Matt Brown is actively fading Ludvig Aberg this week, taking both Shane Lowry (+110) and Sungjae Im (+105) over the Swede in head-to-head matchups. Brown argued the books are pricing Aberg as a mid-20s outright when recent data says he should be in the mid-30s: Aberg has lost strokes with his irons in three straight events and finished outside the top-30 in two majors since winning at Torrey Pines. Conversely, Lowry and Im rank top-15 in both approach and bogey avoidance during the same span. Brown concedes Aberg’s raw talent makes an out-of-nowhere win possible but insists the current numbers ignore how poorly the 24-year-old is striking the ball right now, making him an automatic fade at inflated prices.

Dom Cintorino prefers Ludvig Aberg over Patrick Cantlay in the mid-20s outright range. Although Aberg’s irons were awful in his missed cut at Quail Hollow, Cintorino reminded listeners the Swede actually won at Torrey Pines during the worst iron week of his career, proving he can snap back quickly. Aberg has enjoyed 10 days off to reset, and Muirfield Village – where he posted a T5 in his lone start – rewards the driver-heavy game that makes him special. With the iron floor unlikely to dip lower, Hoke views 25-1 as a buy before the market regains confidence.

Pat Mayo warned against buying Ludvig Aberg at mid-20s prices, predicting the number will drift toward 30-1 because, as he put it, "he’s just playing like crap." Unlike last season, when Aberg’s dip could at least be tied to a knee issue, Mayo sees no mitigating factor for the Swede’s current slump in ball-striking and scoring. With no underlying metrics to justify the ticket, Mayo advised waiting for tangible signs of life before considering Aberg in outrights or DFS builds.

Rich Gehman expressed concern over Ludvig Aberg’s recent metrics and intends to take an underweight stance in DFS. Since his February victory, Aberg has lost strokes on approach in five of seven starts and registered two brutal putting showings at Truist and Harbour Town. Even his Masters T-7 was powered by just two spike rounds. Gehman noted that ownership may remain sticky because of last year’s Memorial T-5, making him an expensive risk while irons and putter trend the wrong way. He will roster Aberg roughly 5% below the field—enough exposure to respect his upside but far from core—and advised listeners to treat the Swede as a volatile tournament sprinkle rather than a staple.

Andy Lack recommended buying low on Ludvig Aberg in both outrights and DFS, calling Muirfield Village the exact profile of course where the Swede is going to "feast for the next 10–20 years." Although Aberg has been a below-average iron player since winning at Torrey Pines in February, Lack pointed to last season’s fifth-place finish here—achieved on debut—as proof the layout accentuates his elite total-driving advantage. Long, difficult venues like Bay Hill, Quail Hollow, Riviera, and Muirfield are the tracks Lack expects Aberg to dominate, so he is willing to overlook recent form if sportsbooks open a 25-1 type number and ownership remains suppressed. The thesis: Aberg’s ceiling returns the moment his approach game regresses positively, and this is the perfect spot for that snap-back.

Andy Lack called the Memorial a prime bounce-back spot for Ludvig Aberg, stating the young Swede has "reached his bottom" in both pricing and public perception. Lack likened DFS roster construction to the stock market: you want to buy elite talent when it’s trading at a discount, and Aberg’s recent dip sets up that opportunity. While he did not cite specific strokes-gained splits, Lack’s point was clear—Aberg’s long-term ceiling remains far higher than his current salary and ownership projections suggest, and positive regression is likely as his baseline ball-striking reasserts itself. Lack plans to be early, rostering Aberg in GPP builds and sprinkling outrights before the market corrects.

Kalland cannot justify Aberg’s spot as eighth favorite. Since collapsing late at the Masters he has finished T54 and T60 in two no-cut signature events, his worst stretch of the season. With poor current form and limited Quail Hollow experience, Kalland recommends fading Aberg in outrights and matchups.

Patrick McDonald tabbed Ludvig Aberg as his favorite dark-horse outright because Quail Hollow is, in his words, “a pure driving test.” Aberg sits second on Tour in strokes-gained off the tee and is one of the few players who can match Bryson, Brooks and Rory on a rain-softened 7,600-yard setup. McDonald reminded listeners that when Aberg has been healthy in U.S. majors he has flashed serious upside—T2 at the Masters and a 36-hole lead at Pinehurst. While the Swede’s iron play and short game remain inconsistent, recent PGA champions (Koepka, DeChambeau, Schauffele) prove you can ride elite driving to the Wanamaker. McDonald is sprinkling Aberg in outright cards at 60-1, playing him in top-20 markets, and using him as a boom-bust tournament pivot on DFS sites.

