Viktor Hovland’s driver swing, from set-up to finish

SportLocation Golf Desk · 7 Oct 2026

Hovland moves from a still address into a high backswing, then completes the swing and holds his balance.

Viktor Hovland’s swing begins with a quiet detail: the driver head rests close to the ground beside the teed ball. From that settled address, he takes the club high behind him before turning through the shot.

The sequence is easy to read because the finish stays in view. Hovland holds the club across his shoulders and looks downrange, balanced on his lead side. The ball’s flight is not clearly visible, so the moment is in the shape of the swing itself: set-up, turn, and a controlled finish.
