“I want to play against the best, because I am a competitive person and like to compete against the best players,” Aberg said. “Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like that at the moment, it’s a bit more fragmented.”
“When I look at the PGA Tour and the competitions there, there is so much history around all the competitions,” he added. “And that’s what I like, that’s what I go for. But then you have to respect everyone’s decisions.”

Aberg allegedly received a $2.5 million offer from LIV Golf while still an amateur player at Texas Tech. He received his second offer following his victory at the RSM Classic in November, his first on the PGA Tour, but he has stated that he is not interested in pursuing financial gain.
Subsequently, Aberg expressed his admiration for the decisions taken by all those who have switched to LIV Golf.
What I like about Ludvig Aberg’s backswing that I’m pretty sure everyone can do:
– spine inclination doesn’t change
– shoulders turning 90 degrees to the spine
– hand depth at the topThese aren’t essentials, but I’d be confident saying doing these 3 things will help most #golf pic.twitter.com/K18DLAOWL2

What golf ball does Ludvig Aberg play?
Aberg’s Titleist Vokey wedges and Titleist Pro V1x golf ball allowed him to finish the week in third place in the scrambling competition. When Aberg started his professional career in June, he discussed the qualities of the golf ball he was seeking for with Titleist representatives early this year. “I enjoy giving the ball spin,” he remarked.
Who sponsors Aberg?
For Aberg, the possibilities for success on the course are endless, and he will undoubtedly get sponsorships in the future. It appears that he is now solely officially associated with Adidas.
