Ludvig Åberg is a Swedish professional golfer whose rapid rise from college golf to the top of the world rankings has made him one of the sport’s fastest wealth accumulators. Net worth estimates vary considerably by source, ranging roughly from $8 million to $13 million, alongside PGA Tour career earnings of more than $29 million.
Early Life & Family
Ludvig Noa Åberg was born on October 31, 1999, in Eslöv, Sweden, to parents Mia and Johan, with an older sister, Linnea. His father introduced him to golf at age eight at Eslöv Golf Club, reportedly offering ice cream as an incentive to keep him on the course. Åberg played football until 13 before focusing fully on golf and attended Filbornaskolan, a sports-focused high school in Helsingborg, alongside future Solheim Cup players Maja Stark and Linn Grant.
Rise to Fame
Åberg rose through Swedish and European amateur golf, winning the Annika Sörenstam Trophy in 2016 and later attending Texas Tech University on a golf scholarship. He won the Ben Hogan Award as America’s top college golfer in both 2022 and 2023, reached world number one in the World Amateur Golf Ranking in September 2022, and turned professional in June 2023 after topping the PGA Tour University rankings.
Career History
Åberg won his first professional event, the Omega European Masters, just months after turning pro in 2023, and was picked for that year’s Ryder Cup by captain Luke Donald despite never having played in a major — a first in Ryder Cup history. He and Viktor Hovland delivered a record-margin foursomes win over Scottie Scheffler and Brooks Koepka, and Åberg went on to win his first PGA Tour title at the RSM Classic that November, tying the tour’s all-time scoring record. In 2024 he finished runner-up at the Masters on his major debut, and in 2025 he won the Genesis Invitational for a $4 million payday before helping Europe win the 2025 Ryder Cup at Bethpage, going unbeaten in his singles match.
How They Built Their Wealth
Åberg’s income is drawn almost entirely from PGA Tour and European Tour prize money — more than $29 million across just a few seasons as a professional — along with a growing endorsement portfolio typical of a top-ten world-ranked golfer.
Personal Life
Åberg lives in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, with his girlfriend Olivia Peet, a former Texas Tech tennis player. He purchased a home there in late 2024 after initially renting from fellow Swedish golfer Vincent Norrman.
With more than $29 million in career earnings after only a few professional seasons, Ludvig Åberg’s net worth is estimated in the $8 million to $13 million range as of 2026, and is widely expected to keep growing given his age and trajectory.
