Tapio PULKKANEN

About

Became the first Finn to be crowned HotelPlanner Tour Number One in 2017. Twice a winner on the HotelPlanner, claiming victories at the 2017 Kazakhstan Open and 2026 Danish Golf Challenge.  He topped the Rankings on the satellite Nordic Golf League in 2015, earning him a place on the HotelPlanner Tour for 2016. Is known for wearing a trilby hat which he says was inspired by the captain’s choice of headwear at his home club. Was introduced to the game by his brother at the age of nine. Did not make his way in to the national side until he was 16, and then went on to become a national champion in his native Finland on two occasions. Says his earliest golfing memory was making a hole in one at the age of 12 – holing out from 164 yards with a five iron.
