Grew up playing A6 Golf Club in Sweden and says today, "Nothing beats a summer evening round at A6."
Played hockey for about 10 years, eventually giving it up around the time he started high school to focus on golf; he still dreams of playing in the NHL in front of a full crowd at Madison Square Garden.
Favorite teams include HV71, the hockey team he grew up playing for in Sweden, and the New York Rangers (NHL); his favorite athlete is Hockey Hall of Fame inductee and fellow Swede Nicklas Lidstrom, widely regarded as one of the greatest defenseman in NHL history, because Widing idolized him and his playing style as a young hockey player.
