Bern Ritthammer first made it onto the Challenge tour in 2010. Two years later, the Bavarian, who is also a passionate footballer, was playing on the European Tour for the first time. Unfortunately, he was unable to hang on to his Tour card. However, Ritthammer bounced back with victories at the Made in Denmark Challenge, the Irish Challenge and the 2016 NBO Golf Classic Grand Final, earning him the right to play in the top tier of European golf again.

BMW and German pro Bernd Ritthammer have been partners since the start of 2017. As a “Friend of the Brand”, the Munich resident drives a BMW 325d Touring and represents BMW on the European Tour.
