Viktor Hovland has made another instructor change ahead of this week\u2019s Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill.<\/p>\n
The seven-time PGA Tour<\/a> winner has split with Grant Waite and reunited with instructor T.J. Yeaton, who he briefly worked with earlier in 2025.<\/p>\n According to an interview with Golfweek<\/a>, Yeaton walked the course with Hovland<\/a> during Wednesday\u2019s practice pro-am at Bay Hill, and the Norwegian revealed he travelled to Nashville last week to work with him.<\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019s someone that I\u2019ve worked with before and communicated with at times and I think he\u2019s really smart,\u201d Hovland told the publication.<\/p>\n \u201cGolf is a complicated puzzle and sometimes it just takes a different perspective or hearing things explained a different way. What T.J.\u2019s been telling me has resonated and I\u2019ve been seeing good things in practice.\u201d<\/p>\n Article continues below ADVERTISEMENT<\/p>\n Article continues below ADVERTISEMENT<\/p>\n Hovland, 28, started working with Waite after missing the cut at Bay Hill last year, before winning the Valspar Championship two weeks later.<\/p>\n The World No. 17 has made four starts this season, including a T14 at the Hero Dubai Desert Classic and a T10 at the WM Phoenix Open, but said he is still searching for more control off the tee.<\/p>\n \u201cI get the most satisfaction from hitting the shots I want,\u201d Hovland added.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cI know I\u2019m a very good golfer and can overcome things, but it\u2019s hard to feel confident week to week when you\u2019re always fighting something.\u201d<\/p>\n
