Colsaerts was born in Brussels, Belgium. He turned professional in 2000, the day of his 18th birthday and went on to gain his European Tour card. He won his playing privileges back for 2010 by finishing third on the Challenge Tour in 2009.

Colsaerts led the Irish Open at the halfway stage in 2006, but fell away over the weekend and finished in a tie for 53rd place. Similarly, he led the Scandinavian Open after the third round but finished tied for 24th.

Colsaerts nearly won the 2009 Challenge of Ireland after a final round 68, but lost at the third hole of a sudden-death playoff to English golfer Robert Coles. However, he eventually won his maiden victory on the Challenge Tour a few weeks later at the SK Golf Challenge and added the Dutch Futures later in October.

In 2010 he had a best finish of third at the BMW Italian Open, and retained his tour card for 2011after finishing 67th on the Race to Dubai rankings.
