We take a look inside the bag of the Norwegian professional.
Viktor Hovland What’s In The Bag?
Norwegian youngster Viktor Hovland has taken the game of golf by storm managing to collect two PGA Tour victories in his first couple of years out on Tour. These came at the Puerto Rico Open and then the Mayakoba Golf Classic, both of which took place in 2020.
Lets get to his current club setup.
At the top of the bag he uses a Ping G425 LST driver which he uses to great effect. He has also been testing longer drivers to seek more distance too. For example before the 2020 Houston Open Hovland decided to test two different builds – one was a 47-inch G425 LST (8.3 degrees); the other was a 48-inch G425 LST (7.8 degrees).
He then carries a TaylorMade SIM fairway wood as you can see above.
Shifting to the irons Hovland carries two different models. He carries a Callaway X Forged UT with a Graphite Design shaft and then he has Ping i210 irons from four-iron down to pitching wedge too.
He then has two Ping Glide 3.0 wedges with 50 and 56 (bent to 55). His final wedge in the bag is a 60 degree Titleist Vokey WedgeWorks
Finally he had been using a TaylorMade TP Black Copper Mullen 2 DB SS putter, and a Ping Sigma 2 Wolverine H model before switching to his current flat-stick, the Ping PLD Prototype ‘Hovi’ as pictured above.
