Ludvig Aberg carrying a snow broom in his bag during a round of golf in Sweden feels like holiday magic

Ludvig Aberg is quickly ascending to Swedish golf royalty after his selection to the European Ryder Cup team as well as a pair of professional victories in what was a whirlwind year of 2023.

A year ago at this time, Aberg was plying his trade in the flat, warm climes of Lubbock, Texas, as a member of the Texas Tech men’s golf team.

The native of Eslov, Sweden, captured the Omega European Masters in September for his first DP World Tour victory and then followed up soon after by claiming his first PGA Tour title in just his 11th start with a four-round total of 29-under 253 at the RSM Classic, tying the lowest 72-hole score in Tour history.

Aberg missed just one cut in 11 starts during the Tour’s fall schedule, and finished inside the top 25 eight times, including a runner-up at the Sanderson Farms Championship.

And with royalty comes the spoils, right?

Aberg enjoyed some well-deserved time off by heading back to his native country and snuck in a round at Valkommen till Eslovs Golfklubb, the course where he was introduced to the game by his father.

But while Aberg expected milder temperatures, he instead got a layer of snow on his home course. Rather than sit the day out, he took to the links with an additional accessory in his bag: a broom to sweep away the snow.

Unique conditions in Eslöv, Sweden.

“The biggest challenge is probably to get the tee in the ground,” Aberg said during the clip.

The Swedish club was founded in 1968 with the building of the first nine, but the course is located on historic land that belonged to the Ellinge Manor dating back to the 12th century.

Ellinge Castle can be seen from holes 11 and 12, a spot Aberg passed consistently by during his rise to royalty.
