A biography for Viktor Hovlandhasn’t been written yet.
“It's just sometimes the game of golf - you try to do the same every day - but then things aren't the same every day when you go to the golf course.”
“I've always had a very consistent stroke. It might not be perfect, but if you can start the ball on line and do that consistently, you know, you're doing all right.”
“I don't need a lot to be happy.”
“Obviously you have to have some talent to play on the PGA Tour, but my talent wasn't so much the physical, it was understanding concepts and taking information and applying it to myself, and getting better at doing it over time.”
“When I'm playing my best golf, it almost feels like I have a wall down the left side of the fairway, and I can just try to hit it up against the wall; and it always comes off of it.”
“Shoes are critical for me because I use my feet to read greens.”
“Sometimes when you ask a question and you get some answers, that leads you down a different path and opens up some new questions and you pursue a different path.”
“Everyone is going to hit bad shots.”
“I'd like to think of myself as a thinker.”
“Obviously, sometimes - most of the time - you can't control the outcome. But if you make fundamentally sound decisions over time, you're going to increase your likelihood of being successful.”
“I put so much pressure on myself to play perfect golf because I felt like I had to play perfect golf to win tournaments. But I don't believe that I have to do that anymore.”
“We've gotten sold that we have all the answers but there's just so much we don't know.”
“If I can continue to strike it the way I need to or I do, and just slowly improve around the greens and work on my inefficiencies, I think that's going to make a big difference.”
“I just want to play against the best players in the world.”
“Without the players, there is nothing.”
“I guess I've always been a fan of Dustin Johnson's golf swing, because I have a lot of similar things to him.”
“Yes, you don't get endless amounts of opportunities to win major championships, so obviously when you're in the heat of the moment, you want to take advantage of those.”
“My mom and dad are pretty happy people. Norway is a pretty happy country.”
“Well, I will say I'm a pretty analytical person and I do like to try new things because it's fun.”
“I think it's just kind of in the moment when you're playing bad, you just wanna go home.”
