Viktor Hovland expressed shock at the recently revamped layout of the East Lake Golf Club. The course, which hosts the Tour Championship, has undergone significant changes, including the addition of several new bunkers and water hazards.
Hovland, who won the FedEx Cup last year, said the changes will make the course more challenging and exciting.
“I was shocked when I saw the new layout,” Hovland said. “It’s going to be a completely different course than it was last year.”
The most noticeable change is the addition of a new bunker on the 18th hole, which will make it more difficult for players to hit the green in two shots. The fairway has also been narrowed, making it more difficult to drive the ball.
Hovland said he is excited to see how the new layout plays out.
“I think it’s going to be a great test of golf,” Hovland said. “I’m looking forward to the challenge.”
