Danish tour player Thorbjørn Olesen has signed a multi-year sponsorship deal to play a full bag of TaylorMade equipment.

Since joining the European Tour in 2011, Olesen has enjoyed six wins, including last week’s Betfred British Masters at The Belfry. Olesen also won the 2018 Italian Open, which secured his place in the European Ryder Cup team that won in Paris that same year.

“I’ve been playing TaylorMade on and off for a while now ,and I felt that the best golf I’ve played has been with TaylorMade clubs,” said Olesen. “TaylorMade’s a great company to be a part of, it’s a great team with great players. I’m proud to be associated with TaylorMade and I look forward to the future together.”

Olesen will continue to feature his Stealth Plus Carbonwood driver and P·700 series irons alongside his MG3 wedges in his TaylorMade staff bag and will continue to test TaylorMade putters and golf balls as he makes his transition into a full bag of TaylorMade equipment.

The 32-year-old Dane put the Stealth Plus driver in the bag at the beginning of the 2022 season and has already seen an increase in his average distance by eight yards versus 2021.

Adrian Rietveld, TaylorMade’s Senior Tour Manager, said: “Thorbjørn has chosen to use TaylorMade equipment for the majority of his successes in world golf. We appreciate that a player of his standard has exclusively chosen to use 14 TaylorMade clubs and a TP5 golf ball as he continues to compete at the highest level of the professional game. Thorbjørn is a superb golfer with a bright future and we look forward to supporting his undeniable potential along with his wonderful family and team around him.”
