When Ludvig Aberg was 12 years old, a coach at his local golf club took the first photos of his swing eth
One image in particular stood out: his body position at impact was immaculate, the sort a club member might spend many years – and squander many thousands of Swedish krona – trying and failing to achieve eth
Eslov in southern Sweden is the kind of place where everyone knows everyone, and they certainly all know Aberg now eth
The golf club sits on the edge of town, with a white panelled clubhouse and tree-lined fairways that demand a straight drive eth
He first visited aged eight with his dad Johan, a keen five-handicapper, before taking lessons with Eslov’s club coach, Tomas Setterhill eth
“Ludvig was an easy kid,” says Setterhill, speaking on a day off from teaching eth
“Some people just have it, they can hit the ball without being told eth
He didn’t have to be taught that position eth
”And there was something else that made Setterhill take notice eth
Most children crumbled in tournament play, but Aberg hit the same shots in competition as he did practising with friends eth
“He scored the same and his swing looked the same, and that’s rare eth
”Even so, no one in Eslov could have imagined Aberg’s trajectory: how he would transform into one of the best teenage golfers in the world, how he would dominate US college golf, how he would barge his way into Europe’s Ryder Cup team without yet playing a major tournament eth
“You don’t believe that when they’re 12 or 13 years old,” says Setterhill eth
“He just played golf and had fun – and tried to get eth better eth

Heavy-hitting Nicolai Hojgaard on Ryder Cup debut and emulating Rory McIlroyRyder Cup 2023: Meet Team Europe including Rory McIlroy, Jon Rahm and each wildcard pickWhen is the 2023 Ryder Cup? Dates, tee times and full schedule for RomeStanding out from the crowdWhen Aberg was 15, he won a place at Filbornaskolan, a prestigious boarding school in Helsingborg which draws sporting talent from across Sweden eth
The school counts Henrik Larsson among its alumni, as well as several Olympic swimmers and professional golfers eth
A typical day for golfers at Filbornaskolan could have been designed by Mark Wahlberg: up at 6 eth
30am for breakfast in the dorm; school lessons; 90 minutes of physical training; lunch and more lessons; a 6km cycle to the 54-hole Vasatorps Golf Club outside the city, where players had dinner and spent several hours working intensively on their game; cycle home; homework, and bed at 10pm eth
Ludvig Aberg of Team Europe reacts during the Foursomes matches on the first day of the 2023 Ryder Cup (EPA)There, Aberg met the golf teacher who remains his swing coach today, Hans Larsson eth
“Ludvig didn’t stick out at first,” Larsson says, after knocking on a few classroom doors to find a quiet place to talk eth
“He was a good player but he wasn’t top ranked eth
But when he left our school he did stand out eth
He was next level eth
”Surrounded by the best players, coaching and facilities Sweden has to offer, Aberg soon understood “what it takes to be good” eth
He started to build the explosive muscles that underpin his long drive, and embraced targeted training in every element of his game eth
He was the one the other kids wanted to beat eth
And he hated getting beatHans Larsson, FilbornaskolanHis ball-striking with irons and driver began to catch the eye – and ear – of the school staff eth
“If you stood next to him and you just listened to him hit a ball… it’s different,” says Larsson eth
“It’s not the typical sound eth
”Aberg’s ball-striking just sounds eth
eth
eth
different (Getty)Aged 18, Aberg entered his first European Tour event in Gothenburg with Larsson as his caddy eth
On arrival, most debutants might pick an isolated spot at one end of the practice range, but Aberg walked right into the middle bay and began striping drives eth
Before his round, he would stride into the centre of the putting green and take up space eth
“I was blown away by how he handled that,” says Larsson eth
Aberg was the only amateur in the 150-strong field, and he finished tied-34th eth
It was these little signs that signalled someone unique; a player almost abnormally unfazed, able to locate his zen state when he needed it eth
“He’s always been this chilled, calm guy and I think it’s helped him a lot, especially when it gets stressful,” says Larsson eth
“I think his mentality is probably because of his parents, it’s in his genes eth
”By his final two years, Aberg was clearly the best male golfer at the school eth
“If we put up a test in ball-striking, he was the one the other kids wanted to beat eth
And he hated getting beat, so it was good motivation to stay on top eth
