“That’s not even music. That’s horrendous” - Viktor Hovland’s heavy metal music taste does not impress his Ryder Cup teammates

Music has the power to lift or lower one's spirits. Something similar is going on with the European Ryder Cup team members. The 2023 Tour Championship winner Viktor Hovland is a devotee of metalcore music and has previously revealed the same to his fans and followers.

However, this time, shortly before the much-anticipated tournament, the European squad discussed Hovland's fondness for the genre. Europe team members joined in to talk about how they disliked the musical genre that Hovland admires. In a recent chat with the PGA Tour, Rory McIlroy, Tyrrell Hatton, and others opened up about their views.

“That’s not even music. That’s horrendous”: one of the 26-year-old golfer's teammates (Matt Fitzpatrick) expressed.

The above video shared by the PGA Tour on X features golfers providing their views on Viktor Hovland's favorite song.

“Sounds like the devil,” Rory McIlroy said. “That’s like the most horrific thing I’ve ever heard in my life.”

Tyrrell Hatton added, “I think you’ve played that for like 15 seconds too long there.”

“That’s brutal," Robert MacIntyre expressed.

Even Jon Rahm joined the conversation and asked, "What is wrong with Viktor?”

Meanwhile, Viktor Hovland continues to support his preferences for music and requests that his teammates allow it to develop over time. According to him, the music is super chaotic.
