Ludvig Åberg on his meteoric rise from Texas Tech to the Ryder Cup

With 2023 nearly in the books, Ludvig Åberg looks back on an incredible year - that he began as a college student at Texas Tech, and ended as a PGA Tour & Ryder Cup winner - with Smylie Kaufman. Ludvig discusses his formative years learning the game of golf in Sweden, a caddie change that he thinks will position him well for major championship success, and which of those majors he is most looking forward to in 2024. As Ludvig heads home for the holidays, he closes the show by sharing a uniquely Swedish Christmas tradition. 0:00 Road trip from Lubbock to Tallahassee 4:32 Growing up in Sweden + the Filbornaskolan academy which helped develop his golf game 13:16 Getting recruited by Texas Tech + culture shock upon arrival in Lubbock 22:10 Finishing 1st in the PGA Tour U program 27:31 Expectations for his first year as a Tour pro 30:18 When he first started considering the Ryder Cup as a possibility 34:36 Luke Donald's FaceTime to tell Ludvig he'd been picked 37:45 Jordan Spieth's reflection on the impact of the Ryder Cup 40:39 Playing with Viktor Hovland in the Ryder Cup 49:21 Making a caddie change to add Joe Skovron 51:26 Which major he's most looking forward to in 2024 54:45 Swedish Christmas traditions #golf #golfer #golfing #golfswing #golflife #golftips #ludvigaberg #rydercup #rydercup2023 #teameurope #viktorhovland #masters #sweden #christmas
