Norway's first golf superstar — FedEx Cup champion and the most consistent European on Tour.
Viktor Hovland was born in Oslo, Norway in 1997. He attended Oklahoma State University in the United States. He became the most successful Norwegian golfer in history — winning the FedEx Cup in 2023. His ball-striking and distance are exceptional. He was eliminated from the 2023 Masters Play-Off on a chip yip — a loss of ability to control short chips — generating enormous technical analysis of the psychological fragility in elite golf. He has since recovered his chipping. He is the Norwegian flag-bearer for European golf.
