The newly professional golfer and former World No. 1 Amateur Ludvig Aberg is excited to sign a contract with Adidas, a company that also sponsors Collin Morikawa and Xander Schauffele.

Speaking on the new deal with Adidas, Ludvig Aberg was pretty excited. He said:

"This past year has been an incredible journey, and I couldn't be more excited to wear the 3-Stripes as I start this next chapter of my career. The team at Adidas is always committed to making the best for golfers, and I’m proud to officially join the team."

Jeff Lienhartm, president of Adidas Golf, shared that the company was delighted to sign a deal with Ludvig Aberg. He praised the newly turned pro golfer's abilities. He said:

"With a lot on the line this year, Ludvig showed he is truly a remarkable athlete. He's earned it all through amazing play and desire to win, and we look forward to supporting him in the 3-Stripes as he begins his journey as a professional."

Who is Ludvig Aberg? Exploring his life and records

Born on October 31, 1999, in Eslov, Sweden, Ludvig Aberg is a Swedish professional golfer who is currently signed with the PGA Tour. His love for the game of golf started back in 2007 when he was part of a local golf club called Eslov Golf Club.

Aberg was also associated with the Swedish Golf Tour. He has won two tournaments on the golf circuit, Katrineholm Open and Barsebäck Resort Masters, but as an amateur.

Interestingly, apart from Jon Rahm, he is only the second golfer to win the Ben Hogan Award twice consecutively. Aberg won it in 2022 and then in 2023.
