Ever thought about what drives a golfer to soar to the highest levels of the game? With his incredible exploits throughout 2024, 25-year-old Swedish superstar Ludvig Aberg has swept the golf world. In November 2023, Aberg won his first PGA Tour event, the RSM Classic, since going pro in 2023. He finished at 29-under par, winning by four shots.

He kept up his impressive play in 2024, finishing second in the Masters Tournament while just missing out on the coveted Green Jacket. He finished sixth in the FedExCup standings with his steady play throughout the year, which includes five top-5 finishes and nine top-10 finishes in 22 championships. Let’s look into the on-course tools that Aberg uses to deliver his phenomenal performance.

What’s in the bag of Ludvig Aberg?

Aberg is in a strong position to continue his remarkable ascent as the 2025 Sentry Tournament starts. His main objective for the year is to win a major title, which is quite possible considering his quick rise and track record. To achieve this, Aberg uses a carefully chosen collection of tools as per Bunkered that go well with his strong and accurate game. “Until this past week, I haven’t had a club deal,” Aberg stated during the Grant Thornton Invitational at the end of 2023. “I’ve been playing with whatever, I signed a club deal with Titleist this past week,” he further added.

The Titleist GT2 which is approximately $600 sits atop the bag. But since he returned from injury in 2024, that is the only alteration he has made. The Titleist TSR2 driver, which had a 9-degree loft and a Fujikura Ventus Black 6 X shaft, was what Aberg had previously used. It offered the ideal mix of precision and distance off the tee. Among his fairway woods are the TaylorMade Stealth 2, around $400 each, which has lofts of 15 and 18 degrees and is fitted with Fujikura Ventus TR Blue 8 X shafts, making it adaptable to a variety of course conditions. 

When it comes to his iron game, Åberg relies on his Titleist 718 T-MB 2-iron and Titleist T-100 irons (4-PW) with KBS Tour 130 X shafts roughly valued at $1,300 for a set of 7, for precise approach shots. Now that we’ve covered the drivers, fairway woods, and irons, we shall dive into Aberg’s tools for the greens

For the wedges in particular, the Swedish golfer uses the Titleist Vokey Design SM9 wedges in 50°, 54°, and 60° lofts to support his short game, each about $200, and enable him to make inventive shots around the greens. Aberg uses the Odyssey White Hot Versa #1 putter, approximately $250, which is well-known for its steady roll and feel, on the greens. His putting, aided by his reliable Odyssey putter, demonstrates composure and concentration, which are critical for making important putts under duress. He completes his setup with the Titleist Pro V1x ball, which is preferred for its exceptional distance and spin stability. With a blend of distance, feel, and control that fits his game, Aberg’s selection of the Titleist Pro V1x ball which is around $50 per dozen enhances his gear even more. 

This carefully chosen collection of gear is estimated to be valued at over $3,000 and is a testament to Aberg’s commitment to improving all facets of his game to meet his 2025 goals. Additionally, let’s not forget to note that Aberg brings along more than 14 clubs, so the ones that wind up in the final bag will change based on the difficulties he encounters each week. In addition to his gear, Åberg’s caddie, Joe Skovron, well-known for working with Rickie Fowler for 13 years and most recently with Tom Kim, adds a wealth of knowledge to Aberg’s squad. In addition to offering emotional support and strategic insights, the caddie helps with important decision-making during competitions.

Åberg’s all-encompassing strategy, which includes his caddie relationship, equipment selections, and smart gameplay, makes him a strong contender for major championship gold as he enters the 2025 season. We can’t wait to see what Aberg has in store for us this season!
