After spending four years on the LPGA Tour, one thing is certain for Linn Grant: she has a lot more success to achieve in women’s golf. The 26-year-old has been one of the most consistent performers on the course in the last few years. And throughout her journey, she’s always had the support of one individual. That is her boyfriend and fellow pro golfer Pontus Samuelsson.

Being a golfer himself, Samuelsson is familiar with the kind of stress Grant goes through on and off the course. Maybe that’s why they make such a great pair. Navigating through his own professional journey, the Swedish pro is trying to break through the ranks in the DP World Tour. But he’s yet to find his footing, unlike his girlfriend, who is already a 1-time LPGA Tour champion. Samuelsson represents the Landeryds Golf Club. But he also had another job when he was not getting enough opportunities.

Speaking to Golf Digest, Grant had admitted that Samuelsson also assisted her professionally. During her interview, she said, “When my boyfriend was my caddie my first year on tour, that was great. When he went back to college, I hired a professional caddie.” Yes, Pontus was carrying the bags for Linn during her rookie season on the LPGA Tour in 2022.

He didn’t last long in that role as she only played six tournaments in that season. However, with Samuelsson by her side, Grant was certainly getting far better results. She finished in the top 10 in four of those events. We wonder what would have happened if her boyfriend had stuck around for another season or two.

Speaking of their relationship, the couple may always be surrounded by golf, but they don’t shy away from stepping away from the course every opportunity they get. Let’s see what they like to do when they’re not using the clubs.

Other than golf, Grant & Samuelsson also enjoy staying active through other sports and adventures. They gym together and also go out for hikes. Sometimes, the two Swedish pros even head out for boat rides.

As she continues to look for success in the LPGA Tour, he will certainly be the one cheering the loudest for her, even if he can’t be behind the ropes.
