Rather take these than the pink pants, Viktor Hovland makes bold fashion statement at The Mast
Golf is not only a sport but also a fashion statement, and Viktor Hovland made sure to prove this at The Masters’ tournament on Thursday. The Norwegian golfer not only caught the attention of the spectators with his incredible performance but also with his eye-catching outfit. The golfer sported a bright, floral shirt from J. Lindeberg that left everyone mesmerized.
Hovland’s polo shirt was covered in big Azalea flowers, paying homage to the 13th hole “Azalea” at Augusta National. It’s not uncommon for golfers to wear outfits that have a significant meaning to the course. However, Hovland’s outfit was exceptional, and it became a topic of discussion on social media. Fans were quick to express their opinions, with many praising the golfer’s bold choice.
Despite the mixed reactions on social media, Hovland has opened up about his thoughts on the outfit. In an interview with ESPN’s Scott Van Pelt, the 25-year-old made sure to emphasize that it wasn’t his choice to wear the shirt. He said, “I had nothing to do with it. I just wear what they tell me to wear. It’s definitely a little bit out there, but I’d rather take these than the pink pants I had last year.”

— JF (@JFleisch13) April 6, 2023i applaud the people who wear something besides the same boring, unimaginative rich white guy uniform. Honestly, golf if barely watchable so the attire could use a makeover.
— Vincent (@Constantcamp) April 6, 2023No shit. We give these guys with clothing deals too much crap or credit. They have outfits pre selected by marketing team for every round. And sometimes we see more then one player in same outfit.
— Jason Ayers (@produceking24) April 6, 2023LOL! Viktor Hovland's outfit may not be his own choice, but he's still rocking it. And honestly, anything is better than those pink pants! 🔥👌 #GolfStyle #FashionForward
