With his court case delayed to December 2021 because of the COVID-19 pandemic, Thorbjorn Olesen will now be allowed to compete on the European Tour when it resumes action later this month.
Olesen, who was originally scheduled to stand trial May 11 after urinating in the aisle of the plane and assaulting a female passenger during a flight last July, had his suspension lifted by the European Tour on Thursday because of an “unprecedented delay in court proceedings.”
“While my team and I initially agreed that I would not participate in Tour events while the legal proceedings were outstanding, I am naturally grateful to the European Tour for allowing me to continue my career following the lengthy adjournment of my trial,” Olesen said in a statement.
