Cleeks Golf Club, led by captain Martin Kaymer, has recently announced the signing of Danish professional golfer Frederik Kjettrup as the fourth and final player for the team’s 2025 season. Kjettrup, a former Florida State University graduate, has had a remarkable start to his professional career, winning three out of his first eight tournaments, including victories in his first two appearances. Despite narrowly missing the cut at the 2024 US Open, Kjettrup has earned conditional status on the Korn Ferry Tour and full status on the PGA Tour Americas. He has now decided to join the LIV Golf League alongside Kaymer, Richard Bland, and Adrian Meronk for the upcoming season.
Martin Kaymer praised Kjettrup as one of the brightest young talents in the game, highlighting his impressive track record and fearless approach. Kjettrup, who turned professional in 2024, was a standout college prospect, becoming just the fourth three-time All-American in Florida State University history. His achievements include ending his college career with four rounds of 64 or lower, possessing the second-best scoring average in FSU history, and being a co-medalist at the 2024 ACC Championships. As an amateur, Kjettrup had multiple wins, showcasing his talent and potential in the world of golf.
The general manager of Cleeks GC, Jonas Martensson, expressed his pride in welcoming Kjettrup to the team, emphasizing the player’s embodiment of talent, sportsmanship, and the drive to redefine the future of golf. Kjettrup’s signing aligns with Cleeks GC’s vision and values, and they are confident that he will have a significant impact on and off the golf course. Kjettrup’s addition follows the recent signing of Yubin Jang by the Iron Heads, making him the second young player to join the 54-hole league this offseason.
Cleeks GC is looking to build upon their success from last year, where they secured the LIV Golf Houston team title but finished eighth in the season-long race. Kaymer, along with his quartet of players, aims to improve their standings in the upcoming season. The departure of Finnish pro Kalle Samooja from the PIF-backed circuit has opened up a spot for Kjettrup to make his mark in the highly competitive world of professional golf. As the team finalizes its roster and prepares for the 2025 season, fans and experts are eager to see how this talented group of players will fare in the LIV Golf League.
