Ludvig Aberg will return to competitive golf next weekend when he tees off at Sea Island Golf Club in Georgia to defend his RSM Classic title. This will mark Aberg's return to golf after undergoing knee surgery two months ago.

The organizers of the RSM Classic also announced the news in a press release on their official website. The note highlights the rapid rise of Aberg, who won the 2023 RSM Classic in only his 16th start on the PGA Tour:

"Aberg, a rookie when he won here last year at the age of 24, captured his first career PGA Tour title in his 16th start and his 11th as a professional. He was the first PGA Tour University alum to win on the PGA Tour after turning pro following the NCAA Championship in May."

Ludvig Aberg announced in early September that he would undergo surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his left knee. A few days later, the player himself posted on Instagram that the surgery was successful.

The young Swede injured his knee during a training session in May. Nevertheless, he decided to play under these conditions and was able to achieve good results.
