About Kristoffer Reitan

Born 1998. Kristoffer Reitan is a Norwegian professional golfer.

Professional career Reitan turned professional after he earned the 26th card at the 2018 European Tour Qualifying School, the only amateur to earn a card.

In his rookie season on the European Tour, his best finish was a tie for fifth at the ISPS Handa World Super 6 Perth in Australia, where he shared the lead after round one. He ended the season 141st in the rankings, retaining conditional status.

In April 2025, he was runner-up at the Hainan Classic in China, three strokes behind Marco Penge. In May, he claimed his first European Tour title, at the Soudal Open. Starting the final round nine strokes off the lead, Reitan shot a course-record 62 and posted 13-under for the tournament to ultimately enter a three-man playoff. Reitan birdied the second extra hole to defeat Darius van Driel and 54-hole leader Ewen Ferguson. After another runner-up finish at the Austrian Alpine Open, following a 60 in the final round, Reitan rose into the top-100 of the Official World Golf Rankings for the first time. Reitan ended the season at 8th in the Race to Dubai rankings and earned playing status for the 2026 PGA Tour season.

At the Nedbank Golf Challenge in December 2025, Reitan opened with a 9-under 63 to take the first-round lead. He held a five-stroke lead after 54 holes and shot a 72 in the final round to complete a wire-to-wire victory, finishing one stroke ahead of Dan Bradbury and Jayden Schaper.

In April 2026, Reitan and fellow Norwegian Kris Ventura finished tied-second at the Zurich Classic, a team event on the PGA Tour. They combined for a score of 30-under, one stroke behind the winning team of Alex Fitzpatrick and Matt Fitzpatrick. The following month, Reitan earned his first PGA Tour win at the Truist Championship. He shot 15-under 269 at Quail Hollow Club to finish two strokes ahead of Rickie Fowler and Nicolai Højgaard. With the victory, Reitan earned $3.6 million and moved to a career-high of 25th in the Official World Golf Ranking.
