BIRTHPLACE

The Swede showcased his immense potential with a breakthrough season on the Challenge Tour in 2016. Anchored by a maiden victory at the Le Vaudreuil Golf Challenge, he navigated his way to an impressive seventh-place finish in the Rankings.

 

Building upon this success, Björk continued to make waves in the golfing world and eventually claimed his maiden DP World Tour victory at the 2018 Volvo China Open. With a remarkable final round score of 65, he emerged triumphant from a tightly contested six-way tie atop the leaderboard. Throughout the tournament, he displayed a remarkable level of consistency, making a mere four bogeys and finishing an impressive 18 under par.

 

However, Björk’s journey to professional success began long before his triumph in China. In 2012, he made history as the first golfer to list himself through Trade in Sports, an athlete exchange platform. This groundbreaking decision allowed him to fund the launch of his professional career by committing to share 10% of his winnings with investors, showcasing both his entrepreneurial spirit.

 

Prior to fully committing himself to golf, Björk showcased his versatility as an outstanding tennis player. As one of Sweden’s top ten junior players, he possessed exceptional talent in the sport. However, his passion for golf eventually won, leading him to pursue a career on the fairways.
