Fredrik Ulf Yngve Jacobson (born 26 September 1974) is a Swedish professional golfer.
Jacobson was born in Molndal. He turned professional in 1994 and was a member of the European Tour in 1995 and from 1997 to 2004. In 2003 he won his first European Tour title and went on to claim three that season. His fourth place finish on the Order of Merit equalled the Anders Forsbrand's Swedish record set in 1992, and was the first Swede to win three official money events in one season on the European Tour. In 2004 he joined the PGA Tour, where he has performed steadily, but has not yet won a tournament.
In 2003 Jacobson was the top scorer in the Seve Trophy, collecting four and a half points out of five. In 2004 he just missed out on a Ryder Cup place, finishing one place short in both the European Tour rankings and the world ranking points rankings, and not being selected as a captain's pick.
He has featured in the top 20 of the Official World Golf Rankings.
