Viktor Hovland Aims to Overcome Recent Struggles at Memorial Tournament

Posted : 28 May 2025

Viktor Hovland has recently faced widespread scrutiny over his swing, prompting speculation about whether his struggles stem from mental or physical challenges. As he prepares for the Memorial Tournament in Dublin, Ohio, Hovland is determined to put those doubts behind him.

 

The 27-year-old Norwegian has made a name for himself on the PGA Tour since turning pro in 2019, notching seven victories including The Valspar Championship earlier this year and a memorable playoff win at the 2023 Memorial against Denny McCarthy.

 

Despite his past successes, Hovland has had a tough stretch lately, finishing outside the top 20 in three of his last four tournaments, including respectable but underwhelming showings at The Masters, Truist Championship, and the PGA Championship.

 

Reflecting on his past performances at Muirfield Village Golf Club, Hovland noted the difficulty of the course but also the satisfaction of finally winning there in 2023—a milestone that marked his first victory in the United States on a major golf course against a strong field.

 

Hovland described the course as both challenging and stressful, especially when windy conditions prevail. He highlighted the thick rough and tricky crosswinds that make hitting fairways a tough task. According to him, players who struggle off the tee are forced to battle just to make pars, underscoring the demanding nature of the Memorial Tournament’s venue.

 

When asked about the balance between mental and physical issues affecting his game, Hovland stressed the importance of both. He explained that while the mental aspect gains importance as a player’s game improves, technical flaws in the swing must be fixed first to achieve consistency.

 

 Ultimately, he acknowledged that no amount of mental toughness can compensate for poor shot execution on a course like Muirfield—improvement requires both confidence and precise physical skill.
