Thorbjorn Olesen

Thorbjorn Olesen is one of the best golf players Denmark has ever had. He started his professional career in 2008, playing in Vaerlose Golf Club. He had his first major international breakthrough in 2012 when he won his first European Tour title; the Sicilian Open. That victory also secured him the title as youngest Danish winner on the European Tour ever.

This win in 2012 also secured him two awards: ´Golf Player of the Year’ in Denmark and the oldest sports prize in Denmark ‘Upcoming Star in Denmark’.

In 2014 he won his second European Tour title in Perth and in 2015 he added a third title to his impressive resumé, winning the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship. 2016 was no exception for the Danish golf star and he won his fourth title, the Turkish Airlines Open. Both with his third and fourth title he wrote history yet again as youngest Danish player ever to win three and four European Tour titles. Later in 2016 Olesen wrote Danish history yet again when he and Soren Kjeldsen won the World Cup of Golf.

In 2018 he won his fifth tournament, the Italian Open and he also qualified for the Ryder Cup 2018, being part of Team Europe. It was the first time in history that two Danish players had been a part of the team at the same time. Thomas Bjorn was Captain of the team in 2018. Team Europe ended up winning the tournament.

In May 2022 he won the Betfred British Masters, a tournament which is part of the DP World Tour. It was the 6th time in his career he won a title in the European Tour. He has had an amazing start to 2023, winning Thailand Classic and his 7th European Tour title. He is currently ranked as no. 86 in the Official World Golf Ranking.
