The BMW PGA Championship has kicked off with great anticipation; however, it has come to light that Tiger Woods should now accustom himself to sharing Spotlight with another seasoned player thanks to an interesting revelation from one of the rising stars of the Ryder Cup, Ludvig Adberg!

This thrilling event unfolds at a press conference at the Wentworth Golf Club in Virginia Water, Surrey, England. During the conference, Adberg provided insights into his childhood idol and the inspiration behind his journey into the world of golf. Adberg’s choice of role model may surprise those who expected Woods to be the only and obvious choice, especially for someone of his 90s generation. However, growing up in Sweden, Adberg had another source of inspiration too!

Luvid Adberg cites another golfer, alongside Tiger Woods, as his idol

The Swedish golfer was asked a set of interesting questions in the course of the press conference, ranging from his preparation plans for the Ryder Cup in Rome to his childhood golfing inspirations and golfers in the 1990s that he looked up to.

Without hesitation, Adberg acknowledged the prowess Woods had on the course back in his day. “I think the main guy when I grew up was obviously Tiger because of what he did for the game, just the pure dominance that he had.” However, his response didn’t get over there.

The Ryder Cup rookie continued to emphasize that the true source of inspiration for many Swedish golfers, including himself, was Henrik Stenson, whom he described as “a big deal for us.” Adberg went on to highlight how Stenson’s remarkable success on both the DP World Tour and the PGA Tour served as heavy motivation for him.

The young Swedish golfer candidly admitted that the Swedish veteran was his idol. He stated, “He’s probably the one that I looked up to the most.”  The young golfer has come a long way from just looking up to other golfers. Now he himself is undoubtedly a source of inspiration for many, especially with him finding his way on the 12-player European Team for Rome!

Adberg’s path to the Ryder Cup spotlight

The Ryder Cup team captain has trusted Adberg with a lot of responsibilities on his young shoulders. He is one of the only golfers to be selected without any major achievements to his name and the only golfer to make it onto the team without a single major championship appearance!

The rookie will be making his debut at the prestigious face-off this year through his controversial captain’s pick spot. Despite his rookie status, though, he has recently showcased exceptional golfing skills with a victory on the DP World Tour at the Omega European Masters, which further strengthens his credentials.

The question that lingers is whether this newcomer can lead his fellow countrymen to Ryder Cup success. Let us know what you think in the comments below.
