Ludvig Aberg is making his debut in the Majors, playing none other than the Masters Tournament at Augusta National Golf Club. To top it all, the young Swede is deep in title contention, with the support of his experienced caddie Joe Skovron.
Skovron is a well-known PGA Tour veteran. He has worked with several renowned players, including Rickie Fowler, whose bag he carried for 13 seasons. He also worked with, among others, Tom Kim, before beginning work with Ludvig Aberg at the end of 2023.
The period working with Fowler undoubtedly marked Joe Skovron's career. The two began working together when Fowler turned pro in 2009, so Skovron was with him for most of the major successes of his career.
Since Skovron started working with Ludvig Aberg, the young Swede has played eight PGA Tour tournaments, with three Top 10s, including a second-place finish at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro Am as his best result.
Skovron is also witnessing Aberg's debut in the Majors. On the 12th hole of the fourth round, Aberg is tied for second place with a score of 5 under (at the time of writing).
Prior to working with Skovron, Aberg had Jack Clarke as his caddie.
