June 2023World No.1 men's amateur golfer. Best collegiate golfer in USA (Ben Hogan Award, 2022, '23). Winner on the European Tour.
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.

Played as the Omega European Masters (Aug 31-Sep 3). Second-placed Alexander Björk (Swe) finished 2 shots behind 23-year-old Ludvig Åberg (Swe), who recorded his first European Tour win in his sixth start on the Tour. Turning professional in June 2023, the former World No.1 men's amateur was making just his third European Tour start as a professional, and ninth professional start overall. [GC Crans-sur-Sierre, Crans-Montana, Switzerland].
America
RSM
Played as the RSM Classic (Nov 16-19; PGA Tour 2023 FedEx Fall season). Second-placed Mackenzie Hughes (Can) finished 4 shots behind 24-year-old Ludvig Åberg (Swe), who recorded his first PGA Tour win in his 16th start on the Tour. Åberg shot back-to-back 61s at the weekend to clinch victory. His 72-hole score of 253 tied with Justin Thomas (2017 Sony Open) for the PGA Tour scoring record. [Seaside course, Sea Island GC, GA; Plantation course also used during first two rounds].
The Masters: The 88th Masters Tournament at Augusta National sees LIV golfer Jon Rahm defend his title against the world’s best. Pressing hard will be world No.1 and 2022 champion Scottie Scheffler and world No.2 Rory McIlroy (April 11-14).
Chevron Championship: the women’s major championship season gets underway for the second year at its new Carlton Woods home outside Houston, Texas. World No.2 Lilia Vu defends (April 18-21).
Nelly Korda: records a perfect start to 2024 with five wins out of her last five starts on the LPGA Tour. Winning the Chevron Championship also brought the second major championship win of her career.
Scottie Scheffler: narrowly missed out on matching Nelly Korda's five wins in five starts, when he placed second at the Houston Open. Either side of that, he won The Arnold Palmer, The Players, and then The Masters and The Heritage.
Marco Simone Golf & Country Club: With a clubhouse that might befit a Roman Emperor, and a golf course to match, you can be sure of a memorable outing at Rome's most talked about golf facility.
Jim Fazio's original layout was much changed to create a modern Ryder Cup course ... now one of the Eternal City's (and Italy's) most revered.
