Viktor Hovland will face Scottie Scheffler on Sunday. That won’t be his main opponent

Viktor Hovland will compete against Scottie Scheffler in the final round of the Travelers Championship on Sunday, but his bigger battle remains an ongoing struggle with his swing mechanics. Over the past year, since finishing third at the 2025 U.S. Open at Oakmont, Hovland has made coaching changes — splitting with Grant Waite and reuniting with T.J. Yeaton ahead of the Arnold Palmer Invitational — while managing only one top-10 finish in his last six starts of the previous season. The Norwegian has been working to rebuild a consistent, comfortable swing throughout 2026 after setbacks including a neck injury that scratched him from Ryder Cup Sunday singles.
