Graeme McDowell will be among the headline acts for the Porsche European Open when he takes centre stage at the Beckenbauer Golf Course, Bad Griesbach, Germany, from September 24-27.
The 2010 US Open Champion and Ryder Cup hero, one of Europe’s most successful and charismatic professionals is always a huge hit with the fans and is delighted to see the return of one of Europe’s most prestigious titles.
“It is a fantastic feeling to see the European Open on the tournament schedule for the European Tour,” he said. “I've often played this tournament and all the players always considered it to be one of the most prestigious events of the entire season. I'm thrilled that Porsche AG is on board as the title sponsor. Not just because Porsche is such an exceptional brand, but also because it is the first time the company is getting involved in professional golf.”
Speaking about the Bad Griesbach venue, McDowell added: “I have heard great things about Europe's largest golf resort, Bad Griesbach, and am already looking forward to being there in September.
Some of the most famous players in the world have won this tournament and it would be the most amazing achievement for me to take the trophy after four rounds.” - McDowell
GMac, as he is known by his fans, achieved his greatest success in 2010 by winning the US Open at Pebble beach, one of ten European Tour titles on his CV. He has also been on the last four Ryder Cup teams, securing the winning point in 2010 at Celtic Manor.
