Ludvig Aberg has taken the golfing world by storm since turning professional last year, and the Swedish sensation has been hailed by six-time major champion Faldo.
Sir Nick Faldo has heaped praise on Swedish golf sensation Ludvig Aberg, who has been a professional for less than a year. The 24 year old made his pro debut in June 2023 at the Canadian Open and has quickly established himself as one of the world's top players, with victories on both the DP World Tour and PGA Tour.
He currently sits fourth in the FedEx Cup standings, behind only Scottie Scheffler, Wyndham Clark and Xander Schauffele. Six-time major champion Faldo is clearly a big fan of the Swede. Aberg is just one shot off the lead at the midway point of the RBC Heritage at Harbour Town in Hilton Head Island. He impressed a large crowd following his pairing with Rory McIlroy with a stunning approach shot to the par-five fifth in round one on Thursday, reports the Mirror.
Cracking accolades indeed for a young golfer earmarked for sky-high runs of success for many a season ahead. But, his current fame almost veered off-track when he was roped into considering a lucrative proposal from breakaway tour LIV Golf whilst slogging through college at Texas Tech. "There were a number of red flags, which is not good," Aberg candidly spilled back in December, gleaning insight into his significant choice to rebuff LIV's offer a year and a half earlier. "We realised that I could potentially burn a lot of bridges, and I wasn't interested in that. When I look back, I am very confident in my decision. I will never chase money; what I do is compete. I did the right thing.
