Viktor Hovland: Early Life And Parents

On September 18th, 1997 Viktor Hovland was born in Oslo, Norway. Viktor appears to be the only child to his mother, Galina Hovland, and father, Harald Hovland.

Harald is said to work for a private company in the united states where his mother is a stay-at-home wife. Although he was born in Norway, his family later moved to Oklahoma where he received an education and went to university.

Since the age of 11, Viktor played golf with his father who picked up the love for the game when they moved to the united states as an engineer at the time.

Following high school, Hovland went to Oklahoma State University in Stillwater. While completing his studies, he played for the team and did exceptionally well (as we can all imagine).

Viktor Hovland: Personal Life, Wife, Family, And More

Viktor seems to be fairly private when it comes to sharing anything about his life outside of golf. From what we can tell he is not yet married, nor does he have a girlfriend. So lucky for you ladies, he is single and on the market!

With his incredible feats at such a young age, there is no doubt that he is not being noticed by appropriate suiters but for now – all we know is that golf is his first love, and definitely at the top of his priority list.

Viktor Hovland: Career

Viktor’s amateur wins date back to 2013 when he was only 16 and already starting to make a career out of golf.

It was in 2019, age 21, where he turned professional – following the 2019 U.S Open and made his debut at the Travellers Championship. Hovland wanted no time wasted and it was in August 2019 he tied second at the Albertsons Boise Open.

As we all may know, securing a PGA Tour card is a huge achievement within the golfing community – all golfers wish to get themselves one of these cards and it was only 8 months into going professional that Viktor was able to do just that.

Not only is Hovland trying to raise eyebrows by pushing the boundaries, in 2020 he became the first young (and only) Norwegian to win the PGA Tour when he ranked first at the Puerto Rico Open.

It doesn’t seem to end there for Viktor, in 2021 he was the first Norwegian to win the European Tour – he likes to stand out!

Viktor Hovland: Where Is He Now?

Viktor Hovland does not wait around. He started 2022 off with a bang placing in the top 5 at the European Tour in Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship in January of 2022.

Following that incredible achievement, he then won the Dubai Desert Classic, making a birdie on the first hole to one-up Richard Bland – and he did just that!

Currently, Viktor is number three in the Official World Golf Ranking and we do not doubt that he is going to be making it to number one very soon!
