Viktor Hovland Criticizes PGA Tour Leadership, Commits to 2024 Events

Despite understanding Jon Rahm's move to LIV Golf, Hovland prefers the competitive format of the PGA Tour and has no plans to leave.

Overview

  • Viktor Hovland, the world's No. 4-ranked golfer, has criticized the PGA Tour's leadership, accusing them of arrogance and not acting in the players' best interests.
  • Hovland has committed to six PGA Tour events throughout 2024, despite understanding why Jon Rahm left for the Saudi-backed LIV Golf League.
  • Hovland is not a fan of LIV Golf's no-cut format, believing that the competition with 150 players and a cut makes a golfer's game sharper.
  • Rahm, who had similar objections to LIV's format, has been suspended from the PGA Tour, preventing him from playing in The Sentry ahead of LIV Golf's first event of 2024.
  • There is a Dec. 31 deadline for the PGA Tour to finalize a deal with the Public Investment Fund, a process that has generated significant anger from many players due to its secrecy.
