Mickey Krause

Mickey Krause, nicknamed "The Viking", is one of mainland Europe's fastest-rising talents. The young Dane climbed from 63rd in the world to the top 15 after winning his first WNT title at the 2024 European Open Championship, a breakthrough that also earned him spots on Team Europe at the Reyes Cup and Mosconi Cup.

Krause carried that momentum into 2025 with a Scottish Open title and a semi-final run at the UK Open Pool Championship, results that pushed him into the world's top 10 for the first time in his career.
