The world of professional golf has witnessed many remarkable sibling duos, but few have captured attention quite like the Hojgaard brothers. Nicolai and Rasmus Hojgaard, the Danish twins, are making waves on the PGA Tour with their impressive talent, teamwork, and historic achievements.

A Record-Breaking Team Performance

The 2025 Zurich Classic of New Orleans will go down in history for the Hojgaard brothers’ record-tying round. Teaming up for the second year in a row, they posted a stunning 13-under 59 in Four-ball, matching the course record at TPC Louisiana. Their near-identical scores—Nicolai with seven birdies and Rasmus with six—demonstrate the synergy only twins can share on the course. Read the PGA Tour's coverage of their achievement.

"We created a great vibe and gave ourselves plenty of chances," said Rasmus, summing up their strategy after learning from last year’s disappointment. Their joy in playing together is clear, and it’s paying off as they continue to put themselves in contention against some of the world’s best.

Their Journey to PGA Tour Stardom

While both Hojgaard brothers share the same birthday, their journeys to the top have not been identical. Rasmus secured his first PGA Tour card through the DP World Tour Eligibility Ranking. Nicolai followed, making his way as a Special Temporary Member. Both have collected impressive wins on the DP World Tour—Rasmus with five, Nicolai with three—including becoming the first twins to compete at the prestigious Masters.

But their ambitions go beyond individual accolades. Each event is a chance for them to lift each other up and chase new milestones as a team. The Zurich Classic has become a proving ground, allowing their brotherly connection to shine on one of golf’s biggest stages.

How the Hojgaard Brothers Prepare

Success on tour also comes from meticulous preparation. Nicolai’s equipment is dialed in for peak performance: a Callaway Paradym Ai Smoke Triple Diamond driver, X-Forged '24 irons, and a Callaway Chrome Tour X ball, as detailed in this GolfWRX feature on Nicolai’s WITB (What's in the Bag). Their gear choices reflect the precision and attention to detail that sets elite golfers apart.

Overcoming Challenges On and Off the Course

The Zurich Classic isn’t just about low scores. This year’s tournament faced weather disruptions, with lightning forcing a suspension of the final round. While this affected all competitors, the ability to adapt—something the Hojgaard brothers have shown throughout their young careers—is crucial to success.

The journey is only beginning for Nicolai and Rasmus Hojgaard. Whether it’s on the greens of TPC Louisiana or the fairways of Augusta National, the golfing twins from Denmark have all the ingredients to keep making history—together.
