Ludvig Aberg enjoys an impressive 2024 season
Ludvig Aberg became the first player to earn a PGA Tour card by topping the University ranking. He started his professional career in 2023 and has been impressive ever since. He made his Ryder Cup debut last year and also won events on both the PGA Tour and the European Tour.
Aberg made his Major debut at the 2024 Masters, finishing in second place behind Scottie Scheffler. Despite shining at the first Major of the year, he struggled in the second Major at Valhalla Golf Course, failing to make the cut at the PGA Championship. However, the 24-year-old is back in great form at the US Open and is in contention to win the Major.
In 2024, Ludvig Aberg has played in 12 events, recording two runner-up finishes. He has only missed one cut this season and has recorded six top-10 finishes. His most recent performance was at the Memorial Tournament, where he tied for fifth place.
As the action continues on one of the toughest golf courses this week, it will be interesting to see if the Swedish golfer can win the Major and add another victory to his accolades.
He has already won four professional tournaments in his career, including one on the PGA Tour, one on the European Tour, and two other events. If Aberg wins this week, he will become the first golfer since 1913 to win the US Open in his debut appearance. In 1913, amateur golfer Francis Ouimet won the US Open as a debutant in the Major, and Aberg is looking forward to making history this week.
