The 2023 World Wide Technology Championship is here and Ludvig Aberg is the favorite to win the event. According to BetMGM Sportsbook, the rising star leads the odds list this weekend. The 24-year-old Swede sensation arrives at the El Cardonal at Diamante in Los Cabos, Mexico, with a promising 9-1 odds. Despite some big competition, the Ryder Cupper is the one to watch this weekend.
Aberg will go against a 131-player field, featuring some of the PGA Tour’s big names, for the top prize from the $8.2 million purse. It is pertinent to note that the youngster has managed to make a name for himself in the golf world in a short period.
The Swedish rookie did not need many starts to taste his first victory, winning as a pro on the DP World Tour just two months after turning pro. He went on to help Team Europe to a Ryder Cup victory, three weeks later.
Coming on the back of a playoff loss at the Sanderson Farms Championship and a T-13 finish at the Shriners Children's Open, Aberg looks good. He will be desperate to cement his status on the Tour and extend his Rookie of the Year competition run this weekend.
