Although Viktor Hovland comes to Sentry 2025 with an injury, he remains committed to competing in the DP World Tour's Hero Dubai Desert Classic. The move came as a relief to golf fans as his toe injury did not affect his schedule.
Hovland is currently playing in the 2025 Sentinel Tournament in Kapalua, Hawaii, and is tied for 29th at 7 under after two rounds. While he performed well, his place in the game seemed questionable after he injured his toe on the bed. Still, he didn't quit the race and has now signed up for another one.
On Saturday, January 4, DP World Tour confirmed Viktor Hovland’s participation in the Hero Dubai Desert Classic. The event is scheduled to be held at the Emirates Golf Club from January 16 to 19.
Hovland returns to the Hero Dubai Desert Classic for the first time since 2022, when he defeated Richard Brand in a playoff to win his second title on the DP World Tour.
When will Viktor Hovland tee off on Day 3 of Sentry 2025?
Viktor Hovland joins Patrick Cantlay and Patton Kizzire in the Sentry 2025 third round. The trio will tee off on the first hole Saturday at 1:12 p.m. ET.
Hideki Matsuyama is one shot ahead of Collin Morikawa at 16 under after the Sentinel 2025 second round.
