Biography

Rasmus Højgaard will make his Ryder Cup debut as part of Luke Donald’s European Team, emulating twin brother Nicolai who was a rookie in 2023, after finishing fifth in the European Team Rankings to secure automatic qualification. The Dane enjoyed a strong start to the qualification process, finishing third at the Betfred British Masters hosted by Sir Nick Faldo and then going low to deny Rory McIlroy and win the Amgen Irish Open, before ending the 2024 season with a runner-up finish at the DP World Tour Championship. Upon the turn of the year, results proved harder to come by and he was outside the qualifying places with two events to go, before a runner-up finish on home soil at the Danish Golf Championship and a tie for 13th at The Belfry sealed a rookie appearance at Bethpage.
