Viktor Hovland Suffers Toe Injury Ahead of PGA Tour

Viktor Hovland has revealed he sustained a freak injury to his right pinky toe, reportedly caused by stubbing it against a bed frame during the Christmas holidays. The world No. 8 shared an X-ray of the injury on Instagram, humorously captioning it 'Bed frame 1 - 0 me.' As he prepares for the PGA Tour's season-opening Sentry Tournament of Champions in Hawaii, Hovland remains hopeful that painkillers and tape will allow him to compete, although the course is known for its challenging walk. Meanwhile, fellow golfer Scottie Scheffler will miss the tournament due to a hand injury he sustained while preparing Christmas dinner, requiring surgery to remove glass fragments. Both players are coming off a challenging year, with Hovland having previously struggled with performance and swing changes, and Scheffler being the reigning world No. 1. As the tournament approaches, the status of Hovland's participation remains uncertain.
