Overview

  • Rasmus Højgaard qualified for his Masters debut through a top-50 world ranking, while Nicolai received a special invitation following his 16th-place finish last year.
  • The twins are the first pair of siblings to compete together at the Masters since the Molinari brothers in 2012 and the first twins in the tournament's history.
  • They share extensive major championship experience, having competed together in the British Open and PGA Championship in 2023 and 2024.
  • Known for their identical appearances, the twins humorously arrived in matching outfits at a pre-tournament press conference, recalling their childhood pranks of switching places.
  • Rasmus, ranked 55th in the world, and Nicolai, ranked 82nd, will begin their rounds in separate pairings, adding a new chapter to their competitive and supportive sibling dynamic.
