Robert Karlsson (born 3 September 1969, St. Malm,
Sweden) is a Swedish golfer who plays on the
European Tour. His father was a greenkeeper. He
turned professional in 1989 and qualified for
membership of the European Tour at the 1990
Qualifying School. He has retained his card since
then and has had a steady career since then, with
four top twenty places on the Order of Merit,
including a best of tenth in 1997. He has won five
events on the tour. He was a member of the
Continental Europe team in The Seve Trophy in 2000
and 2002, but has not made the European Ryder Cup
team. In 1999 he was eleventh on the Ryder Cup
qualifying table just missing out on the last
automatic place, and was not selected as a
captain's pick. 

Karlsson is one of the tallest golfers on the
European Tour at 6ft 5in. Like many leading
Swedish golfers he lives outside his home country,
basing himself in the tax haven of Monaco.
