Viktor Hovland Friday Night in Orlando, Florida is a great place to have drinks. This has become a 25-year-old’s annual tradition.
Hovland took the second round of the Arnold Palmer Invitational and walked up to the No. 3 hole. 7, and sank the fourth hole-in one of his career with one of the most stunning aces.
Perfect speed. Perfect bounce. Perfect line. It was perfection. Hovland made Hovland’s 183-yard shot look easy.

BetMGM offered -125 to any player who hit a hole in one this weekend, after the “no hole in one” opening at -135. Over the past 10 tournaments, the API has seen nine Aces. This includes three in 2021. So the smart money was on Orlando.
Hovland now has to maintain his ace-per year streak on the PGA Tour. He also had aces at the 2022 BMW Champion and 2022 Players’ Championship. After picking up the tab at Bay Hill on Friday, he doesn’t have to worry about it.
