Viktor Hovland has been dubbed golf’s ‘forever single’ star for some time, but that all changed when he appeared with his new girlfriend during the par three contest at the Masters.
Hovland sent fans into a frenzy online after the 28-year-old exchanged a kiss with a mystery blonde during the traditional event.
She also served as Hovland’s caddie for the contest at Augusta National.
The Ryder Cup star competed alongside fellow Team Europe members Matt Fitzpatrick and Ludvig Aberg on the scenic par three course.
Fitzpatrick was joined by his wife, Katherine. Aberg, meanwhile, brought his girlfriend, Olivia Peet.
Hovland’s romantic status has been a matter of interest among golf fans for years and it did not take long for his new girlfriend to be identified as Tuva Dahl Jensen.
According to Dagbladet, Jensen is from the city of Fredrikstad in Hovland’s native Norway.
The 27-year-old works as a Norwegian teacher at the Children’s International School in Moss, a town close to capital city Oslo.
Jensen is the daughter of revue star Atle Jensen and Jeanett Dahl Jensen.
Hovland has previously poked fun at being single, after he was the only unmarried member of the victorious European Ryder Cup team back in 2023 in Rome.
The Norwegian star had participated in a playful photograph with spouses of the winning European team.
Hovland embraced the joke once again in 2025, when he sat front and centre of a team photograph following Europe’s victory at Bethpage Black, while his team-mates were joined by their wives.
Following the par three contest, Hovland will be turning his attentions towards his first round at the Masters on Thursday.
Hovland’s first appearance at Augusta came in 2019 as an amateur – winning the low amateur award at The Masters by finishing tied for 32nd.
Since then, he’s participated in five Masters tournaments. After finishing tied for 21st in 2021 and tied for 27th in 2022, he scored his second ever top-ten finish in a major – coming tied for seventh in 2023.
But after that, he missed the cut in 2024 and finished last year’s tournament in another tie for 21st.
So far this season, he’s only registered a single top-ten finish in six starts.
Heading into the first round, Hovland is tied for 19th in the odds to win the tournament alongside Chris Gotterup, Russell Henley and Nicolai Hojgaard.
Hovland will tee off at 10:43am in a group with Patrick Cantlay and Alex Noren.
