Ludvig Aberg continued his remarkable rise in the world of golf by finishing second at the BMW Championship this weekend.

Aberg fell just short of Keegan Bradley in top spot but was good enough for a tie for second alongside Adam Scott and Sam Burns.

The young Swede has been one of the sensations of the 2024 season and has impressed many.

Adam Scott had spoken about how Aberg was ‘awesome’ after seeing him this weekend, while Keegan Bradley warned the rest of the field that Aberg is here to stay for a long time.

Still, like every professional player, Aberg is still striving for perfection and admitted that heading into the BMW, he was not too happy.

Ludvig Aberg shares what was wrong with his golf game ahead of the BMW Championship

Speaking to the media after his final round at Castle Pines, Aberg suggested that he’d actually been struggling with some aspects of his game.

“I think so. I think what I’m most proud of is coming into this week I felt like I was not swinging very well, I was kinds of struggling a little bit,” Aberg said.

“Not necessarily struggling but it was just nice to see that I was able to put four rounds together, play really well, especially after the start I had on Thursday, and to kind of put myself in position to try to win the golf tournament.”

It might be a bold claim at this stage given we are over 200 days away from the next men’s major, but Ludvig Aberg is that good.

He very nearly won the Masters at his first attempt and he has everything in his game to come out on top in 2025.

Of course, the field is stacked on the PGA Tour right now and on any given week, any of the top players in the world can get the job done.

But Aberg seems to be trending in the right direction and he’s still so young. Over time, a player this good has to win the big ones and he’ll be in contention at some point in 2025, no doubt about it.
