The 26-year-old has not revealed much about his personal relationships publicly, and as per reports, the 4th-best worldwide is currently single. But the fans, as expected, have some speculations. The prominent ones include the speculations about him having a girlfriend and the others about his sexual orientation.

Early in 2023, the fans speculated Hovland was dating a Norwegian influencer, Kristin Sorsdal. It started when the two were spotted together a few times. This sparked a rumor among fans who anticipated the dating news would be out soon. But nothing was confirmed, leaving the assumptions in the face of mere speculation.

Currently, there is no evidence of Hovland being involved in a relationship with anyone. But the star recently made news after the rumors about fans finding his Tinder profile. A video was shared on Twitter of a fan interacting with pictures on Hovland’s speculated Tinder profile, which gained some attention among golf enthusiasts, putting the young player under the limelight.
