In 1993 Haeggman became the first Swede to play for the European Team in the Ryder Cup. He was out of the game for nearly two years following an ice hockey accident in 1994 which left him with a dislocated shoulder and broken ribs, which deprived him of the chance to play in the following Ryder Cup, and he has not represented Europe again. He also missed half a season after breaking his ankle playing ice hockey in December 2002.

Week 30 in July 2004, he was ranked 39th in the Official World Golf Ranking.
