Viktor Hovland’s favorite song appears to both.
In a Ryder Cup Europe social post, Hovland said his favorite song was “Instill” by Humanity’s Last Breath. The Norwegian notably enjoys heavy metal and this is pretty heavy.
For the amusement of the public – but not for players – Hovland’s European teammates put on headphones and gave the song a listen.

“That’s not even music.” – Matt Fitzpatrick
“It sounds like the devil.” – Rory McIlroy
