Description
Per-Ulrik Johansson is a Swedish professional golfer. Like many European golfers he took a golf scholarship in the United States as sports scholarships do not exist in Europe. He attended the Arizona State University and was a member of the same NCAA Championship winning team as Phil Mickelson.
Johansson turned professional later in 1990 and won a European Tour card on his first visit to Qualifying School. He was the Sir Henry Cotton Rookie of the Year in 1991. In his first ten seasons on the European Tour he made the top twenty of the Order of Merit four times, with a best ranking of eleventh in 1997. He won five European Tour events between 1991 and 1997 and has featured in the top 50 of the Official World Golf Rankings.
In 2001, Johansson moved to the United States to play on the PGA Tour, after successfully negotiating the 2000 Qualifying School. He was a member of the PGA Tour for four seasons, but failed to make the same impact as he had in Europe. His best PGA Tour finish is tied sixth, which by coincidence he achieved once in each of those four seasons. In 2001 and 2002 he only just held onto his card via his money list placing.
