“My Name on There”-25-Year-Old Viktor Hovland Who Leads the $75M ‘Marathon’ Confesses His Ultimate Desire for Glory

The final FedEx Cup playoff event, the Tour Championship, is almost in its last leg with three rounds almost completed. It has been a fierce competition for the past three weeks. All golfers have displayed resilience, and sheer passion to make their way to the top 30. Viktor Hovland currently leads the $75 million marathon and is the top contender to win the cup this year.

Winning after so much hard work would obviously be very rewarding for the 25-year-old golfer. While winning the trophy would itself be quite satisfying, the Norwegian star has another reason for wanting to win too. Let’s find out.

Viktor Hovland talks about what it would mean for him to win 

Hovland’s past three weeks have been very interesting. He entered the East Lake Golf Club with a lot of enthusiasm and zest. His passion for the game has been panning out nicely for him. He maintained the lead in all three rounds of the $75 million race.

After the third round, the 25-year-old golfer was asked what it would mean to him if he won the 2023 FedEx Cup. 

The Norwegian star had a pretty honest answer. Of course, it would mean a lot to him and it would be extremely special. He said that the names on the FedEx Cup trophy are very “special”. Being into the winning mix feels like a “sprint” to him, but making his way to the week was definitely not less than a “marathon.” 

The golfer said that it is hard to win the FedEx Cup if the golfer’s game hasn’t been well in the past few weeks. Sharing about the importance of winning the Cup, he said, “It’s just a great list of names that’s won the tournament, and it would be awesome to have my name on there.”
