World no. 5 Ludvig Aberg has not had a great season this year. He has been plagued with the challenges of his knee injury since August 2024. While he got the injury diagnosed pretty early, it was not until September 2024 that he actually went under the knife.

Since September 5, Aberg had been recovering, and relaxing, and also longing to come back to the course. His wish finally came through as Ludvig Aberg joined his fellow PGA Tour pros at the RSM Classic 2024.

We can’t really say that it was a bad comeback. He was tied at 17, 6 points away from the top of the table. While most of the top pros will be disappointed with the performance, Aberg rejoiced every moment of it. The 25-year-old was excited to be coming back to playing course. Moreover, as unsuccessful as he was at the end of it, Aberg was still quite excited to defend his RSM Classic trophy.

Ludvig Abery shared a story on his Instagram showing a click from the RSM Classic 2024. Shared a few hours ago, the pic shows Abery crouching down like a tiger ready to pounce in the hole. A part of the text read, “Loved being back at sea island” as he hinted at the scenes during his previous visit here where he won the RSM Classic 2023. Aberg also added, “Also loved squatting down normally to line up a putt.”

It has certainly been a while since Aberg has done that. But it’s great to see that he has recovered well enough to be able to play at his full potential on the course. Having said that, how severe was the knee injury that he sustained back in August 2024? Let’s find out.

Details of Ludvig Aberg’s knee injury

Ludvig Aberg was nearly out for three months due to a knee injury. He first sustained it in the Tour Championship 2024 in August. The doctors had informed Aberg that he had a torn medial meniscus that might need to be taken care of in the future. As it was not an immediate problem, he came back to the tournament to continue his run. However, he observed that the injury was hindering his performance. The injury also flared up by the end of the tournament which led to his decision to get the surgery.

Aberg went under the knife on September 5, 2024, and started the recovery and rehabilitation process soon after. He went through incredibly painful months before he could decide to return. The Swede came back to professional golf at the RSM Classic 2024. At this point, there is no news about when we will get to see him play next. But wherever it may be, there is no doubt fans will get to see why he is ranked the 5th best player in the world.
