Defending RSM Classic Champ Ludvig Aberg on PGA Tour Changes: ‘What Changes?’

As the famous idiom goes, “ignorance is bliss.”

Ludvig Aberg is back after a few months off to rehab his knee after surgery following the Tour Championship. While Aberg spent time doing tourist things in New York while recovering from the surgery, he apparently hasn’t been following the latest PGA Tour news. 

Brentley Romine, of Golf Channel, posted the following exchange during Aberg’s press conference as the defending champion of the RSM Classic.

Monday’s news of the PGA Tour cutting the size of fields and the number of tour cards it hands out from 125 to 100 won’t affect Aberg, given that he finished 16th in the FedEx Cup standings this year. 

Aberg, 25, took the golf world by storm last year by racking up top-five finishes and winning the RSM Classic, along with faring well for himself in Europe’s Ryder Cup victory. This year, he was runner-up at the Masters and BMW Championship, which was the second FedEx Cup playoff event. 

Aberg said he started feeling the effects of the knee injury in May, and it prevented him from being able to read putts the way he wanted to. Now, after missing last week’s DP World Tour Championship, the Swede says he’s ready to go in the final FedEx Cup event of the fall schedule.

Åberg said:

“I feel 100 percent, otherwise I wouldn’t be here.”
