Robert Karlsson


Residence: Monaco
DOB: 09/03/1969 		Robert Karlsson is probably the best golfer to come out of Sweden. He turned professional in 1989 and has seven European Tour wins to his name – including the BMW International (1997), Belgacom Open (1999), Spanish Open (2001) and Omega European Masters (2002). His best year, however, was 2006 when he won the Welsh Open at Celtic Manor and the Deutsche Bank Players Championship of Europe. These wins helped him to finish the year 4th in the European Order of Merit – and also secured him a place alongside fellow Swede Henrik Stenson in Woosie’s Ryder Cup team at the K Club. As of writing (June 2007) Karlsson is 32nd in the World Golf Rankings.

 2007  BMW PGA Championship

Between 24th and 27th May 2007, the BMW PGA Championship was played out on a rain-lashed West Course at Wentworth in Surrey. Traditionally, the PGA attracts one of the strongest fields on the European Tour and this time was no exception with Vijay Singh, Ernie Els, Michael Campbell and others all making the trip across the pond. It was not, however, one of the better known superstars who walked off with the trophy and 725,000 Euro first prize, but Anders Hansen from Denmark who holed a 25 foot birdie putt on the first sudden-death play-off hole against England’s Justin Rose. This was only Hansen’s second victory on Tour – bizarrely the only other win was the same tournament – then called the Volvo PGA – five years earlier in 2002.
