Overview

  • Viktor Hovland withdrew two holes into Sunday’s final round after feeling neck discomfort that first emerged during his warm-up.
  • He had entered the final round at 6-under-par following a Saturday 63 that included seven bogey-free birdies.
  • Hovland becomes the fourth player to exit the 2025 Travelers Championship, joining Jordan Spieth, Si Woo Kim and Eric Cole.
  • This marks only the second withdrawal of his seven-season PGA Tour career, the first since the 2021 US Open.
  • Multiple top players’ exits have raised questions about the physical demands of playing at TPC River Highlands immediately after the US Open.
