MC at the Memorial Tournament Hojgaard missed the cut at the Memorial Tournament by three strokes after posting scores of 74-78.

Impact Hojgaard had a five-over cumulative score through 14 holes in the second round and was on track to make the cut, but he proceeded to card a double bogey on the 15th hole before ending his tournament with a bogey on the 18th. He lost 3.64 strokes off the tee Friday, which was the most out of the 72-man field, and he connected on just six of 14 fairways. It was just the second MC of the season for Hojgaard, with his first taking place at Augusta National in April. He's listed in the field for the RBC Canadian Open next week, where missed the cut in 2025. It will serve as his tune-up event for the U.S. Open Championship at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club in two weeks.

Fades to T44 on Sunday Hojgaard had to settle for a share of 44th place after shooting a two-over 72 in the final round of the PGA Championship.

Impact Hojgaard was in solid position after a first round 69, but was fortunate to make the cut after a 75 on Friday. Hojgaard charged up the leaderboard on Saturday with a 66, but could not continue the run on Sunday, making two double-bogeys. Hojgaard was eighth in SG: Off-the-Tee for the week, but just 58th in SG: Approach and T62 in SG: Around. He was slated to tee it up at THE CJ CUP Byron Nelson next week, but has since elected to skip that event.

Flirts with first win again Hojgaard closed with a three-under 68 on Sunday to finish in a share of second place at the Truist Championship.

Impact Hojgaard was in the mix this season at the WM Phoenix Open and Houston Open, and now you can add the Truist Championship as another one he nearly was able to pick up PGA Tour win No. 1 at. Hojgaard had a share of the lead at 14-under-par following a birdie at the par-5 15th on Sunday. The shot he will want back is his second to the par-4 16th, which flew over the green and left himself a very tough up-and-down. Hojgaard made bogey there and just ran out of holes, finishing two shots behind winner Kristoffer Reitan. Nonetheless, it was still a great week for the Dane who was 11th or better in SG: Off-the-Tee, SG: Approach and SG: Around-the-Green. Hojgaard has to be pleased with where his game is at going into the second major of the year next week at Aronimink.

Impact Hojgaard's bogey-free final round on the Blue Monster Course at Doral was highlighted by an eagle on the par-4 16th hole where his 321-yard drive settled within 11 feet of the cup. For the week, he ranked second among the Signature Event's field in driving distance and sixth in SG: Off-the-Tee, though he lost 0.88 strokes with his irons and another 1.37 strokes on the greens.

Teeing it up at Augusta National Hojgaard is listed in the field for the Masters Tournament this week.

Impact Hojgaard opted out of last week's Valero Texas Open after earning runner-up honors in Houston, but he'll return to tournament action this week at Augusta National for his third career Masters appearance. Dating back to a T27 at THE PLAYERS Championship, Hojgaard has gained a collective 10.15 strokes on approach over his past 12 rounds.

Impact Hojgaard will elect to take the week off after his solo second in Houston clinched a spot at The Masters. This will be the third straight year that he tees it up at Augusta. Hojgaard is in the best form of his career having logged four top-six finishes thus far in 2026.

Solo second at TCHO Hojgaard posted a 16-under cumulative score at the Texas Children's Houston Open to finish solo second and four strokes behind winner Gary Woodland.

Impact Hojgaard built some momentum for himself on the back nine of the first round with three-straight birdies from holes six to eight. He carried that over the next two rounds, scoring 62-63 to enter Sunday one stroke back of Woodland at the top of the leaderboard. Hojgaard got off on the wrong foot in the final round with a bogey on the first hole, and his double bogey on the par-3 seventh all but knocked him out of contention after Woodland went four-under on the front nine. Hojgaard led the field at Memorial Park in SG: Approach while ranking second in birdies made, third in driving distance, fourth in SG: Off-the-Tee and T9 in GIR. His hard work Friday and Saturday built himself enough of a cushion to come away with the runner-up finish and guarantee his spot in the top-50 of the OWGR, punching his ticket to The Masters in two weeks. Hojgaard is currently listed in the field for next week's Valero Texas Open, where he finished T28 and T74 in 2023 and 2024, respectively, in his lone two outings at the event.

T55 at Valspar Championship Hojgaard carded a one-over 72 on Sunday at the Valspar Championship to finish one-over and tied for 55th.

Impact Hojgaard ranked third among the field at Innisbrook in ball speed, which is a good sign ahead of the upcoming Texas Children's Houston Open where distance really matters. However, he also averaged 3.5 bogeys per round this past week en route to his worst finish of the season. Hojgaard drops a couple spots to No. 37 in the FedExCup standings, but he remains top-25 on Tour this year in both SG: Tee-to-Green and SG: Putting through 23 measured rounds.

Third in SG: Putting at THE PLAYERS Hojgaard posted a three-under 69 in the final round of THE PLAYERS Championship to finish in a five-way tie for 27th.

Impact Hojgaard saved his best round at TPC Sawgrass for last, including a birdie on the difficult par-4 18th. The fact he was able to finish in the top-30 was an achievement in of itself, given that he ranked 72nd in SG: Off-the-Tee while connecting on just 24 of 56 fairways (T71). Other parts of Hojgaard's game made up for his inaccuracy off the tee, as he ranked third in SG: Putting, fifth in scrambling and in the top-30 in SG: Approach and Around-the-Green. Hojgaard has made the cut in each of his five Tour outings this season but will have his hands full at the Valspar Championship next week. In his lone outing in 2025, Hojgaard missed the cut by two strokes after posting a five-over 76 second round that included a four-over stretch across his last six holes.
