“Very disappointing,” Viktor Hovland says of the PGA Tour, adding that he “completely understands” why Jon Rahm left to join LIV Golf.
The 26-year-old Norwegian said he “completely gets it” why Jon Rahm moved to LIV Golf and reprimanded the work the PGA Visit has done as of late
Viktor Hovland concedes he “thoroughly comprehends” why Jon Rahm left the PGA Visit to join the LIV Golf Association and recommended one of the vital purposes for the Spaniard’s choice could be on the grounds that the PGA Visit’s administration “has done genuinely terrible work” of late.
It is important to point out right away that Hovland does not intend to join LIV and believes he would not have become the golfer he is today if it weren’t for the competition and pressure of the American-based competition.
In any case, the Norwegian star recognized he could see the reason why any semblance of Rahm and others have basically sought after the chance of continuing on when in addition to the fact that there are such outrageous amounts of cash on offer the degree of vulnerability encompassing the PGA Visit is so high.
Speaking to the golf podcast FORE! on Discovery Hovland said the following in English with the quotes translated from his native Norwegian: It would be altogether too senseless to scrutinize the players for leaving. All things considered, you just hear one point in the media, and there are many various parts occurring simultaneously here.
“I completely comprehend why he left. That is a ton, huge load of cash. And at least when the PGA Tour’s management has been so bad. Just all things considered: The position I’m in is not a problem for me, and I’m extremely grateful for everything. However, the administration has not worked effectively. They nearly consider the players to be work, and not as a component of the individuals. All things considered, we are the PGA Visit. Without the players, there isn’t anything.”
The Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund, the PGA Tour, and the DP World Tour are currently in talks to build on the framework agreement from June 6 ahead of the fast-approaching deadline of December 31. However, the consensus is that the date will be pushed back, and the golfing landscape will remain unstable for the time being.
During a wild period for Jay Monahan and his group, a gathering of 20 players as of late kept in touch with the PGA Visit to “request” more noteworthy straightforwardness over potential financial backer recommendations, while one more arrangement of unknown golf players requested “an exceptional gathering” to address various issues they felt distressed at inside the visit.
Proceeding with his basic evaluation of the PGA Visit, Hovland said: ” At the point when you then, at that point, get to see what occurs in secret, how the administration really decides, which are not in the players’ wellbeing, but rather best for them and their thought process is ideal… They are not proficient golf players all things considered. They claim, “no, it should look like this and that,” and they are businessmen. There is a lot of pomposity behind everything.”
Hovland finished the 2023 season in style by coming out on top for the Visit Title by five shots, thus scribing his name on the FedEx Cup and procuring a $18 million reward check. The 26-year-old later said that the eye-watering funds aren’t something that gives him importance and he would keep on living in Oklahoma for a long time to come.
The Norwegian later proceeded to assist with joining Europe win the Ryder Cup at Marco Simone, close by now-LIV Golf player, Rahm.
