Hovland, doubtful for the Sentry Tournament

Viktor Hovland has a broken toe and is doubtful for the start of the PGA Tour this week at the Sentry Tournament of Champions in Kapalua, Hawaii. The Norwegian is therefore pushing the deadlines to try to make the tournament.

Hovland, situation

Hovland parted ways with Mayo at the end of 2023 and then got him back in the spring of 2024 while working with a few different coaches. But about a month ago, Hovland stopped using Mayo’s services.

“We were at odds about the way forward, what’s best for me,” said Hovland, 27. “I feel like I’ve learned so much and have so much experience now that I don’t need anyone to hold my hand anymore.”

Still, the Norwegian wants to keep getting help. “It’s always good to have someone who can watch what I’m doing, check the steps I’m taking. I send some videos to another coach, but he’s more of a consultant. I’m the boss of my own swing”.

The Rules of Golf are a set of rules and standard procedures by which the sport of golf should be played. They are jointly written and administered by the Royal & Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews, the governing body of golf throughout the world, except in the United States and Mexico, which are governed by the United States Golf Association. An expert committee, made up of members of the R&A and the USGA, oversees and refines the Rules every four years.

The latest revision was effective January 1, 2016. Changes to the Rules of Golf generally fall into two main categories: those that improve understanding of the Rules and those that reduce penalties in certain cases to ensure balance. The rulebook, entitled “The Rules of Golf,” is published on a regular basis and also includes rules governing amateur status. In Italy, the Federgolf is responsible for supervising competitions by enforcing the rules issued by the R & A, checking that these rules are observed by the Clubs, Associations and their members and managing the resulting sporting justice, protecting their interests abroad.
