Speaking about how the golfer could have chosen LIV and regretted it later on, Hovland stated that he makes such a judgment that he does not regret it. In his interview with the Sunday Times, it was mentioned, “That (Joining LIV) question seems to govern every aspect of Hovland’s life, be it his practice routines, fitness regime, or the diet that has transformed him into a six-times PGA Tour winner.” When it comes to alcohol, he rarely consumes Vodka Sodas in the same light.

“I’m probably a tough person to truly get to know. The golfer who came as close as being the runner-up of the 2023 PGA Championship firmly believes that for someone to be close to him, requires a lot of time.

Was Kristin Sorsdal Viktor Hovland’s girlfriend?

The rumor about Hovland dating Kristin Sorsdal became widespread when the fans claimed the duo had been spotted together several times. Kristin Sorsdal is an influencer and a fitness freak; however, the golfer never made anything public about their relationship. Many other fans had also questioned Viktor Hovland’s sexual orientation, as the golfer never let any of his private life’s tidbits out in public.

Last year, the golfer also made headlines after a video surfaced on the internet. It was his Tinder profile with a blue tick next to his name. Shocking? Well, Golf Magic gave their verdict by saying, “It’s definitely Hovland’s Tinder profile, as the blue tick indicates it has been verified. Hovland has told the girls he is 5’10 in his bio, and Wikipedia would tend to agree.”
