Jacobson was born in Kungsbacka. 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 two more victories that season. His fourth place finish on the Order of Merit that year equalled 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.
Jacobson won his first PGA Tour title in 2011 at the Travelers Championship. He beat Ryan Moore, who missed a short four footer at the 72nd hole to earn a playoff, and John Rollins by one stroke. After Moore's bogey at the final hole, Jacobson was left with two putts to win his maiden PGA Tour title. During the week, Jacobson went 63 holes bogey-free until the difficult par four 10th on Sunday where he made a five and hit 100% of the fairways during rounds three and four which contributed to his fantastic play and resulting win.
He has featured in the top 20 of the Official World Golf Rankings.
