Hovland collects $18m bonus on taking FedEx Cup in Georgia‘What a finish, what a guy,’ says Europe captain Luke Donald
The finest fortnight of Viktor Hovland’s career has boosted European hopes of reclaiming the Ryder Cup in Rome. On putting performance alone, the 25-year-old must be striking fear into previously bullish Americans.
Hovland, who shot a closing 61 to win the BMW Championship last weekend, backed up his heroics with comfortable success at the Tour Championship. A euphoric Hovland therefore took delivery of the FedEx Cup and $18m bonus as attached. The Norwegian has catapulted himself firmly into the world’s elite; which will be much to the delight of Luke Donald, Europe’s Ryder Cup captain. Less than a month will pass before Hovland, Donald and the rest of the team land in Italy.
