Early Life and Golf Journey
Ludvig Noa Åberg was born on October 31, 1999, in Eslöv, a small town in southern Sweden. His father Johan, a keen golfer himself, introduced Ludvig to the sport at age eight at the Eslöv Golf Club.
The trick, famously, was the promise of ice cream if young Ludvig stayed on the course for an extra hour — a minor bribe that may have changed Swedish golf history.
Åberg grew up playing soccer as a central midfielder before shifting his full focus to golf around age 13.
He quickly stood out as one of Sweden’s most promising junior talents, winning the Galvin Green Junior Open and the Skandia Junior Open back in 2016.
By the time he graduated high school, recruiters across the United States had taken notice.
He enrolled at Texas Tech University in 2019 and became the most decorated golfer in the program’s history.
He won back-to-back Big 12 Conference Championships in 2022 and 2023, becoming the first player ever to achieve that feat in the conference.
He also swept the national player of the year honours in 2023, winning the Ben Hogan Award (best collegiate player in the US) for the second consecutive year, the Haskins Award, and the Jack Nicklaus Award.
Åberg held the World Amateur Golf Ranking No. 1 position for 29 weeks and won 13 amateur titles between 2016 and 2023.
He was the first player in history to earn direct access to the PGA Tour through the PGA Tour University rankings, graduating top of the class in 2023.
A $2.5 million offer from LIV Golf came his way in 2022, but he turned it down and chose to finish his degree and enter the Tour the right way.
Professional Golf Career
Åberg turned professional in June 2023 and made his debut at the RBC Canadian Open, where he finished tied for 25th.
He made just six starts on the PGA Tour before crossing to Europe, where he won the Omega European Masters on the DP World Tour in September 2023 — his third European start. That breakthrough immediately earned him a captain’s pick from Luke Donald for the 2023 Ryder Cup in Rome.
His Ryder Cup debut was stunning. Paired with Viktor Hovland in Saturday foursomes, the pair defeated world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler and Brooks Koepka by a margin of 9 and 7 — the largest winning margin in an 18-hole Ryder Cup match in history. Europe won the cup 16½–11½.
Riding that confidence, Åberg won his first PGA Tour title in November 2023 at the RSM Classic, posting a 72-hole score of 253 to match the PGA Tour’s 72-hole scoring record. He won by four strokes over Mackenzie Hughes.
The 2024 season brought no wins but delivered staggering evidence of his elite ceiling. At his major championship debut — the 2024 Masters — Åberg finished solo runner-up behind Scottie Scheffler, earning $2.16 million.
He also posted a runner-up at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, another $2.16 million payday, and a second-place finish at the BMW Championship.
He ended 2024 ranked No. 5 in the world, though knee surgery for a torn meniscus in September kept him off the course for several weeks.
In February 2025, Åberg claimed his second PGA Tour title at the Genesis Invitational at Torrey Pines. He birdied four of his last six holes to edge Maverick McNealy by one stroke, collecting a career-high single-event payday of $4 million.
He returned for the 2025 Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black, where Europe defeated the United States 15–13, with Åberg winning his singles match against Patrick Cantlay 2 and 1 — the only European player to win a singles point on the final day.
Into 2026, Åberg collected a T3 at the Arnold Palmer Invitational ($1.2 million) and led the Players Championship heading into the final round before a double-water-ball collapse at the 11th and 12th holes dropped him to T5.
Caddie
Ludvig Åberg’s current caddie is American veteran Joe Skovron, who joined his bag in December 2023.
Skovron is widely regarded as one of the most experienced loopers on Tour, having spent 13 years carrying for Rickie Fowler — during which Fowler won five PGA Tour titles, including The Players Championship in 2015.
Skovron briefly caddied for Tom Kim before Åberg made his move. Åberg’s previous caddie, Englishman Jack Clarke, had been on the bag for both his Omega European Masters and RSM Classic wins, but Åberg felt the step up to major contention required a more seasoned partner.
Skovron is known for his calm, analytical approach. Åberg described the partnership directly: “Joe has kind of helped me to view golf a little bit differently, to take sort of the misses more into account.
The comfort that he gives me sort of when everything around you is storming, it’s always nice to lean on Joe.” Their first win together came at the 2025 Genesis Invitational, more than 13 months after linking up.
Girlfriend
Åberg is in a relationship with Olivia Peet, who was born and raised in Manchester, England.
The couple met while both attended Texas Tech University, where Peet was a standout on the women’s tennis team, recording more than 140 career wins and serving as captain. Her father, Chris Peet, is a former professional tennis player turned coach.
The couple went public with their relationship at the Ryder Cup gala in Rome in 2023 and moved into a home together in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, in late 2024 — just a short drive from TPC Sawgrass, a course Åberg has referred to as his home track. Åberg was born to parents Johan and Mia and has an older sister named Linnea.
He holds honorary membership at his childhood club, Eslöv Golf Club, an honour bestowed in November 2021.
Ludvig Åberg’s Net Worth Details
As of 2026, Ludvig Åberg’s has an estimated net worth of $13 million.
He has built this fortune through PGA Tour and DP World Tour prize money, a selective portfolio of endorsement deals, and three-plus years of consistent top-five finishes in major events.
His career prize money alone exceeds $28 million, but net wealth accounts for US federal and state income taxes, agent and management fees, caddie earnings, and living expenses.
Career Prize Money
Åberg’s PGA Tour career earnings stood at approximately $28.3 million as of early March 2026, according to Spotrac — a figure that places him on a pace comparable to veterans with decade-long careers.
His largest single-event payday was the $4 million he collected for winning the 2025 Genesis Invitational at Torrey Pines.
He has also earned $2.16 million from his runner-up at the 2024 Masters, $2.16 million from his runner-up at the 2024 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, and $1.51 million from his 2023 RSM Classic victory.
His DP World Tour earnings add roughly another $5 million to the career total, including the Omega European Masters win and a consistent record across European events.
He earned an additional $3.4 million from Comcast Business Tour Top 10 bonuses, reflecting his consistent presence at the top of the FedExCup standings.
In 2026, Åberg earned $1.2 million for finishing third at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and $925,000 for his T5 at The Players Championship — a bittersweet result given he held a three-stroke lead entering the final round.
By mid-March 2026, his 2026 season earnings alone had already climbed past $3 million, ranking him among the Tour’s top earners for the year.
