Nicolai Højgaard, a professional golfer from Denmark who competes on both the PGA and European Tours, was born on March 12, 2001. His career's high points have included winning the Eisenhower Trophy and the European amateur championship with the Danish team in 2018.

Højgaard turned to the professional circuit in 2019 and began participating in Challenge Tour and Nordic Golf League events. Remarkably, he finished one stroke behind Sergio García as the runner-up in the September KLM Open, a European Tour tournament.

Højgaard earned his first European Tour win at the DS Automobiles Italian Open in September 2021, leading by one stroke over Adrian Meronk and Tommy Fleetwood. The previous week, his twin brother Rasmus had emerged victorious from the Omega European Masters, making history as the first brothers to win consecutive weeks on the European Tour.

He continued to have success and won the Ras Al Khaimah Championship in February 2022, his second European Tour victory. He defeated Jordan Smith by a margin of four strokes with a score of 264, under 24.

In November 2023, he won the DP World Tour Championship at Jumeirah Golf Estates in Dubai. He shot a 64 in the final round to win by two shots and claim his first Rolex Series victory, with a score of 267, under 21, defeating Tommy Fleetwood, Matt Wallace and Viktor Hovland.
