Viktor Hovland sank a picturesque hole-in-one at the Arnold Palmer Invitational

Viktor Hovland Arnold Palmer Invitational BetMGM Orlando PGA Tour

Drinks are most certainly on Viktor Hovland Friday night in Orlando, Florida and it’s becoming a yearly tradition for the 25-year-old.

During second round play at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, Hovland stepped up to the tee at the par-three No. 7 and sank one of the most beautiful aces you’ll ever see for the fourth hole-in-one of his career.

Perfect speed. Perfect bounce. Perfect line. Just perfection all the way around, really. Hovland made the 183-yard distance look like a simple chip shot.

Any player to hit a hole-in-one this weekend was -125 at BetMGM after “no hole-in-one” opened at -135. The API has seen nine aces over the last 10 tournaments— including three in 2021 — so the smart money was definitely on seeing some magic in Orlando.

Now the pressure is on Hovland to keep his ace-per-year streak alive on the PGA Tour. But he can worry about that after picking up the bar tab at Bay Hill on Friday.
