The European Tour has lifted the suspension imposed on Ryder Cup player Thorbjørn Olesen after court proceedings involving the Dane were delayed until December 2021.
Olesen had faced spending more than two years away from the European Tour. Now, he could appear in its resumption event, the British Masters at Close House, later this month.
At a hearing last month, Olesen’s trial – originally due to take place in May – was scheduled for December 6, 2021 because of delays associated with the coronavirus pandemic. Talks subsequently took place between Olesen’s representatives and the European Tour.
In a statement, the Tour said: “Due to this significant and unparalleled delay in the legal process, the European Tour has agreed that his suspension be lifted with immediate effect, allowing him to compete while he continues to contest the case. This will be reviewed following the conclusion of the legal process, but as this is an ongoing legal matter the European Tour will be making no further comment at this time.”
