Viktor Hovland Splits with Coach Joe Mayo

Norwegian golfer Viktor Hovland has parted ways with his swing coach Joe Mayo for the second time, citing disagreements on the way forward as his reason for the split. Despite a successful 2023 season where he won three PGA Tour events, Hovland struggled throughout 2024, only achieving two top-10 finishes. He reunited with Mayo in early 2024, hoping to regain his form, but ultimately decided he no longer needed a coach to guide him closely, opting instead for a consultant role. Additionally, Hovland faces a setback as he has fractured his right toe after a mishap with a bed frame, casting doubt on his participation in the season-opening Sentry tournament. Speculation about his potential move to LIV Golf has emerged, particularly in light of his desire for more transparency from the PGA Tour. Hovland's future in the upcoming season remains uncertain as he navigates both his coaching changes and injury.
