Joachim Brandt Hansen (born 18 August 1990) is a Danish professional golfer who currently plays on the European Tour.
Early life and amateur career Hansen was born in Hillerød. He took up golf at the age of 12 enjoyed a successful amateur career which culminated with representing his country, and being the lowest-scoring player in the 2010 Eisenhower Trophy.
Professional career Hansen turned professional following this performance, earning a place on the Challenge Tour after three runner-up finishes on the third-tier Nordic League in 2011.
A further three runner-up finishes at Challenge Tour level, during Hansen's rookie 2012 season, earned him fourth place in the season-ending rankings and a further promotion to the European Tour. In 2013, Hansen managed to finish in a tie for third at the Aberdeen Asset Management Scottish Open, where he briefly led late in the final round despite carding a quadruple-bogey nine at his second hole.
In 2019, Hansen finished second at the Amundi Open de France, one stroke behind Nicolas Colsaerts.
Hansen's first victory on the European Tour came in November 2020, where he shot a final round 67 to win the Joburg Open. He won the Aviv Dubai Championship in November 2021 to claim his second victory on the European Tour.
