Viktor Hovland

Viktor Hovland is a Norwegian professional golfer with numerous accolades to his name. His golfing career spans across the PGA Tour and the European Tour, where he has made significant strides in the game. Hovland's victory at the 2020 Puerto Rico Open marked him as the first Norwegian to win on the PGA Tour. Similarly, his win at the 2021 BMW International Open also made him the first Norwegian to win on the European Tour. He has accumulated a total of 11 professional wins, including seven on the PGA Tour and two on the European Tour. Among his notable achievements is his win at the 2023 FedEx Cup.

Hovland's prowess in golf is further highlighted by his consecutive wins at the Hero World Challenge in 2022, matching the achievement of Tiger Woods. His impressive record includes a T2 at the 2023 PGA Championship and a third-place finish at the 2025 U.S. Open. His participation in the Ryder Cup for Europe in 2021, 2023, and 2025 has been instrumental in their victories, particularly in the latter two years. In the 2023 Ryder Cup, Hovland set a record for the largest winning margin in an 18-hole match.

His performance in other tournaments is equally noteworthy. The Mayakoba Golf Classic saw him emerge as champion twice, in 2020 and 2021. In the Slync.io Dubai Desert Classic in January 2022, Hovland claimed another victory. His record-breaking performance at the 2023 BMW Championship in August 2023, where he won the tournament with a final round course record of 61, is a testament to his skill and determination. Amid all these successes, it's worth noting that Hovland's journey in golf began with his victory at the U.S. Amateur championship in 2018.
