World Tour by DP - Golf experts Siem and Kieffer embark on their next endeavor.
Golfers Marcel Siem and Maximilian Kieffer are set to compete in the European Open near Hamburg, with a top prize of $2.5 million up for grabs. The event takes place from Thursday to Sunday at the Green-Eagle facility in Winsen, Lower Saxony. In the previous year, they shared second place, trailing winner Tom McKibbin from Northern Ireland.
In an interview, Kieffer, 33, recounted, "The atmosphere last year was just fantastic." Siem, 10-years-older at 33, agreed: "I've never experienced such an overwhelming atmosphere at a German tournament - it was by far the best tournament I've been to." Kieffer placed 34th at the Soudal Open in Belgium last week, while Siem missed the cut after two rounds.
Maximilian Rottluff emerged as the top German contender in the previous competition, placing 24th at the Green-Eagle's Par-73 course. Joining him will be fellow countrymen Anton Albers of Hamburg Golf Club and local prodigy Tiger Christensen. The course is notoriously nicknamed "The Green Monster" due to its considerable difficulty.
The last German victory on the DP World Tour occurred 16 years ago, when Martin Kaymer won the International Open in Munich. Kaymer is now transitioning to the rival LIV Tour.
Danny Willett, an English golfer who took home the 2016 British Masters title, is among the noteworthy players in this year's European Open. He expressed his appreciation for the crowd's support in Germany: "We're always warmly greeted by fans in Germany. I love playing in Germany." Willett is 36 years old.
