The most successful Danish golfer of all time, Thomas Bjørn has claimed 15 European Tour titles to date. Back in 1996 Bjørn became the first Dane to win a European Tour event and undoubtedly trailblazed the way for Danish golf.  

During the 1980s and 1990s, Ian ‘Woosie’ Woosnam was a name never far away from the top of the leaderboard. A winner on both the PGA and European Tours, the highlight of his career was undoubtedly his Masters’ triumph in 1991.

A serial winner on tour and on senior tours, four top 5 finishes in the Open, a Ryder Cup captaincy and a successful battle against ill health represent the strength of Mark James.

Many golfers are successful. Some win numerous Majors, some spend weeks as world number one, some win on all tours globally. Not only is Paul Lawrie a successful golfer, but he has two iconic golf moments that golf fans will remember forever.

John Daly won the 1995 Open at St Andrews, beating Constantino Rocca in a play-off. Only one shot further behind and in his first full season on the European Tour was New Zealand’s Michael Campbell. Campbell had been two shots ahead at the start of the final round, but this valuable experience would hold him in good stead ten years later.

Paul is not only the first Irishman to captain the Ryder Cup team, but he is also a winning captain, victorious at the 2014 Ryder Cup at Gleneagles.

"It means a lot to spend time with passionate golf fans, sharing my thoughts and knowledge on leadership, performance and creating a winning team culture based on a player and as a victorious Ryder Cup Captain"

Tom Lehman is the only player in history to be voted ‘Player of Year’ on all three tours operated by the PGA Tour. This is a testament to the consistent nature of his golf, where on the PGA Tour, he not only won five times, but was runner up 19 times in between 1992 and 2006.

The name Jean van de Velde is synonymous with French golf.   Arguably Jean has done more to promote the game in France than any other golfer.  

“This is a fantastic development for French golf and we are so excited to be hosting the Legends Open de France later this year."
