Thorbjørn Olesen

A leading light in Denmark’s latest generation of top-flight golfers, Olesen initially rose to prominence by winning three times in 2009 and finishing fourth on the Nordic League Order of Merit. That earned him a promotion to the European Challenge Tour for 2010, where he continued his strong play, winning The Princess, recording two runner-ups and earning full privileges on the PGA European Tour.

Playing exceptional golf, the 22-year-old finished runner-up three times in 2011, placed inside the Race to Dubai top-50 and is poised for a breakthrough 2012 campaign.
