Sweden’s Ludvig Åberg, No. 5 in the Official World Golf Ranking, will undergo arthroscopic surgery this week to repair a torn meniscus in his left knee, the Golf Channel reported Monday.
Aberg finished 16th at the Tour Championship on Sunday in Atlanta. He withdrew from the Wells Fargo Championship in May, citing knee pain, and played the PGA Championship the following week wearing a brace.
Aberg, 24, will be able to start hitting golf balls again three to four weeks after the procedure and is likely to play a limited schedule this fall, according to the report.
He is the defending champion at the RSM Classic, scheduled for November 21-24 in St. Simons Island, Georgia.
Aberg has finished eight out of 19 in 19 appearances on the PGA Tour starting in 2024, including a runner-up finish at the Masters — his first appearance as a major player.
Aberg missed the cut at the PGA Championship and the Open Championship and finished T12 at the US Open. He tied for second in the BMW Championship last month.
