Golfer Viktor Hovland roasted for ‘sex on the beach’ outfit at PGA Championship

Norwegian golfer Viktor Hovland has once again been roasted after sporting a particularly flamboyant outfit at the PGA Championship.

The golf world is roasting Viktor Hovland again over his bold outfit at the PGA Championship.

The Norwegian pro, who finished the first round Thursday at 2-under, sported a bright orange and yellow ombré polo while competing at Oak Hill Country Club in Rochester, New York.

The NY Post reports Hovland wore the short sleeve top under an orange and blue zip-up jacket, which featured a matching ombré zipper.

It came after the 25-year-old pro wore a pink and white floral shirt during the Masters in April, which garnered ruthless reactions from people on social media — with one person comparing him to “an exploded watermelon.”

Now, Golf Twitter is having a field day again with Hovland’s bright attire.

“Viktor Hovland strikes again with the bad shirt,” one user wrote.

“I love Viktor Hovland with all my heart but these fits absolutely need to stop,” another said.

A separate tweet compared Hovland’s shirt to the alcoholic cocktail, “sex on the beach.”

Some fans compared his look in a zip-up jacket to a Dutch speed skater.

“Viktor Hovland is dressed like the Headless Horseman in a jockey uniform for the Halloween Derby,” someone wrote.

Hovland said his sponsor, J. Lindeberg, supplied him with flamboyant outfits and he simply does what he’s told.

“They script me with this stuff, and they pay me money to do so, so I just show up and wear what they want me to wear,” he said.

In April, his floral shirt from J.Lindeberg turned heads on the course in Augusta, where he was paired with Tiger Woods and Xander Schauffele in the first two rounds of the Masters.

The polo was covered in Azalea flowers, which pays homage to the 13th hole “Azalea” at Augusta National.

When Hovland was asked about his Masters attire, he said he had nothing to do with picking out his fit. “I just wear what they tell me to wear,” he said, laughing, during an interview with ESPN’s Scott Van Pelt.

“It’s definitely a little bit out there, but I’d rather take these than the pink pants I had last year.”
