Viktor Hovland Opens Up: ‘My Game Isn’t Where It Needs to Be

Reigning FedEx champion Viktor Hovland has candidly admitted that his game is currently not up to par.

“My game is not very good at the moment,” Hovland shared. “I’m struggling with my ball striking, my putting feels off, and my chipping isn’t where it needs to be. Overall, I’m just not playing the golf I know I can.”

Hovland’s recent performances have reflected these challenges. He faced disappointment by missing the cut at both the RBC Canadian Open and the John Deere Classic, and he ended up tied for 58th at the Rocket Mortgage Classic.

After a disappointing 2022 season where he failed to clinch any tournament victories and slipped out of the world’s top 10 rankings, Hovland is eager to make a strong comeback in 2023. However, with both his toe injury and coaching change looming over him, achieving that goal may prove challenging
