International Sports Promotion Society (ISPS HANDA), the leading charity supporting blind and disabled golf, has today announced that Danish golfer Thorbjørn Olesen, will be joining their line-up of global ambassadors. Thorbjørn will be using an ISPS HANDA branded Tour bag this year as he competes around the world.

Four-time European Tour winner Olesen, has enjoyed considerable success at ISPS events having captured the 2014 ISPS HANDA Perth International and 2016 ISPS HANDA World Cup of Golf with compatriot Søren Kjeldsen. He also claimed victory at the 2016 Turkish Airlines Open on the European Tour last November, following on from his T2 finish at the BMW International Open and the Commercial Bank Qatar Masters earlier on in the season. Olesen also has solid performances at the Omega Dubai Desert Classic and the Shenzhen International where he finished in tied 8th at both.

Commenting on the announcement, Founder of ISPS, Dr Haruhisa Handa said, “We’re thrilled to have such amazing talent join our ambassador team at ISPS and I’m certain that he will help us spread our message to the world. At ISPS we believe in the
power of sport and its ability to change lives and Thorbjørn perfectly represent our values, not only through his sporting excellence but with his ability to inspire others both on and off the golf course.”

Thorbjørn Olesen said, “It’s always a pleasure to play at ISPS HANDA events, especially in Australia where I have fond memories having won in Perth in 2013 and at the World Cup last year. The format this week looks extremely interesting and I’m looking forward to helping ISPS spread their message around the world this year.”
