In a recent episode of Golf's Subpar, Aberg spoke about his team captain Donald with hosts Colt Knost and Drew Stoltz. The Swedish golfer appreciated Donald, saying he did a lot of things well. Aberg said:

"That’s what Luke did such a good job of. I mean, he did a lot of things very well. But I do feel like there was a nice dynamic between experience, between younger people, between— you know, obviously I was world-class too, but, you know, a guy like Rory, a guy like Justin [Rose] with all these experience that they have."

Ludvig Aberg also shared his experience of playing at the Ryder Cup. He added:

“Everyone’s going to be nervous on the first tee. Everyone’s going to be, you know, excited about playing. But if they can give me a tip on how to, you know, maybe handle that or whatever, that can go a long way.”

Alberg added two points to his team's total at the 2023 Ryder Cup. His total score at the tournament was 2-2-0. He won both his foursome matches but lost the Sunday singles and one four-ball match.
