Nikolaj and Rasmus Hoygaard will make history at next week's PGA USA Championship when they become the first male twins to play in the same major.
The 22-year-olds learned on Wednesday that they would both play in Oak Hill, emulating the Thai twins, Ari and Nari Song, who played in the Kraft Nabisco Women's Championship at the age of 13 in 2000.
Dane Thomas Bjorn called Hoygard's achievement «a moment of pride for golf in our country.»
«It's amazing to see Rasmus and Nikolai on the PGA [Championship] [USA] field,» the former Ryder Cup captain told Telegraph Sport. their path to become the stars in the game. Their talent is huge and it will be interesting to see how they do it.”
The Hoygaards haven't been used to breaking records ever since bursting into the professional scene as teenagers. Two years ago, they not only became the first twins to win the DP World Tour, but also achieved remarkable results on consecutive weekends in Switzerland and Italy.
The identical twins have five Tour titles between them, with Rasmus, the youngest by 3 minutes, leading with three. They also played five major matches, and Nikolai won this race with three.
It seems that in the dressing room there will inevitably be a constant argument about who is better, who has more potential and ratings. in the same way they are in conflict with Nicholas 107th and Ramsus eight positions behind.
They have been mentioned as opportunities for this Ryder Cup, and both will be aiming for good performances in upstate New York's famed Rochester, if only to move further in the tally to hit Luke Donald's Top 10 in Rome in September.
The entry list for the second Major of the year has confirmed the absence of Tiger Woods, the 15-time Major winner who underwent ankle surgery last month. There was no chance the 47-year-old would play, and even the Open at Hoylake in July was highly questionable.
However, Jordan Speth, who withdrew from the AT&T Byron Nelson tournament in Dallas this week due to a wrist complaint, is on Oak Hill's starting list. The 29-year-old needs the Wanamaker Trophy to become the sixth player ever to complete a career Grand Slam and thus beat Rory McIlroy in a race to join Woods, Jack Nicklaus, Gary Player, Ben Hogan and Gene Sarazen in the pantheon.
There are 18 LIV Golf players on the field, including England's Paul Casey, who must have thought he'd miss out at world No. 131. The 45-year-old finished second to Collin Morikawa at the USPGA three years ago
