Viktor Hovland is the talk of the town, not only because he is leading the 2023 PGA Championship, but also due to his fashion.

The Norwegian golfer wore an orange color outfit for the year's second major. During the second round of the competition, a fan commented on his attire as Victor Hovland approached the greens. As one admirer put it:

"I think you look good for the record. "

Hovland replied:

"You like it?"

Fan said:

"Yeah."

Viktor smiled at him and thanked him saying:

"I appreciate it."

The fan continued saying:

"I don't think golf fans really have a right to criticize, like when it comes to fashion sense."

In response, Hovland said:

"I don't give a s**t anyways."

Viktor Hovland led the 2023 PGA Championship following the second round, alongside Scottie Scheffler and Corey Conners. He began the second round with back-to-back birdies on the first two holes before making a bogey on the third. He carded four birdies on Friday to finish with a 67 and led the field by two shots.
