Open’s list of champions is just as distinguished.

Sandy Lyle, Colin Montgomerie, John Daly, Lee Westwood, Ernie Els, Henrik Stenson, Martin Kaymer, and Viktor Hovland have all lifted the trophy, won last year by Scotland’s Ewen Ferguson. The man from Glasgow secured his third DPWT title with a two-stroke victory from David Micheluzzi and Jordan Smith in Munich.

But before revealing my BMW International Open betting tips for the week, here’s everything else you need to know…
