Seems like he was hinting at that with his equipment changes at the US Open. Good for him. He should be a lot of fun to watch.

I remember watching him in the US Amateur, the radio guys were all talking about Cole Hammer, didn't say much about Hovland. Glad to see him continuing that success at the Maters and US Open. Playing the first 2 rounds with Koepka and Moli had to be pretty awesome. Hung in there with them too for the most part.

Figured. He had near a full ping bag anyway.

 

Love this kid. I really predict great things. Loads of raw tools.

Just to be clear, you want a professional golfer, who’s been building up loans for years of amateur golf and will now be on the road 30+ weeks a year, not to sign a contract?

Why not? If hes good enough to win he can make the money in the top 10-20 each week going forward easily.

 

Handicapping himself to one brand doesn't make sense.

How is having a company hand-make you clubs to your desired specs and wants being handicapped, exactly? It's not like he's got to use Northwesterns he bought off the shelf at Sears.

Yeah, that’s worked out very poorly for Woods, McIlroy, Woodland, Rose, DJ, Koepka, Nicklaus, Kuchar, Fowler, Faldo, Norman, Watson, Schauffle, Scott, Spieth, Bubba, Sorenstam, Thomas, Mickelson, Ochoa, Singh, Garcia, Couples, Player, Tseng, and a few hundred others. Really crushed their career growth and I’m sure did nothing for their financial security. Dumb move by all.

No, he just needs to claim economic asylum, that's the new fad.

Great decision, this guy is shaping up to be a star on tour someday. Pretty well rounded game and seems to have a good head on his shoulders.

That's not handicapping and not taking that easy sponsorship money would be completely foolish.

Good point. Looks like he is not a US Citizen at the moment. Perhaps he will consider becoming one in the future.

Ping was a great choice. Literally can play anything he wants from smallest MB to largest iron on earth. Great Woods , and use any ball you want. Best contract to sign .

Yeah, yeah, I realize it's wishful thinking on my part. Stenson will probably take him under his wing and they'll dominate together. Europe RC team is looking really strong lately. We'll take Matt Wolff though. US needs new blood. Lots of incredible college golfers turning pro this year. Bright futures for both RC teams really, gonna be exciting to watch!

i'm sure he's among norway's best/brightest , so no worries from either side on that issue ...
