Ludvig Aberg, the world No. 5 as of April 2025, is a Swedish golfer born on October 31, 1999. He has been playing golf since he was eight years old and has won 13 amateur titles between 2016 and 2023. He attended Texas Tech University and won two professional wins as an amateur on the Swedish Golf Tour, both against Swedish Mikhael Lindberg.
Aberg turned professional in 2023, joined the PGA Tour, and earned his first PGA win in his rookie season at the 2023 RSM Classic over Mackenzie Hughes by four strokes. He also defeated Alexander Bjork to win the 2023 Omega European Masters, his first title on the European Tour. Moving on, he won the 2025 Genesis Invitational over Maverick McNealy by a single shot. His best major finish was solo runner-up at the 2024 Masters Tournament, losing to Scottie Scheffler by four strokes.
Who is Ludvig Aberg’s caddie?
Ludvig Aberg’s caddie is Joe Skovron as of April 2025, as per Golf.com.
In December 2023, it was announced that Aberg had split up with Jack Clarke, the caddie who had accompanied him on his first victory, to work with Joe Skovron, the former looper of Rickie Fowler. Skovron is one of the most experienced caddies out there, and it was proven with Aberg's solo second-place finish at the 2024 Masters Tournament and the 2025 Genesis Invitational win.
Skovron caddied for his friend Brendan Steele before partnering with Fowler, but he clarified that it wasn't a full-time position during his 2020 appearance as a guest on The Golf's Subpar. He started caddying for Fowler in 2009 and did so for the following 13 years, during which the American won five times on the PGA Tour and placed 12 times in the top 10 in major tournaments.
Along with Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods, Fowler was the only golfer to place in the top five in all four majors within a calendar year in 2014. Two years later, he achieved a career high of world No. 4, solidifying their partnership.
Eventually, in August 2022, following a decline in performance, Fowler and Skovron parted ways, allowing the looper to team up with Tom Kim, who had immediate success, making an impression at the President's Cup and winning the Shriner's Children's Open on the PGA Tour. It's unclear how they split up, though.
