Norway
Kristoffer Reitan
“I’ve just been trying to not hold myself back and let my talent out a little bit.”
Reitan will make his debut in the Nedbank Golf Challenge in honour of Gary Player, and in what has been a breakthrough year for him.
In May this year Reitan claimed his maiden victory in the DP World Tour when he won the Soudal Open in spectacular fashion.
The Norwegian professional went into the final round nine strokes off the lead and produced a course record 62 to play his way into a playoff, which he eventually won.
He’s had a further six top-five finishes on the DP World Tour this year which has carried him into the top 10 on the Race to Dubai Rankings.
An amateur teammate and still good friend of Viktor Hovland, Reitan became the first Norwegian golfer to qualify for the US Open in 2018.
He has been one of the hottest players on the DP World Tour this season.
Reitan’s family are supermarket tycoons in Norway.
