Ludvig Aberg to undergo knee surgery, will play this fall on limited basis
Ludvig Aberg has offseason plans.
The 24-year-old Swedish sensation, who is ranked fifth in the world, is scheduled to undergo arthroscopic surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his left knee this week. Golf Channel's Todd Lewis first reported the news.
Aberg, who finished 16th in the Tour Championship on Sunday, first complained about the knee injury in May when he withdrew from the Wells Fargo Championship.
According to Lewis's social media post, Aberg should be able to hit golf balls 3-4 weeks after his procedure. He likely will play this fall on a limited basis. He's the defending champion of the RSM Classic, the final tournament of the FedEx Cup Fall, to be held in November.
Aberg finished second at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, the Masters in April, his first major, and the BMW Championship among eight top-10 finishes this season.
Aberg isn't the only one Tour star requiring surgery this offseason. On Saturday, Jordan Spieth announced he underwent successful surgery on his wrist.
This week Ludvig Aberg will have arthroscopic surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his left knee that has bothered him since Spring. Ludvig should be able to hit balls 3-4 weeks after the procedure. Likely to play again in 2024 on a limited schedule.
