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.

Photo byHovland and his friends have been vacationing throughout Europe. Most recently, they were in Spain, where they celebrated the Fourth of July at a pool party.
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. — 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 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.
