The winners of the three completed Global Swings on the 2025 Race to Dubai will tee it up together when the BMW International Open gets under way on Thursday.
John Parry, Laurie Canter and Keita Nakajima will get going at 12.40pm from the first at Golfclub München Eichenried, where another Swing champion will be crowned on Sunday.
The European Swing concludes here in Germany before the Closing Swing gets under way next week at the Genesis Scottish Open, with the five Global Swings making up Phase One of the 2025 Race to Dubai.
The winner of each Swing earns a place in every event of Phase Two - the Back 9 - and a US$200,000 bonus, with the top 60 after the Back 9 then advancing to the DP World Tour Play-Offs.
Parry's recent climb back to the top of the game has been remarkable, with three wins on last season's HotelPlanner Tour sealing his return to the DP World Tour and a victory in Mauritius, his first on Golf's Global Tour for over 14 years, helping him take the Global Swing.
Countryman Canter started the International Swing with a third-place finish at the Hero Dubai Desert Classic before winning the Bapco Energies Bahrain Championship and finishing second in South Africa to take the International Swing with an event to spare, a run of form that helped to earn him a Masters debut.

And while Nakajima could not quite get a win under his belt on the Asian Swing, back-to-back runner-up finishes in Singapore and India gave him a platform from which to top the Rankings.
Frenchman Martin Couvra is the man to catch on the European Swing but he can still be reined in by six players including fellow first-time winners on the Swing Kristoffer Reitan, Nicolai von Dellingshausen, Adrien Saddier and Connor Syme.
