The PGA tour season is over for Ludvig Åberg. The Swedish golf star finishes in the lower half of the 30-man large starting field. Pretty much mediocrity, he says to HBO Max.

Ludvig Åberg finished the tour final at East Lake in Atlanta with a birdie to go two strokes under par for the day and –7 in total. The round included six birdies, but also a double bogey and two bogeys.

Åberg took the biggest win of his career in February when he won the major tournament The Genesis Invitational at Torrey Pines outside San Diego, but the rest of the season became a rollercoaster.

So directly after this, I'm a bit dissatisfied, but I still take with me some cool things that have happened during the year and I'm happy about that. Then there are many parts of the game that got some development, but some parts of the game I still need to get better at, he says to HBO Max.

He is asked what he will do until the classic team competition Ryder Cup – where Europe and the USA meet – is decided outside New York on September 26–28.

First and foremost, I hope I get selected since I'm not qualified yet, he says and laughs.

I'm going home to Florida now for two weeks and will actually go to New York and watch the US Open tennis next weekend, he continues.

Rory McIlroy, Robert MacIntyre, Tommy Fleetwood, Justin Rose, Rasmus Højgaard, and Tyrrell Hatton have secured Europe's six direct spots. Luke Donald will present his six captain's choices on September 1 and is then expected to select Ludvig Åberg for the team. The Swede made his debut in the Ryder Cup when Europe won in Rome 2023.
