Having moved his attentions from football to golf aged 13, Åberg enjoyed an outstanding success as an amateur golfer, before turning professional in June 2023, aged 23. During his amateur days he became the world's No.1 ranked men's amateur. As a student at Texas Tech, he won the Ben Hogan Award as the best collegiate player in the United States in both 2022 and 2023; Jon Rahm also won this award twice (2015, '16).
Success came quickly to Åberg as a professional with some impressive finishes in his first few events on the PGA Tour. Back in Europe, and in only his third start as a professional on the European (DP World) Tour, he claimed the coveted European Masters title at Crans-sur-Sierre in Sept 2023.

Presidents Cup: Geoff Ogilvy’s International Team take on Brandt Snedeker’s USA Team at the revered Medinah Country Club, near Chicago. The Internationals are trying to halt a run of 11 consecutive American wins. (Sept 24-27).

Our visit last month included two rounds at Golf de Chantilly, one of France’s most prestigious clubs.
It offers two superb layouts: Le Vineuil, a five-star championship course with a rich history, and Longères, an excellent four-star course that provides a strong and enjoyable test.
The wider Paris region offers plenty more. Courses such as Fontainebleau, Golf de Saint-Germain, and several other top-rated layouts make this area one of Europe’s most rewarding golf destinations, offering a mix of woodland, heathland, and parkland designs.
The Dutch: "It's no' just a game", as they say in Scotland, and that's certainly true at The Dutch. With 5-star services throughout, a lavishly comfortable Loch Lomond-inspired clubhouse, and a superbly designed and presented golf course, one could not ask for more from this top-end private club.
