Thomas Bjørn
Transform golf teams with Thomas Bjørn, speaker and leadership expert. Thomas works with organisations to develop team cohesion and strategic decision-making, leveraging his European Tour success and extensive Ryder Cup leadership experience.


Thomas Bjørn is Denmark's most successful golfer and the captain who led Europe to victory at the 2018 Ryder Cup. He speaks on leadership, high performance, and keeping a team calm and united under pressure.
Thomas captained Europe to a decisive win over the United States at Le Golf National outside Paris in 2018. As a player he won 15 times on the European Tour with 94 top ten finishes, and he chaired the European Tour's tournament committee for a decade from 2007.
His leadership was built over years in team roles. Thomas captained Continental Europe at the 2009 Seve Trophy and served as a Ryder Cup vice-captain in 2004, 2010, 2012, and 2016 under Bernhard Langer, Colin Montgomerie, José María Olazábal, and Darren Clarke. That gives him a detailed view of how captains pick, prepare, and manage players who are used to competing alone.
Audiences come away with a practical understanding of how to turn individual high performers into a team, how to make selection and strategy decisions under scrutiny, and how a calm presence from the leader shapes the way a group performs on the biggest stage.
Book Thomas Bjørn for a winning Ryder Cup captain's account of leadership, teamwork, and performance when the pressure is highest.
Thomas brings a wealth of experience from the golfing world, showcasing unparalleled leadership skills and a proven track record of success. His journey from practising shots into a birdbath to captaining teams in prestigious tournaments exemplifies dedication, resilience, and strategic thinking. Booking Thomas as a speaker will inspire your team or business with actionable insights on achieving excellence and fostering a winning culture.

No. PepTalk adds no booking fee, so you pay the speaker's fee and nothing beyond it. The service, from shortlist through to contracts and event-day logistics, is included. For repeat or multi-event bookings, PepTalk can agree preferential rates with your procurement team.
Share your event date, audience, format, objectives and budget, and PepTalk sends a hand-picked shortlist within 24 hours. Each suggestion comes with a profile, a fee and a recommendation on the strongest fit. Once you choose, PepTalk handles contracts, travel and logistics through to event day.
The typical fee range is the speaker's standard in-person fee in their home market, shown in their local currency. It moves with format, location, date and session length: virtual sessions and shorter slots usually cost less, while international travel and peak dates cost more. Send your brief to PepTalk and the team will confirm the exact fee in your currency.
Not all of them, and it makes no difference to your booking. PepTalk's network of 15,000+ speakers covers talent the team works with directly alongside speakers represented by agents and agencies worldwide. PepTalk approaches the speaker, negotiates the fee and handles contracting either way.
Three to six months ahead is comfortable for most events, and 12 months is better for large conferences, peak-season dates or one specific in-demand speaker. Shorter timelines are workable, and PepTalk regularly fills last-minute and replacement bookings within days. Availability is the constraint, so get in touch as soon as you have a date.