McBrayer labeled Ludvig Aberg a high-variance bet at +2,800. Aberg’s tee-to-green metrics scream course fit—elite driver, lethal long irons, and he dominates when conditions are soft (expected Thursday). The red flag is a brutal short game: 138th in the field around the green, meaning any firming of the course could send him packing early. McBrayer said he can "see him winning and also see him missing the cut by five," urging bettors to wait for mid-week weather updates before pulling the trigger.

Reynolds likes Ludvig Aberg at 28-1 (Circa) after his number ballooned following middling results at RBC Heritage and the Truist. The Swede’s triple-bogey-bogey finish masked elite ball-striking that had him in third place at Augusta. Reynolds pointed to Aberg’s Genesis Invitational win at the 7,765-yard Torrey Pines as proof he thrives on long layouts analogous to Quail Hollow. With plus distance and top-20 Strokes Gained: Approach numbers over the last 36 rounds, Reynolds sees upside if the putter cooperates.

In a head-to-head matchup Aberg (+105) vs. Collin Morikawa (-135), DaSilva chose the plus-money side. He noted Quail Hollow heavily rewards long hitters, a category where Morikawa lags. With firmer greens stretching approach distances, DaSilva prefers Aberg’s advantage off the tee to offset Morikawa’s iron play.

At +500, DaSilva called Ludvig Aberg a live top-five sleeper. The Swedish rookie ranks among the Tour’s longest and most accurate drivers, traits that should keep him in Quail Hollow’s fairways and out of the thick rough. Although he has never played the course and still faces questions about Sunday closing ability, DaSilva argues Aberg’s tee-to-green profile fits any long major venue and believes sheer talent can overcome the lack of course history.

Connor Federico backed Ludvig Aberg at +1600, citing the 25-year-old’s Augusta run where a molten putter and a 190-mph driver had him flirting with the lead. Federico admitted Aberg has zero Quail Hollow reps but compared him to Justin Thomas, who lifted his first major here at 24. Given Aberg’s combination of length, touch and fearlessness, Federico predicted the Swede begins a multi-major career arc this week.

Pat Mayo advised fading Ludvig Aberg at his current sub-20/1 price for the PGA Championship. Mayo said Aberg has produced only one truly positive iron week in 2025—his Torrey Pines win—while every other strong finish has been powered almost entirely by elite driving and hot putting, a profile he called too volatile for Quail Hollow’s demanding long-iron corridors. Mayo likened the blueprint to Bryson DeChambeau’s boom-or-bust style but noted that, unlike Bryson, Aberg has yet to prove he can pair the driver with sustained approach play under major-championship pressure. With Justin Thomas gaining strokes with his irons every single start and putting “fine” right now, Mayo is prioritizing JT and shelving Aberg until the Swede shows a more reliable tee-to-green floor.

Connor Federico backed Ludvig Aberg at +1600, pointing to the 25-year-old's hot putter and blazing driver that kept him on Augusta's first page last month. Although Aberg has never teed it up at Quail Hollow, Federico compared his trajectory to Justin Thomas, who claimed his first major here at 24. With Aberg's all-around talent and recent form, Federico expects him to start a multi-major career by hoisting the Wanamaker on Sunday.

Matt Gannon advised staying away from Ludvig Aberg tickets despite the course fitting his driver. Since missing the cut at the Valero, Aberg’s irons have cratered; Gannon noted he couldn’t even stick wedges close last week at Philadelphia Cricket Club and was outright poor with anything longer. With Quail Hollow demanding precise long-iron execution, Matt sees no path to contention until Aberg’s approach play rebounds, making him a clear fade in outrights and matchup markets.

