Overview
- Hovland appeared at Augusta’s Par-3 Contest on Wednesday with Tuva Dahl Jensen, who caddied for him and shared a kiss on the course.
- Norwegian outlet Dagbladet identified Jensen as a 27-year-old school teacher from Fredrikstad who teaches at the Children’s International School in Moss.
- Coverage notes she is the daughter of Atle Jensen and Jeanett Dahl Jensen, while neither she nor Hovland has offered an on-the-record account of their relationship.
- The reveal came in a setting where players often include partners or family, as Hovland walked with Ryder Cup teammates Matt Fitzpatrick and Ludvig Aberg and their partners.
- The moment marks a shift from Hovland’s long-running public image as golf’s single star, a theme highlighted by past Ryder Cup photos, as he moved on to his Masters opening round Thursday.
