Ludvig Aberg

One year as a professional was all it took Ludvig Åberg to reach world No 4, make his Ryder Cup debut, win on both sides of the Atlantic and in the very first major of his career finish runner-up to Scottie Scheffler at the Masters.

European captain Luke Donald spotted the potential early and named him in the team for Rome straight after the former world amateur number one’s closing 64 swept him to a maiden DP World Tour title at the 2023 Omega European Masters in Switzerland.

Åberg was then also part of the triumphant European team at Bethpage Black in 2025, winning two points en route to a famous victory in New York.

The Swede captured the RSM Classic by four shots in November 2023 for the first PGA Tour title of his career after back-to-back closing rounds of 61.

He underwent knee surgery in September 2024, but returned to claim his second PGA Tour title at the Genesis Invitational the following February.

In The 153rd Open at Royal Portrush he finished T23, and will compete in golf's original championship for a third time when it returns to Royal Birkdale in July.
