Across the 54-year history of the DP World Tour, there have been 16 winners from Denmark.
With his victory on home soil at the Danish Golf Championship on Sunday, Jeff Winther claimed his second DP World Tour title to become the 11th multiple winner from his country.
Winther is the second Dane to win this season on the Race to Dubai, after Rasmus Neergaard-Petersen entered the winner's circle on the DP World Tour for the first time at the Crown Australian Open in December.
Thomas Bjørn, regarded as one of Europe's greatest players, is the most successful Danish golfer with 15 DP World Tour wins.
Thorbjørn Olesen has the next most with eight, followed by Rasmus Højgaard with five.
