One of the biggest names of the mid-2000s and 2010s, Henrik Stenson was a Swedish assassin.
Nicknamed “The Iceman,” Stenson has 25 worldwide wins including a 2016 Open Championship duel against Phil Mickelson.
Turning professional in 1998, Stenson joined the European Tour full-time in 2001. Wasting no time, the Swede earned his first pro win at Benson & Hedges International Open the same year.
Other career highlights include wins at the 2007 WGC Matchplay, 2009 Players Championship, 2013 Tour Championship and nine top-5 major finishes.
A five-time Ryder Cup participant, Stenson boasts a 10-7-2 record and even clinched the winning point in his debut for the Euros in 2006. He was slated to be captain of the Europeans for the 2022 matches, before that invitation was rescinded on July 20, 2022, in advance of his expected move to LIV Golf.
