“This guy is a treasure” – Fans react to Viktor Hovland's ‘best soundbites’ at PGA Tour events
Viktor Hovland is a man with a unique sense of humor that is often displayed during his public interviews. Hovland, who won the Memorial Tournament earlier this month, is gradually becoming a fan favorite. People adore him not just for his play but for his awkward humor as well
The PGA Tour recently posted a compilation of Hovland's soundbites, and they were hilarious. In one of his interviews, he was asked to rename 'golf', and his suggestion was 'whacko'.
When one reporter asked the 25-year-old golfer about his workout routine in one clip, this is what he responded:
"It's you know the JL , I called it. They have the auto jacked shirt, you know. They just fit around the arms so they look huge even though they're really small."
As entertaining off the course as he is on it 😊
