PGA star, Viktor Hovland has been making headlines for his new relationship with 'Tuva'. The duo confirmed their relationship with a sweet kiss during their recent appearance.
The Par-3 Contest ahead of the Masters Tournament is known as one of the more laid-back and casual events in the golf world. It is a time when golfers can have their loved ones serve as caddies or even step in to hit tee shots or try to sink putts. However, it seems like Viktor Hovland has used the opportunity not just to enjoy a relaxing day of golf but also to hard-launch his new relationship. Yes! The Norwegian star seems to have introduced his girlfriend at the 2026 Masters Par-3 Contest.
The Norwegian golfer has become infamous for being blatantly single on the PGA Tour, known for his group photos with other golfers' wives or girlfriends, but never having one by his side. The extreme level of privacy added to the golf world's shock when not only did Viktor Hovland have a partner at the Par-3 Contest, but he was also seen sharing a sweet kiss with her. The hard launch was the most out-of-character thing he possibly could have come up with, and the internet is loving it. So, as the world swoons over the new couple, let's take a look at what we know about them.
Viktor Hovland has been hogging the headlines for his recent appearance at the Par-3 Contest. The 2026 Masters has just begun, and the Norwegian golfer has decided to kick it off by making one of the biggest announcements. Viktor used the opportunity to have his girlfriend act as his caddie in the Par-3 contest, with announcers further referring to the gorgeous lady as Viktor's girlfriend. They also revealed his girlfriend's name is Tuva, and the internet made quick work of finding more details about her.
Viktor Hovland is well known for keeping his personal life private, which means that before his April 8, 2026, appearance, whether he was in a relationship remained a mystery to his fans. However, with the hard-launch at the Par-3 Contest, while fans know there is a special someone in Viktor's life, her identity remains largely anonymous. Despite having been seen in such a public way, all fans know about the mystery lady is that she is blonde, that the pair are apparently dating, and that she goes by the name "Tuva".
Tuva served as Viktor Holvand's caddie for the Par-3 Contest, but he wasn't interviewed on TV, where the caddies for the golfers were listed. However, the golfer let her take some of her putts, which she was pretty good at. Additionally, it is also unclear whether "Tuva" is a nickname or her actual name. Nonetheless, their lip-lock at the event confirmed that the couple is happy together and that Viktor is finally ready to show his lady off.
While it remains unconfirmed, some reports allege that Viktor Hovland's girlfriend, Tuva's full name is Tuva Jensen. Though not much is known about his new beau. The speculations gained traction after it was noticed that the star golfer follows just one woman, named Tuva Jensen, on Instagram, but her account is set to private. She has just over 1,800 followers. However, that's sure to increase given her newfound internet fame.
Viktor Hovland has a reputation for keeping his personal life extremely private and out of the limelight, which means his dating history has always been an unknown area to his fans at large. Even with this new relationship, there is hardly any information available about how long he's been with her, and we may never know unless the Norwegian star decides to answer that question publicly. Viktor has gone viral on social media for always being the odd one out in group photos with other golfers and their wives or girlfriends.
It was during the Ryder Cup team pictures when fans noticed Viktor Hovland as the only one without a partner. Several photos circulated on social media showing the other members with their wives or girlfriends, while he was just with Jose María Olazabal. Even more famous is a picture of all the Ryder Cup team wives and girlfriends posing with the trophy, with Viktor lying on the ground in front of them.
Viktor Hovland's love life has long remained a mystery, making it a topic of interest among fans. It was not long ago that he was linked to Norwegian influencer, Kristin Sorsdal, but nothing was ever confirmed to be going on between them. Viktor has since developed a reputation as a "bachelor on the tour", which makes this hard launch with his new girlfriend at the Par-3 Contest even more interesting. Nonetheless, fans seem to be happy about the new couple and hope to see more of them in the coming days.
