Nicholas Kalsarts may be stepping away from professional golf, but don’t expect him to disappear from the sport anytime soon. The Belgian star, 42, confirmed in September that he will bring an end to his remarkable 25-year professional career at the close of this season. It’s a decision that has been weighing on him for some time, particularly after a rare kidney disease diagnosis in late 2021 and a difficult battle with depression that followed. Now healthier and at peace with his choice, Colarts is calling time on his career on his own terms. Across his journey, Kalsards captured 10 professional titles, including three on the DP World Tour. But for many fans, his defining moment came at the 2012 Rder Cup in Medina. On his debut, he produced one of the most electrifying fourball performances in Rder Cup history, firing 10 birdies to defeat Tiger Woods and Steve Stricker. That unforgettable afternoon helped fuel Europe’s legendary miracle at Medina, cementing Kulsart’s place in Rder Cup folklore. This past week, Colarts was spotted at Beth Paige Black, not in an official capacity, but reconnecting with the European team during practice rounds. Once play began, he returned to London, stepping into the Sky Sports studio to provide sharp analysis of the drama unfolding in New York. It was a glimpse of the role he now seems destined to embrace. speaking ahead of his milestone 500th DP World Tour star to the Alfred Dunnel Lynx where he memorably finished runnerup to TRL Hatton last year. Kartz reflected on his career with refreshing honesty. 25 years is a long time, he admitted. I could have done a lot better, maybe 10 or 15 wins instead of three, but trust me, I had a lot of fun those 25 years. I don’t look back with regret. The RDER Cup still stands out. I was the first from my country to play in it, and I got to take down arguably the best golfer who ever lived on my own. That’s something I’ll always be proud of. Although he has not yet been formally approached by the Belgian Golf Federation to help develop the next generation, Colarts hopes to spend more time back home and pass on lessons to his children about their roots. Still, his love for the sport ensures he won’t be far away. I love this game so much. Broadcasting has almost presented itself naturally. I know a lot about golf and I think sharing that knowledge has been a very rewarding experience. He explained already a regular on Skye’s European golf coverage, Colarts has been praised for his fresh perspective and cultural insight. The feedback has been really positive. He added, “Golf may have been invented here, but hearing a different viewpoint is always valuable. Spending time alongside legends like Ken Brown, Sam Torrance, and Jaime Spence has been a real privilege, and I’ve been welcomed so warmly. As his competitive career winds down, Nicholas Colarts is preparing for his second act, one that ensures his passion, wisdom, and voice will continue to resonate within the game he loves.
