Kristoffer Ventura (born 24 February 1995) is a Norwegian professional golfer who plays on the Korn Ferry Tour.
Amateur career
Born in Puebla, Mexico to a Mexican father and Norwegian mother, Ventura spent his first years in Mexico before moving to Rygge, Norway, aged 12. As an amateur, he represented Norway at the 2012 and 2016 Eisenhower Trophy, and represented Europe in the 2010 Junior Ryder Cup and the Continent of Europe in the 2011 and 2013 Jacques Léglise Trophy. He was runner-up at the 2011 European Young Masters and won the 2011 French International Boys Championship and the 2012 French Boys Championship.

Professional career
In November 2018, just before final stage of Korn Ferry Tour Qualifying Tournament, Ventura was forced to have an emergency appendectomy. He competed in the event, despite not being able to swing fully, and finished near the bottom, entering the 2019 Korn Ferry Tour season with minimal status. He won the Utah Championship and Pinnacle Bank Championship and earned PGA Tour membership by finishing fourth on the Korn Ferry Tour regular season points list, entering the 2020 PGA Tour 14th in the final priority ranking. After a few weeks on the PGA Tour he moved into the top 150 on the Official World Golf Ranking in October 2019.
