Danish twins Nicolai and Rasmus Højgaard to make Masters history
CNN
Danish twins, Nicolai and Rasmus Højgaard, will make history at this year’s Masters when they take to the famed Augusta National course.
Don’t be alarmed when you think you see the same player twice at the Masters this week. You’ll likely be watching one of the Danish twins, Nicolai and Rasmus Højgaard, as they make history at Augusta National, becoming the first set of twins to ever compete at the historic major. Rasmus will make his debut at the Masters this year having qualified by finishing in the top 50 of last year’s world rankings while Nicolai – who briefly led on Saturday of last year’s tournament but eventually finished tied for 16th – received a special invitation. The two 24-year-old twins are identical, with only their hairstyles and clothing choices differentiating themselves. And when they arrived in the same color outfit for their pre-event press conference on Tuesday, they admitted it’s something that could cause issues. “It was completely random, to be fair. Ras left the house a little bit earlier than me this morning, and when I came out here, he was sitting in beige pants and a green jumper,” Nicolai told reporters. “We actually thought, it’s not too bad, actually, make good sense going into the press conference in the same clothes, so it worked out all right.” Rasmus is No. 55 in the world rankings while Nicolai is 82nd. And while they’ll be making Masters history in 2025, it’s not the first time the twins have played at the same major.
