From Sweden to the PGA TOUR: Freddie Jacobson's Unlikely Journey Through Alabama
Freddie Jacobson's path to professional golf wasn't typical.
Growing up in Sweden, he played multiple sports before committing to golf. That journey eventually brought him to Wallace State Community College in Alabama, where he arrived speaking very little English but found an opportunity that helped launch a career spanning the European Tour, PGA TOUR, and now PGA TOUR Champions.
Recorded on-site at the Regions Tradition, Freddie joins Chris Lemley and Gregg DeWalt to discuss:
- Why Sweden has produced so many world-class golfers
- The value of playing multiple sports as a junior
- Choosing golf over hockey
- Coming to Alabama without speaking English
- Life at Wallace State and college golf
- Building a career on the European Tour and PGA TOUR
- Competing today on PGA TOUR Champions
- Why preparation and patience matter at every level of the game
Whether you're a competitive golfer, a fan of the game, or simply enjoy great stories, Freddie's journey proves that success often begins in the most unexpected places.