Rich Gehman advised steering clear of Ludvig Aberg in both DFS cores and outright betting this week. Aberg has now lost strokes on approach and with the putter in consecutive starts— hemorrhaging 5.2 strokes on approach and 4.6 strokes putting across the RBC Heritage and last week’s Philly Cricket event despite still gaining off the tee. Gehman called the Masters performance a clear outlier in an otherwise troubling trend and questioned whether Aberg can simply “flip the switch” at every major. With early-week rain expected to stretch Quail Hollow beyond its listed 7,600 yards, the Swede’s length will help, but Gehman argued the rest of his game is “not sharp enough” to survive a major-championship setup where par will be a good score. Red flags in two volatile categories make Aberg an avoid for both cash-game DFS builds and outright tickets.

Pat Mayo said his final card decision is trending toward Ludvig Aberg over Justin Thomas because Aberg checks every box in his Quail Hollow model. Over the last 75 rounds Aberg sits 15th in driving distance yet still ranks top-50 in fairway accuracy, making him one of the very few players who can both bomb it and keep it straight. Mayo added that Aberg is elite with long irons, already owns a win at another 7,600-yard monster (Torrey Pines), and consistently gains on approach from 175-plus yards. Those traits elevate him in a week where Mayo’s weighted model is 40 % driving distance, 30 % long-iron proximity and 30 % putting. Given Aberg’s balanced profile and the soft, humid conditions that reward carry distance, Mayo expects him to outscore similarly priced studs and labelled the Swede a core outright (if 25-1 or longer) and a cornerstone DFS play at sub-15 % ownership.

Kenny Kim is steering clear of Ludvig Aberg at the current 14-to-1, saying he needs a "two in front of the price and probably a five after it" before considering a bet. Aberg has lost strokes on approach in four of his last five starts—particularly with long irons that he will hit often at 7,600-yard Quail Hollow—and his short game remains a liability if he misses greens from the gnarly rough. While Joe Idone noted Aberg’s putter improves on fast, major-caliber greens (best SG: Putting at Augusta, Olympia Fields and Pinehurst), Kenny countered that the Swede’s major record outside Augusta is two missed cuts and a back-door Masters top-10, so the sample hardly justifies a sub-20 number. Kim concedes the driving profile (long and fairly accurate) is ideal, meaning a four-shot win would not shock him, but without recent iron form or a reliable short game he is off the outright card unless the market drifts to 28-to-1 or longer.

Joe Idone likes Ludvig Aberg strictly for DraftKings line-ups and first-round leader sprinkles, not for 14-to-1 outright tickets. Idone argued the Swede’s driving profile—325-yard carry with above-average accuracy—could dominate the 7,600-yard Quail Hollow setup, but he flagged several red lights for full-tournament bets: Aberg ranks outside the top 115 in strokes-gained short game this season, has zero reps at Quail while most contenders have logged 8-10 starts there, and owns multiple missed cuts in recent majors. Idone added that books are pricing him alongside Bryson DeChambeau and Rory McIlroy despite that course-experience gap. Because the upside is a runaway win yet the floor is an early exit, Idone prefers using Aberg as a volatile DFS differentiator where missed-cut risk is less punishing, passing on outrights until the number drifts into the mid-20s.

Mike McClure said his SportsLine projection system expects Ludvig Aberg, a 16-1 co-favorite, to miss the top five at the 2025 Truist Championship. The model pointed to Aberg’s shaky recent form—T-54 or worse in three of his last four PGA Tour starts with two missed cuts—and damning approach numbers. Aberg ranks 110th in strokes gained: approach (-0.068) and 135th in GIR (63.98%), while also sitting outside the top 100 in scoring average (70.79), strokes gained: putting (-0.248) and driving accuracy (58.29%). McClure advised bettors to fade Aberg in outright and placement markets and search for more reliable ball-strikers at shorter odds.

MacMillain’s official outright ticket is Ludvig Aberg, predicting the Swede captures his maiden major at Quail Hollow. He argued Aberg’s biggest weapon—elite driving distance—perfectly aligns with the course’s demands and places him on equal footing with Rory and Scottie. With betting markets still pricing him behind those two, MacMillain sees value in Aberg outrights and each-way bets, calling Quail Hollow “no week better” for his breakthrough.

Pat Perry opened his outright card with Ludvig Aberg at 16-1. Perry noted Aberg sits 15th in the Bet-The-Number model even after recent iron hiccups, which he chalked up to a brief lull rather than a trend. On a course none of the field has seen, Perry values Aberg’s track record of winning on blind venues across three tours the past two seasons and called the Swede a “quick study with a cheat-code driver.” With soft greens expected, Perry trusts Aberg’s high-launch draw to negate back-spin issues Matt Every warned about earlier, giving him birdie looks inside 15 feet all week. He views 16-1 as a discount versus the pre-podcast 14-1 opener and is comfortable using Aberg in outrights and DFS captain slots.