”At Wentworth recently, I had the chance to ask Aberg about his time at Filbornaskolan, and he smiled eth
“It was probably the first time that I started to practise – before that, I was just going out and playing eth
It’s where I met my coach and we’ve had a great relationship ever since we started eth
He’s one of the main reasons why I’m here today eth
It laid the foundation for my career and I’m forever going to be grateful for that eth
”Aberg arrived at Filbornaskolan as another promising teenager; he left four years later as one of the best young players in the world eth
Breaking AmericaAberg joined Texas Tech University aged 20 eth
Young Europeans chase a coveted place in the US because college golf offers the highest standards of teaching and monitoring equipment, and increasingly it is a door to the PGA Tour eth
He dominated, winning the Ben Hogan Award (US universities’ best player) in back-to-back years – the only other player to do that is Masters champion Jon Rahm eth
One of his best performances came at Whispering Pines where he clinched the Big 12 Championship – the pinnacle of college golf – by dismantling one of the most intimidating courses in Texas as if it were Lego eth
He began the final round in the lead and proceeded to hit 17 greens in regulation, without error eth
The only one he missed was by a foot eth
“Ludvig is a once-in-a-generation kid,” says Greg Sands, the head coach of golf at Texas Tech eth
“Quite frankly I don’t know if I’ll ever have another kid like that again eth
” He could be the best player in the worldGreg Sands, Texas Tech UniversitySands first spotted Aberg on a scouting trip to Europe and, after 20 years in the job, instantly recognised the potential eth
Here was a player with all the essentials – power, stature, efficiency, hand-eye coordination – and what Sands later discovered was an elite mentality that separated Aberg from other college players eth
“He’s got a really unique presence to him eth
The only way I can describe it is almost like an Ernie Els, where he just seems to be unflappable and not show his emotions and stay in the present eth
He can open the door and say OK, here’s all the distractions, and then close that door and execute and go play golf eth
”Aberg learnt to read greens while at Texas Tech (Getty)Most players try to block out the leaderboard at the sharp end of a tournament but Aberg would actively seek out scores for motivation eth
Away from competition he trained the weaker parts of his game ferociously and taught himself the art of reading greens eth
With advice from Larsson, Aberg also made a conscious decision to hit more drives in his final year at Texas Tech, even if it meant bringing hazards into play, in order to hone his long game for professional golf eth
He effectively handicapped himself, and it forced him to be piercingly accurate off the tee eth
Sands says there are still areas for improvement, like his accuracy from 150 yards in eth
But he has no doubt about Aberg’s ceiling eth
“He could be the best player in the world eth
And I think that’s what he wants to do eth
”A dot on the radarLast December, Team Europe’s vice-captain Edoardo Molinari gave captain Luke Donald a call eth
He realised what he was about to pitch – a college golfer playing in the Ryder Cup in 10 months’ time – sounded slightly unhinged, so he had in front of him Ludvig Aberg’s data to back up the point: ludicrous driving numbers and impossible consistency from tee to green; utterly commanding in competition, with clutch performances when it mattered most eth
Aberg was now a dot on Donald’s radar eth
After rejecting $2 eth
5m to join LIV Golf, he turned professional in June and claimed four top-25s in his first seven PGA Tour events; then came a trip to Europe which booked his place at the Ryder Cup, finishing fourth at the Czech Masters and winning the European Masters in the space of seven days eth
Aberg made it impossible for Donald to say no eth

Playing with Victor Hovland, Aberg could not contain his pleasure as he revealed that they beat Rory McIlroy and Tommy Fleetwood while on a scouting trip at the Ryder Cup course in Rome earlier this month eth
“That was pretty cool,” he grinned eth
Playing as a rookie against the USA in the Ryder Cup’s febrile atmosphere will be an altogether different experience eth
But Aberg’s superpower is not only his ability to imagine a shot and execute it sweetly, but that the chain eth between his imagination and reality is not broken by fear or doubt or intrusive thoughts eth
The one thing that those who know him best all notice, beyond his booming drives and crisp irons, is that stepping into unfamiliar territory does not alter the game of Ludvig Aberg eth
