Peter Hanson – Biography

Peter has always shown world class qualities throughout his amateur and professional career. His impressive amateur career was rounded off by winning the English Stroke Play Championship at Formby in 1998 and representing Sweden in the Eisenhower Trophy that same year.

Peter has consistently improved his status on the European Tour with his maiden win coming in 2005 when he won the Jazztel Open de España. In 2007 he had eight top 10 finishes and finished 20th in the Order of Merit. He also competed in 3 majors making the cut in all.

In 2008 Peter had 3 top 10 finishes and secured his first win in 3 years where he took the SAS Masters title in front of his home fans.  In 2009 his consistent form continued with 4 top ten finishes including 3rd place at the HSBC Champions.

2010 was the breakthrough year for Peter with two European Tour wins – firstly at the Mallorca Open and then the Czech Open, a win that propelled Peter into an automatic place on the winning 2010 European Ryder Cup team.  Having also finished 8th at the WGC Bridgestone Invitational in the US and 13th at the season ending Dubai World Championship, Peter proved that he can compete with the world’s best in Europe and in the US. 

In 2011 Peter continued to show that he is one of Europe’s most consistent performers, finishing inside the top 10 at nine events on the European Tour.  This included a 2nd place in Bahrain, a 3rd place in Hong Kong and 4th at the season ending Dubai World Championships. He also had his best Major finish to date in 2011, coming 7th at the US Open. Having finished the year ranked 13 on the Race to Dubai and 41st in the World, Peter is exempt in all the Majors and WGC events for 2012.
