Lexton Links — Ambassador

Lars
Jacobsen

81 caps for Denmark — now a dedicated golfer

Lars Christian Jacobsen is one of the most experienced profiles in Danish football. Born on 20 September 1979 in Odense, he earned 81 caps for the Danish national team and, over a 20-year career, represented clubs in Denmark, Germany, England and France — including Everton, Blackburn Rovers and West Ham United in the English Premier League. Lars ended his career at EA Guingamp in France.

Since retiring, golf has become a central part of his daily life — and Lexton Links is a natural part of this new chapter.

A career at the highest level

Lars Jacobsen made his senior debut for Odense Boldklub in 1996 and went on to compete at the highest level of European football. With FC Copenhagen, he won the Danish league title four times and the Danish Cup twice. He captained the club in the 2012–13 season, leading them to another league title. Internationally, he played at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa and UEFA Euro 2012 in Poland and Ukraine.

After concluding his career at EA Guingamp in 2016, Lars turned to golf with the same level of focus and competitive mindset that defined his football career. Today he also works as a football pundit and assistant coach — but on the golf course, it is calm, precision and focus that matter.

Lars as an ambassador for Lexton Links

For Lars, golf clothing is first and foremost about function. Fit, materials and freedom of movement must perform consistently — round after round. It reflects the same mindset that shaped his career as a professional footballer: equipment should support performance, not limit it.

Lexton Links reflects this approach with styles designed for active use and changing conditions on the course. The Nordic aesthetic — clean lines, classic colours and a timeless look — aligns naturally with Lars’ understated and authentic style.

"I really like the materials. Lexton Links is very comfortable to wear, and the fit suits me well."

As an ambassador, Lars represents Lexton Links with a calm and authentic presence. He wears the clothing because it works for him — and that credibility carries through to the brand.
