This is usually the kind of thing I post in the middle of August, but for a little relief from the intensity of free agency (I told you that the Wings would focus on defensive depth, improving their bottom-six forwards and decide whether to pursue a back-up goaltender, and that’s what they did!)…
Moritz Seider and Tim Stuetzle (who might very well be the NHL’s 1st and 2nd German-born team captains this fall) took part in a “Pro-Am” ahead of the BMW International Open in Munich, Germany today. BMW’s press arm posted both German and English-language press releases about the event…
Despite changeable weather conditions, anticipation for the 37th BMW International Open (July 1–5, 2026) was already palpable at Golfclub München Eichenried on Wednesday. In high spirits, numerous celebrities from the worlds of sports and entertainment joined the professionals for the traditional Pro-Am tournament. Due to poor weather, play could only begin around midday and was therefore shortened to nine holes.
Football legends Philipp Lahm and Oliver Bierhoff (both GER), FC Bayern Munich Basketball players Andreas Obst and Johannes Voigtmann, as well as NHL stars Moritz Seider and Tim Stützle (all GER) all demonstrated that they are just as capable with a golf ball as they are with their respective sports. Alongside BMW M Motorsport works driver Jordan Pepper (RSA), seven-time Olympic champions Tobias Wendl and Tobias Arlt (luge), as well as two-time Olympic bobsleigh champion Johannes Lochner (all GER), also teed it up. They were joined by television and film stars including Kai Wiesinger and Kostja Ullmann (both GER).
So here are Seider and Stuetzle playing golf!
