Danish Golfers

The best Danish golfers of the world ranking era

Ranked by the highest world ranking each player reached, then by weeks spent inside the world top 10. Every figure comes from the weekly world ranking itself — not from an editor's opinion. Showing the top 50 of 139.

The Official World Golf Ranking began in April 1986, so this covers the ranking era. Players whose best years came earlier are missing or appear well below their true standing.
