Linn Grant is among Sweden’s remarkable professional golfers, with the former ASU player making a name for herself as a consistent winner in the sport. She is the first female to win on the DP World Tour, achieving this milestone twice, and is poised to be a prominent member of the community. Golf already runs in the blood of her family. 

This includes her grandfather James Grant and her father John Grant, who won on the Swedish Senior Tour seven times. The 2017 Ladies British Open Amateur stroke play champion has always had the full support of her family when it came to pursuing golf. But apart from her family, she has always had the rock-solid support of the love of her life, Pontus Samuelson. Here is all you need to know about the professional life of her athletic boyfriend.

Meet Pontus Samuelson: The avid golfer

Pontus Samuelson is pursuing his Bachelors in Business Administration/Economics from Limestone University. Grant has been dating the Swedish golfer for over five years now. Samuelson is also a student-athlete. Both Linn and Pontus have been playing golf since a young age. While Linn is shining on international golf courses, Pontus is also leaving a mark in his college golf career.

From winning the GCAA Division II PING All-Southeast Region in 2022 to being a medalist at the South Atlantic Conference championship, the 24-year-old already has a lot of feathers added to his hat in the world of golf. Though he is still majoring in economics, he also dedicates much of his life to college golf. In 2020-21, during his freshman year, he had a stroke average of 73.56 and went as low as 69 per round!

Although he is yet to get the professional status of being a golfer, Pontus Samuelson has already appeared in six events and has also finished in the top 5 in one of them and has a top-10 finish in two, and it is safe to say that his collegiate golfing saga is already a success. In the 2020-21 season, he helped his college team by leading them to finish in the runner-up position at the SAC Championship by carding a three-round 220 (+4). He made it to the top-10 list at the Matlock Collegiate Classic by scoring his best rounds at the UNG Fall Invitational. 

Apart from his interest in golf and budding his career, he has also been actively present in helping Linn Grant, both on and off the course.

Pontus Samuelson helped Linn Grant out by being her caddie

Pontus Samuelson was chosen by the LPGA Tour star as her caddie ever since Grant made her debut. He has been caddying for her through various events, which also helped in strengthening their relationship. She has also been part of several major events, like the Arnold Palmer Cup. In 2018, she bagged the sectional qualification for the US Women’s Open and finished with a T57. He was caddying for her.

He was also there at the 2022 Scandinavian Mixed Event in June, where she shot a 17-under and won the DPWT and LET’s one-of-a-kind event. However, they parted professional ways after March 2023, as he wanted to focus on his career. Grant even said, “It’s a bit of a mixed feeling. Boring, of course, and not being able to travel together every week and experience everything together. At the same time, it feels fun to take a new step and start working with someone who is already a professional caddie.”
