Frederik Kjettrup Opens Up About Getting Relegated From LIV | Dan Evans Show #95
About this episode
Frederik Kjettrup discusses his journey in professional golf, including his experiences with LIV Golf and the challenges he faced after relegation.
Frederik Kjettrup joins Dan Evans for one of the most honest young-pro conversations we’ve had on the show. From a small town in Denmark to Florida State, three wins on PGA Tour Americas, a U.S. Open start at Pinehurst, and then a rapid jump onto LIV Golf, Kjettrup’s career has moved fast. In this episode, he opens up about the LIV call, why he believed it was the right long-term decision, what he learned competing against major champions, why the season didn’t go the way he hoped, and what relegation means for the next chapter of his career. It’s a real look at pressure, development, uncertainty, and what pro golf actually feels like when your path changes fast.0:00 Frederik Kjettrup joins the show0:38 The name everyone gets wrong2:00 How golf started in Denmark4:28 Why he chose golf over every other sport6:23 From small-town Denmark to Florida State9:14 Why FSU changed his game11:02 Still using the Florida State facilities13:02 Moving 5,000 miles from home15:02 The biggest change in his game coming to America16:10 The bizarre 5-hole playoff that ended in darkness19:15 Life after college and turning pro20:30 Winning immediately on PGA Tour Americas21:23 Three wins in his first…
