PGA Tour Star Viktor Hovland Shows Off Vacation Thirst Trap For Fans
Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content.
Viktor Hovland is among the PGA Tour's young heartthrobs who have captured the ladies' attention since he hit the professional scene.
There are a handful of Hovland trackers on X, formerly known as Twitter, that document not only his golf but also his activities outside the sport.
This week, the Norwegian golfer is overseas on vacation with a group of friends. They began to share photos and videos from the trip, and his trackers started posting content.
The three accounts that were at the forefront of the action were X users Viktorious Hovland, Hovland Updates and Daily Hovi. These three do not miss a thing the 2023 FedEx Cup champ does.

They also shared rare footage of the 7-time PGA Tour winner letting loose and having fun.

However, the posts didn't stop there.
They continued to share what Hovland was up to and did not leave anything out.

Really good at golf. Really bad at putting on sunscreen. pic.twitter.com/uCa3S7Kgw0 — Hovland Updates (@ViktorHovi) July 5, 2025
Then they posted a wild photo of Hovland with a shirt that says "haven't lost my virginity because I never lose," and that post went nuts on social media. It showed off his personality, and the people loved it.

X account, Nuclr Golf, notorious for posting various golf content, even posted about it after the original poster's content gained traction.
What Hovland does away from the course often goes unnoticed, but this boy's trip did not. He is among the fan favorites, but for the most part, Hovland is relatively absent from social media. His friends documented this trip, and now the world can see Hovland's personality in full force.
At tournaments, there are often women who follow the 27-year-old because they find him attractive. It goes deeper, though, as Golf.com's social media guru Claire Rogers pointed out earlier in June.
"Was just telling the guy next to me that Viktor Hovland has taken over Gen Z TikTok and that gals are making thirst trap slow-mo edits of him. Turns out it was his agent!," she posted.
Well, the girls who love him now have more content on Hovland to enjoy.
The reigning Valspar winner hasn't played on Tour since he withdrew during the Travelers Championship final round with a neck injury.
After his withdrawal in Connecticut, Hovland headed home to Norway for a break and to play in his best friend Kevin Wright's tournament, the Wright Invitational at Kragerø Golf & Resort, on June 28.
It seems that the break gave the former Oklahoma State Cowboy a reset ahead of the last major, the Open at Royal Portrush, in a couple of weeks.
Hovland may not be in Silvis, Illinois, for the John Deere Classic, but he did steal the attention with his boys' trip to Spain.

Aldrich Potgieter withdraws after third round John Deere Classic
Aldrich Potgieter began Saturday's third round of the John Deere Classic just three shots off the lead. He won't even play Sunday. Potgieter, who notched his maiden PGA Tour victory last Sunday at the Rocket Classic, carded a 5-over 76 to plummet to 4 under, which tied him for 58th at the time. About two hours later, however, the 20-year-old South African withdrew from the tournament. A reason was not provided by Potgieter or PGA Tour officials. He is listed in next week's field for the Genesis Scottish Open, which will mark his third straight start but only his fourth since late May as Potgieter took four weeks off – he said the break was to recharge and fit some new equipment – following the Charles Schwab Challenge at Colonial. Also, Potgieter is not currently qualified for The Open, though at No. 49 in the Official World Golf Ranking, he could get in via the reserve list, which is based off of Monday's world-ranking update.

