Ludvig Aberg has quickly become one of the standout performers at Augusta National.
The Swede finished second on his Masters debut in 2024 and followed it up with another strong showing in 2025, finishing seventh.
With The Masters now just weeks away, Aberg is once again expected to contend.
And he has now revealed what he believes he shares with Tiger Woods that makes him so effective at Augusta.
Ludvig Aberg can shape the ball like Tiger Woods at Augusta National
Aberg pointed to a specific trait that he believes separates the best players at Augusta.
“It does. Augusta is a very visual golf course where the tree line guides you a certain way,” he said.
“That’s why Scottie [Scheffler] is so good there, because he can do that. Tiger is so good there. I like to think that I can do both as well.
“There are a few tee balls that we talked about today: 1 (fade), 2 (draw), 5 (draw), 6 and 7 (fade), so it makes you do a little bit of that. Very visual players tend to play well there.”
His comments highlight the importance of shot-shaping and course visualization at Augusta, with the ability to hit both fades and draws proving crucial.
It is a skill set shared by some of the game’s greatest players — and one Aberg clearly believes he possesses too.
Ludvig Aberg explains why Augusta National’s history makes it so special
Aberg also spoke about his appreciation for Augusta’s rich history.
“I love history and Augusta is the place for that,” he added. “If you love golf history, what better place in the world?
“I was just there last week, and we were walking to the clubhouse, and in the locker room, they have these old aerial pictures on the walls. In 1920, before the golf course even opened, there was a vineyard, and you can see it – that’s number one box. I love that. I think that’s so cool.
“You remember all the shots, iconic hole-outs, and chips. To me, that’s why we play golf.”
That connection to the course, combined with his natural ability to shape shots, has already helped Aberg excel at Augusta.
And with his record improving year on year, he looks set to be one of the leading contenders again when The Masters gets underway.
