Henrik Olof Stenson[2] (pronounced[ˈhɛ̌nːrɪkˈstěːnsɔn]; born 5 April 1976) is a Swedish professional golfer.
He is the first male Swedish and first male Nordic major champion, having won the 2016 Open Championship at Royal Troon with a major championship record score of 264. His list of wins also includes some of the other prestigious tournaments around the world; The Players Championship, WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship, the World Cup, the Tour Championship, the DP World Tour Championship Dubai, the South African Open and the Nedbank Golf Challenge. A two-time European Tour Golfer of the Year (2013 and 2016), he has spent over 300 weeks ranked in the top ten of the Official World Golf Ranking[3] and his career high world ranking of second is the best by any male Swedish golfer.
In 2013, Stenson won the U.S. PGA Tour's FedEx Cup and the European Tour's Race to Dubai, thus becoming the first player to win both and to win the season finales of both tours.[4][5][6][7][8] Stenson was named the 2023 European Ryder Cup captain, but his captaincy was later terminated.[9]

Although Stenson has not quite replicated the same feat as Donald and McIlroy, who achieved respective money list double acts in 2011 and 2012, Stenson is still the first golfer to win both play-off finales on the two tours. On the European Tour, the Race to Dubai is the money list, but in America the money list and season-ending FedExCup are separate, with Tiger Woods winning the PGA Tour money list this year. Donald said: "He has not won the money list in the US but he did win the Race to Dubai and the FedExCup, which neither Rory or myself did. Obviously that's very, very impressive. ..."

He won the season finales on both tours in the process. "The double-double," Stenson said. "That's going to take some beating in the future."
