Rasmus Hojgaard

Rasmus Højgaard, along with twin brother Nicolai, has continued to impress since helping Denmark to their first-ever victory at the Eisenhower Trophy World Amateur Team Championship in Ireland in 2018.

Rasmus Højgaard, along with twin brother Nicolai, has continued to impress since helping Denmark to their first-ever victory at the Eisenhower Trophy World Amateur Team Championship in Ireland in 2018.

While Nicolai, European amateur champion that same year, was part of the Ryder Cup-winning side in Rome in 2023, Rasmus made his debut at Bethpage Black as part of Luke Donald's triumphant European team in September 2025.

Rasmus has so far racked up five DP World Tour titles, including a dramatic success at the 2024 Amgen Irish Open where three closing birdies – the second of them from a greenside bunker – gave him a closing 65 and one-stroke victory over Rory McIlroy.

The twin brothers achieved a remarkable double in 2021. Seven days after Rasmus lifted the Omega European Masters for his third victory Nicolai enjoyed his first win at the DS Automobiles Italian Open, the first time in Tour history that brothers had won in successive weeks.

In April 2025 they finished runners-up at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans, one stroke behind winners Andrew Novak and Ben Griffin.

After turning professional Rasmus had to wait until only his fifth event on the main circuit to taste success and at 18 years 271 days became the tour’s third youngest winner behind Matteo Manassero and Danny Lee.
