The buzz around The Masters Tournament isn’t just about birdies and green jackets this year; it’s about WAGs taking center stage at Augusta. And leading the charge? None other than Viktor Hovland, who officially stepped out with his new girlfriend, Tuva Dahl Jensen, in a moment that instantly set the golf world humming.
The usually private Norwegian star shared a kiss with Jensen after the Par-3 Contest on Wednesday, confirming what quickly became one of the biggest off-course storylines of the week.
Here are five fast facts you should know about the 28-year-old’s new flame.
1. She’s a Norwegian School Teacher
Jensen is a 27-year-old school teacher in Norway, working at the Children’s International School near Oslo. According to reports from Norwegian outlet Dagbladet, she teaches in Moss and maintains a relatively low-key, professional life outside the spotlight.
That contrast is part of what makes this story hit. While the golf world often revolves around luxury and travel, Jensen’s day-to-day life is grounded and relatable. It’s a refreshing dynamic, and one that fans are already embracing as a perfect match for Hovland’s laid-back personality.
2. She Comes from a Creative Family
Jensen’s the daughter of Atle Jensen, a well-known revue performer in Norway – a style of live theatrical entertainment that blends comedy, music, and satire. It’s a niche but respected corner of Norwegian culture. Jeanett Dahl Jensen, Tuva’s mother, is reportedly also involved in the creative arts world.
Still, despite that connection to entertainment, Jensen has chosen a path far removed from the spotlight. Her grounded career and quiet presence contrast nicely with the sudden burst of attention she’s receiving this week.
3. She’s From Fredrikstad – A Historic Norwegian Coastal City
Jensen hails from Fredrikstad, a picturesque coastal city in southeastern Norway, and it’s not just any random hometown.
Fredrikstad is one of Norway’s best-preserved fortified cities, famous for its Old Town (Gamlebyen), which dates back to the 16th century. The area is surrounded by moats, stone walls, and cobblestone streets that look straight out of a postcard. It’s the kind of place where history is part of everyday life, blending old-world charm with modern Scandinavian living.
The city also sits along the Glomma River, Norway’s longest river, and has a strong maritime culture. Summers in Fredrikstad are lively, with festivals, waterfront cafes, and boating culture taking over. It’s a laid-back but vibrant place to grow up.
It’s also worth noting that Fredrikstad is just over an hour from Oslo, where Hovland is originally from.
4. Jensen is Highly Educated – With a Master’s Degree in Teaching
Jensen has some serious credentials. She holds a master’s degree in Primary School Teacher Education for grades 5-10 from Østfold University College, completing her thesis in 2023.
The school itself is a respected public university in Norway with around 7,000 students and campuses in Fredrikstad and Halden. It offers more than 60 fields of study and has built a reputation for quality education, particularly in areas like engineering and design.
5. She Has a Twin Brother
Tuva is the twin sister of her brother, Ola Dahl Jensen, who has followed a more public-facing path as a musician and singer. Even more interesting, he performs alongside their father, Atle, tying the family even deeper into Norway’s entertainment scene.
And here’s where things get really interesting: both Atle and Ola reportedly participated in the 2022 Wright Invitational golf tournament – an event where Hovland has competed in recent years.
Which leads to an obvious question: with those overlapping circles, did Tuva and Hovland actually know each other long before this week at The Masters Tournament? It’s a good possibility.
Tuva herself has also had a connection to that entertainment world. In addition to her career in education, she previously worked as a bartender and waitress at Båthuset Scene, a venue tied to live performances and events, and where her father and brother perform.
