Nicolas Colsaerts has always been one of the great characters on the DP World Tour.
Not only has he grown in popularity with his powerful style of play, success and Ryder Cup exploits, but he also has an infectious personality.
He is a three-time winner on the formerly-named European Tour, the first of which came at the Volvo China Open in 2011.
