After Viktor Hovland slammed PGA Tour management for ignoring LIV Golf rumors, his Ryder Cup teammate has now rebuffed interest in the new circuit.
Ludvig Aberg has previously received offers from LIV Golf, but he says he declined another offer after his breakthrough rookie season on PGA Tour.
“When I reflect on my past, I’m super confident in the decision I made,” Aberg said to SVT Sport through a Google Translation. “I won’t chase money. I compete. “I did the right thing.”
Aberg stated, “I would like to play with the best because I’m a competitor and enjoy competing against the best players.” “Unfortunately, at the moment it does not look that way, it is a little more fragmented.”
He added: “When I think about the PGA Tour, and all of the competitions that take place there, the history is just so rich.” “That’s my thing, and that’s where I aim to be.” You have to respect the decisions of everyone.
The rising Swedish star, 24, was the first to receive a PGA Tour Card via PGA Tour University. He seized his chance and has never looked back. Aberg has missed only one cut in his 11 starts. He also finished within the top 25 8 times, including as a runner up at the Sanderson Farms Championship. His first win came at the RSM Classic at the end of the season. Aberg won his first professional title at the Omega European Masters on the DP World Tour a month before he won at Sea Island. Aberg’s Ryder Cup debut saw him post a 2-2 score, including a stunning 2-1 performance with Hovland.
LIV still hasn’t filled its teams for 2024, which starts in Mexico in less than two weeks. Aberg and Hovland have joined Tony Finau in rejecting the league after Jon Rahm’s exit.
