Viktor Hovland is a golfer who has delighted everyone in a short period of time. The Norwegian really left a great impression on everyone, considering the level of play he has shown lately. Winning the FedEx Cup title was a confirmation of his quality.
In addition to the fact that he won an important trophy, Hovland also won a huge prize of up to $14 million dollars. At the press conference, he received many interesting questions, and one of them was whether money was the main thought in his head during the tournament; “Obviously it's a lot of cash you're playing for.
I mean, it's in the back of your mind,” -Viktor said, as per golfmonthly.com. “But I live in Stillwater, Oklahoma. Money goes a long ways there. It's not like I'm spending money out the wazoo every week. I don't need a lot to be happy.
I don't need a lot to live within my means”. The Norwegian is someone who is used to money, and it is obvious that it is not the main motive for him. There are many things that drives him at this moment. “It's nice for my family to have that protection and my, you know, eventual kids, that I'll have in the future.
It's nice to have that, but it's not something that drives me, it's not something that gives me meaning. I find meaning in other places. But obviously with how society works, money is something you need."
