Hovland, 26, has won six times on the PGA Tour and twice on the DP World Tour.
A standout at Oklahoma State, the young Norwegian won the 2018 US Amateur and reached No.1 in the Amateur Golf Rankings in 2019, when he also finished as low amateur in both at The Masters and the US Open.
The European Ryder Cup star might be struggling for a bit of form at the moment but he still lies sixth in the world rankings.
On wearing PUMA Golf shoes, Hovland said:
"I started wearing PUMA shoes because I really liked the style and comfort. Shoes are critical for me because I use my feet to read greens. I’ve worked closely with the PUMA team to build shoes that perform well with AimPoint and are very comfortable."
COBRA PUMA GOLF President Dan Ladd said:
“We are extremely happy to welcome Viktor to the PUMA GOLF family.
"He’s one of the most talented and charismatic young players in the game and we look forward to a long relationship.
"Shoes are very important to Viktor because he uses his feet to read greens.
"We have built him shoes that work for AimPoint, but also look and feel great on the course.”
