The imposing figure of Swede, Robert Karlsson has been one of the most steady on the European Tour in the last decade. The 43-year-old has 11 European Tour titles under his belt and in 2011 successfully applied for a US PGA Tour card. Karlsson has enjoyed consistent results in the major championships, recording fourth-placed finishes in the 2008 U.S. Open and the 2011 PGA Championship respectively. Karlsson's approach to the game is said to be methodical and analytical, which explains why Karlsson's nickname on the circuit is "The Scientist". A brief look at Robert Karlsson's 'what's in the bag?' shows the Swede endorses Taylor Made Golf clubs and is another to put his weight behind the R1 driver.
