"Scottie Scheffler prolly punched it" - Fans react to Viktor Hovland's injury scare ahead of PGA Tour 2025 season

Viktor Hovland suffered an injury scare just a week before the Sentry, the first event of the 2025 season. On Friday, December 27, he broke his toe after hitting it on a bed frame.

On Thursday, Hovland posted an X-ray of his broken toe on Instagram. The Norwegian star’s injury occurred just hours after Scottie Scheffler announced his withdrawal from the Sentry. For context, the World No. 1 golfer injured his hand in a domestic accident on Christmas.

Fans online expressed concerns about Hovland's injury. Here’s a glimpse at some of their reactions:

"Scottie prolly punched it," one fan wrote.

"Ouch. I am on my third set of golf shoes" another fan wrote. "I get pains in my toes that almost make me want to quit by the 9th hole. Definitely gonna sidelong him."

"Real men don’t get X-rays for a wittle pinky toe. Tape it up and get back to the range," this fan commented.

"That’s literally what my toe looks like right now," another user remarked.

"Tape it up (this is actually the treatment) then walk it off for 72 holes," one user opined.

"Growing up had a coffee table with metal caps on the legs… my toes looked like that all the time," another fan posted.
