And yet, he still has to go through the young-man hazing that is a staple at events like the Presidents Cup.<\/p>\n<p>We already know he had to serenade his fellow Americans with \u201cHeartless\u201d by Kanye West, but Koivun also posed for the time-honored bachelor photo surrounded by the rest of the team\u2019s wives and girlfriends.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s some blushing and the customary hands-over-the-face pose, but Koivun is a 21-year-old phenom, traveling the world playing golf.

There was Rickie Fowler in 2016 at the Hazeltine National Ryder Cup, looking sheepish as his fellow Americans went in for their respective kisses.<\/p>\n<p>   <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/golfdigest.sports.sndimg.com\/content\/dam\/images\/golfdigest\/fullset\/2026\/9\/GettyImages-612072420.jpg.rend.hgtvcom.966.644.suffix\/1790172431487.jpeg\" alt=\"612072420\"\/> <\/p>\n<p>Scott Halleran<\/p>\n<p>  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/golfdigest.sports.sndimg.com\/content\/dam\/images\/golfdigest\/fullset\/2026\/9\/GettyImages-612442260.jpg.rend.hgtvcom.966.644.suffix\/1790172443772.jpeg\" alt=\"612442260\"\/> <\/p>\n<p>Ross Kinnaird<\/p>\n<p>Plus, we can\u2019t forget Viktor Hovland recreating Fowler\u2019s photo after the Europeans\u2019 2023 Ryder Cup victory at Marco Simone.<\/p>\n<p>   <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/golfdigest.sports.sndimg.com\/content\/dam\/images\/golfdigest\/fullset\/2026\/9\/GettyImages-1711763475.jpg.rend.hgtvcom.966.644.suffix\/1790172443632.jpeg\" alt=\"1711763475\"\/> <\/p>\n<p>Naomi Baker<\/p>\n<p>  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/golfdigest.sports.sndimg.com\/content\/dam\/images\/golfdigest\/fullset\/2026\/9\/GettyImages-1711691055.jpg.rend.hgtvcom.966.644.suffix\/1790172432203.jpeg\" alt=\"1711691055\"\/> <\/p>\n<p>Ross Kinnaird<\/p>\n<p>Fowler is now married to track-and-field star Allison Stokke, and the couple has two kids together.
