"Bed frame 1-0 me," he captioned the photo.
Hovland is looking to have a bounce-back year in 2025 after failing to win a single tournament in 2024. He won three times in 2023 – the Memorial Tournament, BMW Championship and Tour Championship – and built momentum toward 2024.
He nearly won the PGA Championship last season but finished in third. Hovland finished tied for 12th in the FedEx Cup standings with Sam Burns.

In 114 events played in his PGA Tour career, Hovland has six wins and five runner-up finishes. He has earned more than $31.3 million.
He’s not the only golfer who may miss the start of the year.
Scottie Scheffler is already set to miss the first signature event of 2025. He needed surgery after he injured his hand on broken glass.
"Small glass fragments remained in the palm, which required surgery. He has been told that he should be back to 100% in three to four weeks," Scheffler’s manager Blake Smith said, adding that Scheffler has officially withdrawn from The Sentry.
Scheffler's next scheduled tournament is the American Express, which begins Jan. 16. This year, the Sentry is labeled a signature event, the first of eight.
