Forum Thread of the Day: “Viktor Hovland signing with Ping”
Today’s Forum Thread of the Day comes from Dave D and it surrounds Viktor Hovland’s future as a Ping staffer. There has been plenty of chatter on our forums after Dave D shared this post from @golfnation_’s Instagram account.
Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.
- cvhookem3: “Seems like he was hinting at that with his equipment changes at the US Open. Good for him. He should be a lot of fun to watch.”
- bladehunter: “Figured. He had near a full ping bag anyway. Love this kid. I really predict great things. Loads of raw tools.”
- ImagineThat: “I think we’ll be seeing a lot of Viktor Hovland in the future…enough where his name will no longer appear strange. He seems to really be an upbeat guy with a nice personality, and he has a nice friendly smile to go with it.”
Golf Digest’s E. Michael Johnson reported Hovland is now a Ping man, writing he “signed a multi-year deal with Ping to play a minimum of 11 clubs, including driver and putter, along with a Ping staff bag and logo on the hat.”
An all-star collegiate career and he's just getting started. ???? Welcome to the family. #PlayYourBest pic.twitter.com/4LmtsixOgH

I think he is a great addition to the Tour. As long as he doesn’t let one of these phony so called “Teachers” get their paws soon him and ruin him like so many have he wii be great to watch. His personality and game is sorely needed out there among all the sober looking robots.
Good luck Viktor, and lots of wins.
