Nicolai and Rasmus have combined secured 5 DP World Tour titles since turning professional in 2019. This achievement has been done by the age of just 21 years old and both are broadly recognized as the stars of tomorrow in the world of golf.
Rasmus won his maiden DP World Tour title at the 2019 AfrAsia Bank Mauritius Open, followed just 8 months later by the 2020 ISPS HANDA UK Championship. Exactly 1 year later, he claimed the biggest win of his career at the 2021 Omega European Masters in Switzerland.
“I’m very happy that Scan Global Logistics will continue to be part of my team in the coming years as I look to continue my rise up the Official World Golf Rankings,” said Rasmus. “Since this partnership started, the whole company has been so supportive of us, and we’ve loved meeting everybody associated with SGL all over the world.”
Nicolai is a 2-time DP World Tour winner and dramatically earned his first DP World Tour title in 2021 at the DS Automobiles Italian Open. He made history by winning in back-to-back weeks with Rasmus and becoming the first ever set of brothers to do so. He stormed to victory at the 2022 Ras Al Khaimah Championship by 4 shots to earn his second main tour title and has not looked back since.
“Having Scan Global Logistics extend their partnership with myself and Rasmus is fantastic news. We have really enjoyed having them alongside us”, said Nicolai. “We have spent a lot of time off the course with their teams, as well as with their customers. It is a great fit, having the same virtues of never wavering from the fact that they want to continue to improve and be the best in their field”.
In December 2021, both Rasmus and Nicolai made history by becoming the first set of twins to rank in the Top 100 in the Official World Golf Rankings, solidifying the talk that they really are two of the hottest prospects in the golfing world.
“We are thrilled that we can continue to be a part of the journey that Rasmus and Nicolai are on in their quest to become the very best golfers in the world”, said Mads Drejer, Global COO & CCO in Scan Global Logistics. “They represent everything we strive to be, applying themselves with a humble yet ambitious and passionate attitude in everything they do. For us, this is more than just a sponsorship, and we will support and follow them passionately in the years to come. At the same time, it provides our customers and colleagues around the world a fantastic opportunity to gain insight into the lives of two of the very best athletes in the world.”
SGL has sponsored Nicolai and Rasmus since 2020 as part of a defined ambition of supporting young talents on their journey to become established world elite players.
