Viktor Hovland girlfriend: Who is the PGA Tour golfer dating?

Golf fans have long speculated about Viktor Hovland's love life, dating back to the Norwegian's professional debut. 

Hovland turned professional in 2019 and has since established himself as one of the biggest stars in the game, winning eight PGA Tour titles and collecting victories around the world.

Hovland has also become a key figure in Europe's Ryder Cup team, playing in both their 2023 victory in Italy and their successful defence at Bethpage Black in 2025.

During the celebrations in Italy, however, one detail about Hovland's personal life stood out: he appeared to be the only member of the European team without a significant other.

Hovland embraced his bachelor status throughout the week, even jokingly naming three-time Ryder Cup captain José María Olazábal as his 'date' for the annual gala dinner.

The pair duly played along for the cameras, posing for photographers while holding hands.

Hovland also joined the European team's wives and girlfriends for a celebratory photograph after Europe lifted the trophy, making his status as the team's lone bachelor part of the Ryder Cup storyline.

Now almost three years later, Hovland's relationship status has changed. 

After keeping his love life largely private, the Norwegian revealed at the 2026 Masters that he was in a relationship with Tuva Dahl Jensen.

Who is Viktor Hovland's girlfriend?

Viktor Hovland is in a relationship with Norwegian teacher Tuva Dahl Jensen, who made her public debut as the golfer's girlfriend at the 2026 Masters.

Tuva caddied for him at the annual Masters Par 3 Contest, which is played 24 hours before the major begins. 

The couple were photographed laughing and embracing during the nine-hole event before sharing a kiss on the ninth green. Jensen also took a putt during the round.

Jensen, 27, reportedly works as a teacher at Children's International School in Moss, Norway. 

She is from Fredrikstad and is the daughter of Norwegian entertainer Atle Jensen. She also has a twin brother, Ola.

The couple have not publicly revealed how they met or when their relationship began.

Reports in Norway suggested they had been together for several months before making their relationship public at the Masters, but neither Hovland nor Jensen has provided details about the start of their romance.

Jensen has also maintained a low profile since the relationship became public, with her Instagram account private. 

Hovland has similarly chosen not to share much about their relationship publicly.
