Rasmus Hojgaard is one of the best young players on the DP World Tour, with five wins to his name in his short career so far.
Born in Billund, Denmark in March 2001, Hojgaard took up the game at the age of 4, as his father wanted to spend more time with his sons. Raised alongside twin brother Nicolai, the pair have gone on to become the most successful twins to ever play the sport.
Rasmus turned professional at the start of 2019, and did not have to wait too long for his maiden win. That came at the AfrAsia Bank Mauritius Open at the end of that year, and it was soon followed by a second and third win on the DP World Tour. The Dane is now a five-time winner on the tour, with a victory at the 2024 AMGEN Irish Open, thanks to birdies at four of his last five holes, being his latest success.
