After a slow few weeks on the PGA Tour calendar, things are heating back up with two of the biggest events on tour followed by the first major of the year.
Players are in Orlando for the Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill Golf Club, which gets underway on Thursday. The Tour then moves to The PLAYERS Championship as the sport’s biggest stars gear up for The Masters in April.
One top player who has had an excellent start to the season is Swedish phenom Ludvig Aberg. The 25-year-old won his last event, The Genesis Invitational at Torrey Pines, to collect his biggest PGA Tour win.
Now, Aberg is focused on bringing home more trophies, specifically his first major at Augusta National. Ahead of his first round at Bay Hill, he detailed his plans to prepare for The Masters.
Aberg will take a scouting trip to Augusta National, a common practice among some of the top players in the world, before playing the Valero Texas Open the week before the first major of the season.

“We’re going to go on a trip after THE PLAYERS, I’m actually bringing my dad, which will be really cool, to go play Augusta,” Aberg said to the media.
“So I get to see a golf course again for the first time since last April, so we’ll see if there’s going to be any changes.”
The Swede should have plenty of confidence heading into Augusta this year after taking the golf world by storm last season at the same event.
In his major championship debut, Aberg finished in solo second place behind champion Scottie Scheffler at 7-under par. As Max Homa, Collin Morikawa and other contenders faltered on Sunday, it was the Swede that kept things interesting.
Ultimately, Scheffler was too much and took home his Masters title.
But Aberg’s poise and ability to navigate one of the toughest courses in the world with ease despite his inexperience gave fans hope that at least one Green Jacket is in his future.
It will take one heck of an effort for Aberg to dethrone Scheffler, who is still the No. 1 player in the world and has won The Masters twice in the last three years.
If anyone can dethrone him, Aberg feels like as good of a candidate as any.
