Veteran Danish golfer Søren Kjeldsen etched his name into DP World Tour history as he made his 700th career appearance at the European Open at Green Eagle Golf Courses on Wednesday.
Kjeldsen, 49, becomes only the fourth player in the history of the Tour to reach the milestone, joining an elite group that includes David Howell (723), Miguel Ángel Jiménez, and Sam Torrance.
Having turned professional in 1995, Kjeldsen’s career now spans four decades, and features four DP World Tour titles, including the 2008 Volvo Masters and the 2015 Irish Open. Known for his consistency, professionalism, and resilience, Kjeldsen has long been a respected figure on the international golfing circuit.
“It’s been an incredible journey,” Kjeldsen said. “To reach 700 events is something I’m very proud of, but I’m not finished yet. I still love the game, and I’m looking ahead to chasing David Howell’s record.”
- DP World Tour Appearances: 700 (as of European Open 2025)

Kjeldsen’s latest appearance reinforces his legacy as one of the most enduring players in European golf. Though past his peak, he continues to compete with characteristic grit, aiming to surpass Howell’s 723-event record in the coming seasons.
The milestone appearance at Green Eagle was met with warm applause and recognition from fans and fellow players alike, many of whom praised his longevity and commitment to the sport.
As Kjeldsen continues his pursuit of the most appearances in DP World Tour history, his dedication stands as an inspiration to both seasoned professionals and emerging talents.
