Hollick Claims Victory with an Eagle Finish

It was a finale for the history books: South African rookie Michael Hollick was still three strokes behind his compatriot Hennie du Plessis with two holes to go. With a Birdie on the 17th and a sensational Eagle on the 18th, the 39-year-old turned the tournament around at the last second and secured his first title on the DP World Tour with a total score of 270 strokes (18 under Par). For the winner of the 2026 BMW International Open, this meant a prize check for 445,468 euros.

Du Plessis, who was on course for victory for much of the tournament and finished with the best round of the day (66, -6), had to settle for second place and 288,244 euros in prize money. A Bogey on the 17th and a Par on the 18th—it just wasn’t enough in the end. Bernd Wiesberger of Austria rounded out the podium with -14 (274 strokes) and 165,085 euros in prize money.

EAGLES FOR EDUCATION: 57,000 euros for the Philipp Lahm Foundation

In addition to the tournament prize money, the BMW Group continued its EAGLES FOR EDUCATION initiative in 2026: For every Eagle scored, 1,000 euros were donated to the Philipp Lahm Foundation for Sports and Education. With a total of 57 Eagles recorded during the tournament week, this amounts to 57,000 euros, which will benefit children and young people in the areas of physical activity, healthy nutrition, and personal development.

The 38th BMW International Open will take place next year from May 26 to 30, 2027, at the Munich Eichenried Golf Club.
