dailyloe.com – Norwegian golfer Viktor Hovland introduced his new girlfriend, Tuva Jensen, to the public at the 2026 Masters. Jensen acted as Hovland’s caddie during the annual Par 3 Contest at Augusta National on Wednesday, March 8. The couple walked the nine-hole course together, with Jensen carrying Hovland’s golf bag.
Their chemistry was evident, culminating in a kiss on the 9th green. A video from the round showed Jensen taking a putt herself using Hovland’s PING PLD DS 72 putter. She nearly holed a lengthy downhill attempt before tapping in and celebrating.
Hovland’s love life had been largely private until this appearance. The PGA Tour star was previously spotted on Tinder, but Jensen’s presence signals a change. Jensen will now accompany Hovland throughout the 2026 Masters as he seeks his first major title.
“The Masters Par 3 hard-launch: A tradition unlike any other,” commented The Athletic’s golf reporter Gabby Herzig on X. Little is publicly known about Tuva Jensen beyond her Instagram presence. Reuters first confirmed her name in photographs from the event.
Hovland arrives at Augusta with mixed form in 2026. He has four top-20 finishes in seven worldwide events this year, including a T10 at the WM Phoenix Open. He recently missed the cut while defending his title at the Valspar Championship.
A seven-time PGA Tour winner and 2023 FedEx Cup champion, Hovland has yet to win a major. His best major finish is a T2 at the 2023 PGA Championship. His only top-10 at Augusta was a T7 in 2023.[]
