From Newsroom.Porsche, 31/5/22:
Europe’s top young players, the twins Nicolai and Rasmus Højgaard, launched the tournament week of the Porsche European Open 2022 with a spectacular event atop the Elbphilharmonie Hamburg. This year’s DP World Tour combines top-notch golf and a unique Porsche experience.
Beautiful swings in a magnificent setting: Nicolai and Rasmus Højgaard opened the 2022 Porsche European Open tournament week with a chipping contest on the roof of the Elbphilharmonie. The talented 21-year-olds thereby unified Hamburg’s landmark on the River Elbe with the prestigious DP World Tour tournament, during which world-class golf will combine with a unique Porsche experience once again.
The brothers, who together have already celebrated five victories on the DP World Tour, aimed at a target 15 metres away – a bull’s eye made of special sand framed by 300 artificial grass tiles.
After several extra shots were needed to determine the winner, Rasmus eventually won the ‘brotherly’ contest against his two-minutes-older sibling.
The event was staged about 120 metres above ground, on top of the Porsche-sponsored concert hall.
“That really was a pretty unique experience,” said Rasmus Højgaard afterwards. “Events are only seldom kicked off at such a special place.”
His brother was also amazed by the breath-taking view. “We first visited Hamburg on a school trip in the seventh year and have been back many times since. But we’ve never seen the city like this. It is quite spectacular here.” Read more
