Viktor Hovland has been one of the best golfers of this season on the PGA Tour. The 25-year-old is a rising star in the world of golf and has performed exceptionally so far in 2023.
The Norwegian golfer won the US Amateurs in 2018 and has been consistent ever since.
However, Hovland isn't the only golfer in his family. He has two siblings, a brother and a sister, out of which one is a golfer too.
Julie Hovland is the younger sister of Viktor and has a love for golf just like her brother. She was part of the women's golf team at the University of Alabama.

Julie also registered a victory at the Sage Meadows Track in 2020 at Arkansas. She is regarded as a talented golfer just like her brother. Additionally, she has also studied business management and was a prominent student-athlete in college.
On the other hand, Viktor Hovland's brother Mats Eriksen Hovland is a graduate of the prestigious BI Norwegian Business School in the field of Business Marketing. However, not much is known about his personal life as he has kept it under wraps.
Viktor Hovland has built up a massive lead in the Tour Championship
The third round of the Tour Championship saw some intense action where Viktor Hovland established a hefty lead at the top of the leaderboard. The 25-year-old shot a 4-under 66 to help himself to 20-under for the championship. Xander Schauffele currently occupies the second place and is six strokes behind.
This would be back-to-back championship wins for Hovland, who also won the BMW Championship in the FedEx Cup playoffs. He looks like the prime candidate to win the iconic trophy and has been proud of his performance so far.
“I don’t think I’ve ever played this well before. With this stretch, just putting all the short game and stuff together. I’ve certainly hit the ball this good before," Hovland said (via SB Nation).
He added:
"I feel like I’ve hit the ball better than I have this week and even last week. It’s about putting it all together.”
Viktor Hovland is about to make history at the Tour Championship with his hefty 6-shot lead. With this win, the Norwegian would also earn an estimated prize amount of $18 million.
