"He's beautiful": Golf Insider highlights Ludvig Aberg's looks ahead of TGL's premiere

The TGL is set to premiere tonight on ESPN+ with Ludvig Aberg in the starting lineup for The Bay Golf Club as they take on New York Golf Club at 9PM EST at the innovative SoFi Center. During a recent episode of the PGA Tour Radio's Gravy & The Sleeze with Colt Knost and Drew Stoltz exclusive on Sirius XM, golf insider Marty Smith highlighted the Swedish golfer.

While Aberg's golfing talent is undeniably good, Smith couldn't help but bring up another one of his striking attributes - his looks. The ESPN broadcaster was offering the hosts a look into the media opportunities for players tonight at the inaugural match by referencing the PGA Tour superstar and his fellow competitor Rory McIlroy.

Smith said (via Sirius XM PGA Tour Radio):

"If you're someone like Rory [McIlroy]. Let's just take Rory as an example, who's on TV constantly during Major championships. Or now Ludvig [Aberg] because he's beautiful, right? I mean, the man is handsome. It's like I wonder if Rickie Fowler is giving him tips on how to be America's golf heartthrob."

The comment left the hosts chuckling. Aberg has been a sensation on the PGA Tour and has made waves with his incredible golf skills. As Smith noted, the TGL matches present a unique opportunity for players to connect with fans in a new way. He explained that the World No. 6 golfer has an opportunity to enhance his profile even further.
