Playing only his 14th PGA Tour event in the 2026 Cadillac Championship, Kristoffer Reitan has just started his journey in the big leagues. Interestingly, he made the field because Jake Knapp withdrew from it due to an injury. Coming back to the topic, he seems ready to take on the challenge right from the get-go. Much credit goes to his parents for raising him to be ready to tackle any challenges that come his way. On that note, let’s get to know more about Reitan’s parents.

On March 8, 1998, the PGA Tour pro was born to Magnus Reitan and Siv Beate Reitan. He was raised in Oslo, Norway. They also have another child, Reitan’s younger sister, Viktoria. Reitan’s sister is a singer and goes by the stage name ‘bby ivy.’

The 28-year-old comes from an affluent background. His grandfather is Odd Reitan, the founder of the Reitan conglomerate and the REMA 1000 grocery chain. After building a successful empire, he became the richest businessman in all of Norway. Magnus took over the leadership role in the company and acts as the CEO of Reitan Kapital, the financial investment department of the family’s business conglomerate. As far as his mother goes, Siv Beate used to work as a nurse.

Magnus was also interested in golf, and he introduced his son to the sport at a very young age. Fortunately for him, Reitan took an interest in the sport and started pursuing it as a possible career choice. He had access to the best training at a young age, and he also enjoyed an excellent amateur career.

During his individual run, he captured the Valderrama Boys Invitational, Italian International U16 Championship, Skandia Junior Open, and the Junior Orange Bowl Championship. The world #48 will be grateful to his father for giving him the motivation and guidance to join the sport early.

Throughout his youth, he got the opportunity to play alongside Viktor Hovland & Co. Despite their success, it was Reitan who became the first Norwegian to play in the U.S. Open in 2018. That’s an achievement the entire Reitan family would be proud of.

His parents have always shown strong support for his career. They celebrate every achievement the PGA Tour pro records during his time on the fairway. Siv Beate also shared an Instagram post showcasing Reitan’s lowest scores in DP World Tour events. She also didn’t shy away from captioning it, “What a year⛳️ Such a proud mom to both of my kids❤️ @kristofferreitan @ivy.”

In fact, unlike Magnus, Siv Beate has often shared pictures of her children’s accomplishments. Let’s look at some of them.

Kristoffer Reitan is making his mother proud with everything he achieves on the fairway

Out of Kristoffer Reitan’s parents, it’s Siv Beate who is more socially active. She shares a lot of her own adventures, and she also posts many pictures of her son’s achievements on the golf course.

She has shared some of the most mundane pictures of Reitan on the fairway to even his top-10 finishes in some tournaments. Back in April 2018, Siv Beate posted a picture of her son wedging a ball out of the bunker, which carried a lot of sand with it. In hindsight, it’s certainly quite a picturesque photo. But it doesn’t involve any of Reitan’s accomplishments.

She simply captioned it, “Just love this guy❤️ My son❤️ @kristofferreitan.”

Even his 2018 Valderrama Club win was celebrated as if it were a major. Reitan was only 20 back then and still finding his way in amateur golf. But she stated that she was incredibly proud of his efforts. She has many more pictures of him driving off the tee, hitting irons, and escaping the bunker in different tournaments.

Siv Beate also celebrates her son’s partner’s birthday milestones with special collage pictures. When she turned 25, Reitan’s mother shared a post of his collage with a caption, “Congratulations soooo much on your 25th birthday dear Helene💃🏻🎊🎉❤️.”

Coming to her more recent post, she must have been immensely proud to see her son on the PGA Tour. So when Reitan finished in the top-10 at the 2026 Valero Texas Open, his mother couldn’t help but acknowledge it.

She posted a picture of the score, saying, “Proud mom☺️ @kristofferreitan @pgatour.”

It will be interesting to see how she will celebrate when Reitan wins his first PGA Tour title. Judging by the form he is in, that might happen sooner rather than later.
