Stenson and Löfgren both grew up in Sweden and met through mutual golfing friends. They went on their first date in 1997 during the Swedish Junior Match Play Championships.
When they met, Löfgren was a member of the golf team at the University of South Carolina. While she was playing at South Carolina, Stenson was able to spend a lot of time with her there. Puggy Blackmon, who was head of the men’s golf program at South Carolina, allowed Stenson to practice with the team.
Löfgren graduated from South Carolina with a degree in Public Relations and Media in 2000. Following her graduation, Löfgren worked as a teaching pro at Barsebäck Golf and Country Club for a few years.
On his personal website Stenson writes:
"Since we both have a golfing background, we have a mutual understanding of the game and what it takes to succeed." In this photo, Henrik and Emma pose with the Race To Dubai trophy and the DP World Tour Championship trophy after winning the DP World Tour Championship in 2013. (Getty)
