Torbjörn Blomdahl (born 26 October 1962 in Gothenburg) is a Swedish professional carom billiards (and to a lesser extent pool) player from Helsingborg, Sweden. He is a five time World Champion in Three Cushion, the most difficult and mathematical game of all cue sports. He won the titles in 1986, 1987, 1991, 1997 and in 2015.
Torbjörn Blomdahl was born in Gothenburg but at age 11 he moved to Helsingborg. He is the son of three-cushion player Lennart Blomdahl, who was a driving force behind the local billiards club Borgen på Söder. It was here Blomdahl learned to play three-cushion with his father as the teacher. His international breakthrough was at the European championships in Copenhagen in 1984. Starting in 1989 he was ranked the best three-cushion player in the world.
Blomdahl has been a resident of Backnang, Germany since 1994.
Blomdahl has won a total of 15 world three-cushion titles, 5 from UMB and 10 from BWA, placing him second to only Raymond Ceulemans who won 24. He is also the only Swede to ever be world champion. He's made 6 successful defenses, won 8 CEB European three-cushion titles which he defended successfully 4 times, and won 18 Swedish titles. His highest run is 24 and once made 50 points in 9 innings (5.555 Kill- Death Ratio ).
