Born in Sweden in 1999, Ludvig Aberg is rapidly becoming a professional golfer to watch. From a distinguished amateur career to speedy success on the European and PGA Tours, including a strong performance at the Ryder Cup and a high-profile Masters debut, Aberg's talent and composure have designated him as the game's next great star.
Ludvig Noa Aberg was born in Eslov, Sweden, on the 31st of October 1999. His father, Johan, introduced him to golf at eight years old, and he was immediately smitten with the sport. Although he also played soccer and tennis before dedicating himself to golf at age thirteen, golf was his true passion.
He went to Filbornaskolan, a sports high school in Helsingborg, where he trained alongside future stars Maja Stark and Linn Grant. All of this early work set the stage for his later success.
Aberg's amateur career was one to behold. He won the 2016 Annika Sörenstam Trophy and several Swedish Golf Tour events in 2020. During his time at Texas Tech University (2019–2023), he won the Ben Hogan Award twice and led his team to some great victories. Internationally, he represented Sweden in events like the Arnold Palmer Cup and took gold at the 2021 European Amateur Championship. He was ranked the world's number one amateur for 29 weeks before turning professional in June 2023.
Turning professional in June 2023, Aberg impressed quickly. He earned a PGA Tour card through his amateur victories and took his first professional win at the Omega European Masters shortly afterward.
In November 2023, he took his first PGA Tour victory at the RSM Classic. He also performed well at the 2023 Ryder Cup, leading Europe to success with two wins and two losses.
In April of 2024, Aberg participated in his first major at The Masters, finishing second behind Jon Rahm. His performance solidified himself as one of the sport's young stars and a possible future threat for major titles.
Aberg is renowned for his firm drives, pinpoint iron shots, and composure during pressure moments. His innovative approach to strategy and mental strength render him an unpredictable competitor at any golfing arena, receiving applause from audiences and fellow competitors.
Off the course, Aberg lives in Tallahassee, Florida, with his girlfriend Olivia Peet.
In contrast to his meteoric rise to fame and sponsorship from Adidas Golf and Titleist, he remains humble and focused on improving his game.
Through February 2025, Aberg is No. 9 in the Official World Golf Ranking. With wins on the PGA Tour and European Tour and a breakout Ryder Cup appearance, he is set to have a long and prosperous career as one of golf's young stars. Ludvig Aberg's journey from being a boy who enjoyed playing golf to becoming one of Sweden's most promising players is all the more inspiring.
