Söderberg played college golf at Coastal Carolina University where he won twice.[1]

Söderberg turned professional in 2013 and won twice on the Nordic Golf League that season.[2][3]

In 2014, he played all three stages of the European Tour qualifying school,[4] finishing 39th. This earned him membership of the Challenge Tour for 2015.

Söderberg then played on the European Tour and Challenge Tour in 2015. In 2016, he won the inaugural event of the 2016 Challenge Tour season, the Barclays Kenya Open.[5] He won the Omega European Masters in 2019 in a five-man playoff.[6]

In January 2020, Söderberg set a record for the European Tour by playing the quickest round in the final round of the Dubai Desert Classic. Teeing off first with a local marker and his caddie, he decided to attempt it and shot a round of 75; a better score than 30 golfers who played at normal pace. Söderberg played in 96 minutes, beating the previous record of 119 minutes set by Thomas Pieters.[7]
