Thorbjorn Olesen: "I Would Like To Apologise To All The Danes"

“I am incredibly sad about what has happened and would like to apologise to all the Danes who have supported me for so many years,” the 2018 Ryder Cupper said.

“I basically haven't played golf in a year. I played for a week in November in Spain, and then I've been playing for the last couple of weeks – that’s it.

“Since I started playing, I've never had anything like that where I haven't played in such a long time. It’s hard.

“I can only say that the trial is set for December 2021 and I can't say that much anymore.

"I hope, of course, that I will be able to come out and play again.”

Olesen says he is hopeful of playing again soon on the European Tour, where he is currently suspended "while the case continues," which by the sound of it could mean he doesn't play until 2022.
