Thomas Bjørn (born 18 February 1971) is a professional golfer from Denmark who plays on the European Tour. He is the most successful Danish golfer to have played the game having won fifteen tournaments worldwide on the European Tour. In 1997 he also became the first Dane to qualify for a European Ryder Cup team. Bjørn is remembered for his collapse at Royal St. George's during the 2003 Open Championship, when he led by two strokes with three holes to play, but took three attempts to get out of a greenside bunker on the par three 16th, handing the tournament to Ben Curtis.
Professional career
Bjørn started his career playing on the Challenge Tour from 1993 to 1995. In 1995 he won four tournaments on the Challenge Tour to earn his card for his debut year on the European Tour in 1996. Bjørn made his breakthrough immediately winning his maiden tour title in his debut season at the Loch Lomond World Invitational. He became the first golfer from Denmark to win a tournament on the European Tour. He finished the 1996 season placed tenth on the Order of Merit. The follow up season in 1997 was steady with a number of top ten finishes without a win, however Bjørn did not have long to wait until his next win arrived. He won early in the 1998 season in Perth, Australia taking the Heineken Classic for his second European Tour title. Despite an over par final round of 74, Bjørn won by a single stroke from Ian Woosnam. A couple months later after a five week break from competitive golf, Bjørn won for the second time in 1998 at the Peugeot Open de Espana after a final round 66 took him to 21 under and one stroke ahead of the chasing pack. He later said “I didn’t really expect this after taking five weeks off, but when your confidence has gone like mine did after winning in Perth, it just shows it’s best to take a break and regroup." After his two wins he finished the year 6th on the Order of Merit.

Loved the challenge of it. Loved the experience of it, and the lads have made me look incredibly good at it. The way they played was first class ...Thomas Bjørn should have been a vice captain, and I think he was a bit sick all week ... We missed Nicolai.
Huggett’s love of the match could not be exaggerated ... “I was vice-captain to Thomas Bjørn in Paris in 2018 and Brian was an integral part of a motivational video we played to the players on the eve of the contest,” Donald said ... .
Thomas Bjørn ... Nicolas Horder is way down in 44th yet he finished 19th in Poland last week, and the ProGolf Tour remains an excellent feeder circuit, through which the likes of Thomas Rosenmuller, Sami ...
Thomas Bjørn, who is serving as the Tournament Chairman for this year’s event, spoke of his pride in anticipation of seeing a strong group of Danish competitors at the tournament ... said Bjørn.
Supplied ... This is without question a much cleaner and simpler qualification system than the ones utilised in previous years and we thank Luke and his Vice Captains Edoardo Molinari and Thomas Bjørn for their vital input over the past few months.”. .
As well as having countryman and friend Olesen playing alongside him for Denmark, Højgaard will also be able to lean on the captain of his country’s Olympic golf team - Thomas Bjørn ... said Bjørn.
Former Dubai Desert Classic champion, Thomas Bjørn, who is also playing this week, credited the two-time Masters Tournament winner for reaching untapped demographics as he paid a glowing tribute to the European great.
