Big man at 6ft 5ins but has made little impression at Majors. Two victories in 2006 at Celtic Manor and in the Deutsche Bank Players’ Championship of Europe gave him seven titles in total and made him Sweden’s most prolific European Tour champion, surpassing the record of Anders Forsbrand.

Won five titles between 1995 and 2002 but has since revamped his approach to life and golf.

Hired Swedish coach, Annchristine Lundstrom, and has moved into the World’s top thirty. Made an impressive Ryder Cup debut aged 37 last year at the K Club.

Lovely swing but after a 77 and 81 at Oakmont, and a quiet start to 2007, Karlsson is unlikely to be a threat in Scotland.