Arlington Heights' Doug Ghim loses his lead, drops out of the top 20 at the PGA's John Deere Classic
SILVIS, Ill. — Davis Thompson made a 10-foot birdie putt on the 18th hole Saturday to break out of a logjam that at one point featured 10 players tied for the lead, giving him a 4-under 67 on a much tougher golf course and a one-shot lead in the John Deere Classic. Thompson was among five players tied for the lead when he stood over his final putt, after Brian Campbell had just holed a 30-foot birdie putt. His final birdie put him at 15-under 198, one shot ahead of Campbell, Max Homa, Emiliano Grillo and David Lipsky, each of whom had a 68. About the only player not in the mix was 36-hole leader Doug Ghim, who played his last 10 holes with two bogeys and no birdies and shot 74, pushing him outside the top 20. Thompson had a birdie-birdie finish, though he missed an 8-foot eagle attempt on the par-5 17th hole. He will try to become the first player to win back-to-back at the John Deere Classic since Steve Stricker won three in a row from 2009 through 2011. Also at stake for Thompson is a chance to get into the British Open, as a victory would move him to the top of the alternate list determined by the next world ranking. But the final 18 holes feels a lot longer off considering how many players are very much in the mix going into Sunday. 'Nice to have some momentum going into tomorrow,' Thompson said. Camilo Villegas (69) and Austin Eckroat (67) were among four players three shots behind. Matt Kuchar (67) and Auburn junior Jackson Koivun were in the group four back. Thirteen players were within four shots of the lead. Of the top 14 players, only Lipsky, Koivun and Kevin Roy have yet to win on the PGA Tour. Homa is the most proven of the lot, though he has been trying to pull himself out of a deep slump that has left him on the outside of just trying to make the PGA Tour playoffs this year. Homa was steady again, even after one of his rare misses. He was some 40 yards left of the green at the par-5 10th, even going across the road, but managed to escape with par and then took advantage of the scoring holes on the back nine for his 68. Homa last won on the PGA Tour in January 2023 at Torrey Pines. He has been under scrutiny this year for his poor form — more than a year since his last top 10 — while changing coaches, equipment and twice changing caddies. 'Golf has just been very boring for me this year. I haven't had a whole lot of stress, and you want to be stressed out. So I look forward to the butterflies in the morning; I look forward to the first tee shot,' Homa said. 'It's just nice to get to feel that again. It's been a while.' This was not the same TPC Deere Run that yielded low scores over the opening two rounds. The starting times were moved up to avoid afternoon thunderstorms, and hot weather and wind combined to make the greens firmer and fasters. Plus, several of the pins were tucked along the edges, punishing misses on the wrong side. No one shot lower than 66 in the third round. There were 28 scores of 65 or better over the opening two rounds. 'Certainly makes for a fun Sunday when a bunch of guys have a chance,' Kuchar said. One of them is Koivun, still four shots back but with a chance to make it two years in a row with an amateur winning on the PGA Tour. Nick Dunlap won The American Express last year in January and left Alabama to turn pro, having $20 million signature events to play. Koivun already is assured a PGA Tour card through the PGA Tour University accelerated program, but is deferring that to return to Auburn. 'It's obviously very inspiring to see what he did about a year ago now,' Koivun said. 'Obviously, to be one of the few (amateurs) to win a professional event would be great. At the end of the day I just got to go give it my best shot and be happy with the result.'

Jessica Simpson Wears Tiny Red Bikini as She Snaps New Mirror Selfie While Celebrating Fourth of July
Jessica Simpson shared a mirror selfie on Instagram of herself wearing a tiny red bikini as she celebrated the Fourth of July holiday She accessorized her stylish swimwear look with oversized white sunglasses Simpson's latest selfie comes after she debuted a dirty blonde hair transformation during the season 23 finale of American Idol in MayJessica Simpson put a patriotic spin on her latest swimwear look. As she celebrated the Fourth of July holiday on Friday, the pop star, 44, shared a new mirror selfie on her Instagram Stories, showing off her festive outfit. She sported a tiny red bikini, topped with an olive green, military-inspired short-sleeve shirt, worn unbuttoned. Her accessories included a large pair of white sunglasses and a printed bandana headband. A navy blue baseball cap decorated with the letters "USA" and an American flag emblem could be seen sitting on the bathroom counter. Simpson's selfie was fittingly soundtracked by the Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers classic "American Girl." The fashion mogul has been having a little fun with her personal style lately. On May 31, she tried out a goth glam look for a night out to the We Matter x Limitless Mental Health Dinner in Los Angeles. Her ensemble featured a black satin mini slip dress with lingerie-inspired lace trim around the bust. She amped up her look by wearing a black feathered cropped jacket over the dress, along with black sheer stockings and black pointy-toe platform boots. A ring adorned with two large turquoise stones added a pop of bright color to her all-black fashion moment. Simpson also recently shook things up by making a change to her signature blonde hair. While making a special appearance during the season 23 finale of American Idol on May 18, the mom of three debuted freshly dyed dirty blonde hair with sun-kissed highlights. Her longtime hair guru and friend, celebrity colorist Rita Hazan, described Simpson's new shade to PEOPLE as "desert sunset blonde." Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. She said it took "two hours" to complete. According to Hazan, Simpson "loved" her new hair color. "She was so happy to get a new look and switch it up," Hazan said. "She always had a super buttery blonde — this time we wanted something new and youthful." "I think it's a fresh and young vibe, but with confidence and a slight attitude to represent her mood," the stylist added. Prior to her American Idol appearance, Simpson told PEOPLE that her "style evolves as I do on a personal level, through each stage of my life." She also said she draws fashion inspiration from nearly anywhere — and is a Pinterest devotee. "Anything from a vintage printed wallpaper in a movie I am watching or a performance piece displayed in an old documentary," Simpson explained. "Everyone who knows me knows I am observant. I never miss a detail. Inspiration comes at me in visceral ways, every single day. And I honestly don't know what I would do without Pinterest." Read the original article on People