Matt Every backed Ludvig Aberg at 20-1 in the signature-event draft, arguing that a brand-new tour stop erases most course-history edges and plays right into Aberg’s wheelhouse. Every pointed out that Aberg has spent the last two seasons winning on unfamiliar tracks all over the world, calling him "a quick study with a cheat-code driver." While Aberg’s approach numbers have been mediocre the past month, Every’s on-site intel from Pablo Creek indicates the Swede spent all last week grinding wedge distance control—exactly the 125-175 yard window Barnett highlighted earlier. With soft greens expected, Every thinks Aberg’s towering draw can attack tucked pins without fear of spin-back, projecting a high-birdie script that makes him worth an outright or first-round-leader stab.

Geoff Fienberg urged listeners to grab the 22-1 that still exists on Ludvig Aberg for the Truist Championship before books copy the 16-1 industry low. Aberg ranks eighth in the field in raw carry distance, allowing him to take the preferred "just clear them" line over Philadelphia Cricket Club’s staggered fairway bunkers and attack with wedges. Fienberg reminded everyone that Aberg spent last season torching layouts he had never seen—posting seven top-10s on debut tracks—so the fact that nobody has tour reps here is actually an advantage. With the Swede gaining strokes in every ball-striking category across his past four starts and Bentgrass historically being his best putting surface, Fienberg labeled Aberg a core outright, plus a must-click in Top-10 and DFS builds for long-driver exposure.

Bo McBrayer advised fading Ludvig Aberg at his current sub-25-1 price. While acknowledging Aberg’s ability to ‘go super low,’ McBrayer argued Wissahickon minimizes the Swede’s biggest edge—driver length—by forcing lay-ups on seven par-4s under 435 yards. He cited Aberg’s recent split results on short tracks (54th at RBC Heritage, MC at Valero) versus his 7th-place at the long Augusta National as evidence. With wedge play ranking outside the PGA Tour’s top 80 and only a mediocre 56% scrambling rate, McBrayer believes Aberg will struggle to keep pace in a projected −30 shootout and prefers to allocate outrights elsewhere.

Mike McClure’s SportsLine simulation model projected Ludvig Aberg, listed at 16-1 and one of the consensus favorites, to finish outside the top five at Philadelphia Cricket Club. The model pointed to Aberg’s recent form—T-54 or worse in three of his last four PGA Tour starts with two missed cuts—as a red flag. Statistically, Aberg ranks 110th in strokes gained: approach (-0.068), 135th in greens-in-regulation rate (63.98%), and outside the top 100 in scoring average (70.79), strokes gained: putting (-0.248), and driving accuracy (58.29%). Those ball-striking and putting issues suggest his current odds overstate his win equity, making him a fade in outright or placement markets.

Sia Nejad highlighted Ludvig Aberg as an early outright and DFS target. Nejad loves that Aberg combines top-tier ball-striking with 300-plus-yard carry distance, allowing him to attack the course’s two reachable par-5s and shorten several long par-4s. Aberg gained over five strokes on approach at the Texas Open and has already posted multiple top-15 finishes on bent greens this season. Nejad believes a neutral putter puts Aberg in the mix if winning score does drift into the high teens under par. Any opening price longer than 25-1 will be an auto-bet for him.

Pat Mayo admitted the setup looks tailor-made for Ludvig Aberg—320-yard carry distance and documented lag-putting success on fast greens—but still plans to short him in outrights and DFS. Since his illness at Farmers, Aberg has missed cuts at THE PLAYERS and Valero and finished 54th at RBC Heritage while losing strokes on approach in five of his last seven starts. Mayo’s projection model, which weights recent ball-striking more heavily than long-term distance, continues to grade him outside the top 25 in expected strokes-gained. He noted Aberg’s putter has only spiked at Augusta-speed greens (Masters, Bay Hill, U.S. Open) and worries bettors are paying for those isolated highs. Unless the price drifts beyond 35-1 or his DraftKings salary slides below $8,700, Mayo will fade and hope the iron slump persists.

