Ludvig Aberg’s appearance at the 2025 Ryder Cup will mark his second time playing in the prestigious tournament. He first played for Europe in 2023, helping his team win the tournament 16.5-11.5.

Aberg turned pro in 2023 and was selected by Luke Donald as one of the captain’s picks to play in the Ryder Cup that same year. This made him the first player to be selected for the Ryder Cup without having played in a major championship.

The Swedish golfer played four matches at the 2023 Ryder Cup and paired with Viktor Hovland during the Saturday foursomes. Aberg and Hovland beat Scottie Scheffler and Brooks Koepka 9, 7, setting the record for the largest winning margin in an 18-hole Ryder Cup match.

The 2025 Ryder Cup will kick off on September 26 on the Black Course of Bethpage State Park in Farmingdale, New York. Luke Donald will captain Team Europe again, while Keegan Bradley will captain Team USA.

Ludvig Aberg says he feels “more experienced" heading into the Ryder Cup this year

“I definitely feel more experienced this time. Last time it was like you guys mentioned, it was so short into my professional career and I felt like I had the most amazing week in Rome and it was the first time that I sort of got to experience those things and be in the locker room with those guys, with all the legends,” he said.

The 25-year-old golfer said he was “really proud” to be part of the Ryder Cup team in 2023. He also said that from then on, he knew he wanted to make another appearance in the tournament and was glad to see it happening again.

Luke Donald revealed that he “got a little bit of heat” when he picked Ludvig Aberg in 2023 because the latter was fresh out of college and had never played a major tournament before. However, he stated that Aberg had positioned himself to be “one of the very best players in the world” and was able to get the job done at the end of the day.
