Per Haugsrud (born 20 February 1965) is a Norwegian professional golfer and the first Norwegian to play on the European Tour.[1]
Haugsrud began to play golf at the nine hole course in Sarpsborg when he was only seven years old. He was a scratch player at age 15. He won two Norwegian Amateur titles[2] and represented Norway in the 1984 Eisenhower Trophy, the World Amateur Golf Team Championships.[3]
Haugsrud tried for European Tour card six times and succeeded on three occasions, starting with the 1991 European Tour season, playing a total of 157 European Tour tournaments 1987–2001 collecting €416,939 in winnings. He was runner-up at the 1990 Ramlösa Open[4] and also played 27 Challenge Tour tournaments 1991–1995 where he won the 1993 SM Matchplay and 1994 SIAB Open. In addition, he played over a dozen tournaments on the Asia Golf Circuit 1993–1995, with a best finish of fifth in the 1993 Thailand Open.[5]
Regaining his European Tour card, he retained it between 1996 and 1998, before suffering a finger injury in 1999 and was granted a medical exemption in 2000.[2] He recorded 4 top-10 finishes including a tie for fourth at the 1997 Volvo German Open and a tie for third along with Jesper Parnevik and Mark Davis at the 1994 Scandinavian Masters, four strokes behind Vijay Singh.[6]
Haugsrud represented Norway at the 1989, 1991 and 1992 World Cup, along with the 1998 World Cup of Golf and 2001 WGC-World Cup. He peaked at around 300 on the Official World Golf Rankings in 1997.[7] He was the second Norwegian ever to qualify for The Open Championship after Tore Sviland.[8]
Starting in 2015 Haugsrud teamed up with Henrik Bjørnstad to provide commentary for the PGA Tour broadcast on Eurosport Norway.[9]
