Viktor Hovland is the name that has been the topic of talk with all the rumors and injuries. It has been ever since the LIV Golf Switch rumor spread with the name of the Norwegian, even though he has updated about his decision not to switch the league. His statement didn’t assure the fans about his decision. As he shared earlier, the offer wasn’t appealing to him. Fans see a better offer as a possible reason for him to switch leagues.

While amid the rumors, his actions are being connected to the league switch. With the recent announcement of parting ways with his swing coach, Joe Mayo, the golfer said, “We disagreed a bit about the way forward.” Even after the rumors and speculations of him switching, he has been proving loyalty to the associated names.

The 27-year-old golfer has been seen wearing a variety of jerseys at the course, which was a huge change for the fans to witness. He prefers to wear dark colors, but with the recent brand commitments, he was seen in different colors, catching the attention of fans. While in the past, backlash from the fans made him clarify that he wears what the brand wants as they pay him. However, even after the backlash of social media with his fashion sense, he showed his loyalty to the brand by signing a three-year-long contract.

Sharing the details about the deal, Espen Blaker, a Eurosport journalist posted on X. He wrote in Norwegian which translated, “Viktor Hovland has signed a new three-year agreement with J.Lindeberg, who he has represented throughout his professional career. “Lindeberg has been with me through some of the greatest moments in my career, and I am proud to represent the brand in the future as well,” he says.”

His statement about the contract with the brand showcases his loyalty, which might clear the fog of LIV Golf rumors. Hovland has been associated with the brand since 2019 and now the extension has confirmed him staying until 2028. However, even after confirming his presence in the 2025 schedule, he withdrew his name just a few days away from the event.

Why did Viktor Hovland pull back his name after confirmation?

Days after the post was shared on The Sentry’s official Instagram about Viktor Hovland’s return. The news came in about his withdrawal from the event. The golfer shared about his injury through an Instagram post. He shared a photo of his foot’s X-ray, which has a broken toe. As per the details shared by him in his caption, the fracture occurred when he hit the bed frame.

Following the injury, it will take at least a few weeks to recover, which resulted in the name withdrawal even after the confirmation and hope for staying with the PGA Tour. But fans are still unsure about his decision. What are your thoughts on Viktor Hovland’s decision? Will he stay with the PGA Tour or switch to the LIV Golf?
