Morten Ørum Madsen (born 9 April 1988) is a Danish professional golfer who currently plays on the Challenge Tour.
Madsen was born in Silkeborg. He took up golf at the age of 12,[1] and enjoyed a successful amateur career during which he played in the Eisenhower Trophy[2] while attending Oregon State University. He turned professional in 2011 and promptly won twice on the third-tier Nordic League, earning a place on the Challenge Tour.