Alex Blickle flagged Ludvig Aberg as the prototype play for Philadelphia Cricket. Aberg already averages 320-plus yards of carry and ranks inside the Tour’s top-10 in ball speed, so he can take the preferred ‘fly the bunker’ lines the hosts have been hammering all show. Where he really separates, in Blickle’s view, is with the putter on ultra-fast, wildly sloped greens. Through two Masters starts Aberg has gained over 1.2 strokes per round putting from 25-plus feet—a number that mirrors the Truist model’s lag-putting emphasis. Blickle sees that exact skill blend (huge carry + touch on 13-stimps) as ‘Augusta North’ and thinks sportsbooks have not priced it in: anything 30-1 or longer in the outright market and sub-$9,000 on DraftKings qualifies as a buy. He wants Aberg in DFS stacks built around pure distance and will sprinkle top-10 tickets as well.

Patrick McDonald tabbed Ludvig Aberg as a top-five choice in his PGA Championship power rankings, arguing the tournament has evolved into a pure driving test that plays directly into Aberg’s superpower. Aberg ranked 3rd in Strokes-Gained: Off-the-Tee over the last six months and already flashed major chops with a T2 at Augusta. McDonald reminded listeners that Aberg skipped last year’s Wells Fargo because of a knee issue that also limited him at Valhalla, so books might be undervaluing him. With a healthy knee and Quail Hollow’s wide corridors demanding length and precision, McDonald sees Aberg as a legitimate outright threat in the 30-1 range and a must-use in DFS builds that reward birdie streaks.

Mike McClure's SportsLine model highlights that Ludvig Aberg, despite being among top favorites, will struggle at the 2025 RBC Heritage. Aberg heads into Harbour Town with concerning form, missing the cut in two of his last three tournaments. He’s notably struggled with consistency, ranking 100th in driving accuracy (57.63%) and 109th in greens in regulation (65.33%), which can be particularly punishing on this narrow course. Adding further reason to fade, Aberg ranks poorly in strokes gained putting (-0.125, 118th) as well as total putting metrics (282.8, 166th). The model believes these persistent accuracy and putting issues severely diminish his chances this week, with far superior wagering options found elsewhere in the field.

Derek Farnsworth recommended fading Ludvig Aberg at the RBC Heritage, based primarily on poor course suitability and recent results. Farnsworth detailed his model ranks Aberg poorly due to the lack of importance placed upon driving distance at this venue, contrasting sharply with bomber-friendly layouts where Aberg typically excels. Additionally, Farnsworth pointed out he dislikes rostering golfers who were recently 'in the mix,' as they tend to attract overly high ownership. Combining these factors, Farnsworth is confident in fading Aberg this week, expecting his limitations off the tee at a precision-focused Pete Dye design to negatively impact his performance.

Kelley Bydlon remains optimistic about Ludvig Aberg's trajectory despite his disappointing finish at the Masters. Bydlon pointed out that Aberg was competitive and hung in contention until he faltered on the final two holes with a bogey and triple bogey. Still, Bydlon expects him to be 'a monster' this season, seeing his Masters result as evidence Aberg is not yet at an elite level but trending strongly upward. Bettors and fantasy players should look for opportunities to capitalize on Aberg's future breakout potential at more favorable odds after this performance.

Kelley Bydlon decided against betting Ludvig Aberg at the RBC Heritage despite liking his talent and long-term potential. Bydlon has played Aberg frequently previously, but cited significant concerns about his shaky approach numbers, critical at Harbour Town due to high demand for precise iron play. Given the course's setup emphasizing accuracy on approach, Aberg's recent inconsistent iron performances raised enough red flags for Bydlon to pass on him despite thinking the player will likely have substantial success later in the year.

Anonymous Swing Coach recommended Ludvig Aberg, impressed by his all-around game displayed at Augusta last week where he nearly secured the green jacket. Harbour Town requires smart, strategic play similar to Augusta, and the coach believes Aberg has all the necessary shots and the mental approach perfectly suited to succeed at this course.

Brandon Gdula expressed hesitance around rostering Ludvig Aberg for DFS at RBC Heritage, acknowledging Aberg's overall talent but voicing concern about his comparatively weaker iron play among premium options. While acknowledging Aberg's skill and potential, Gdula pointed out that Harbour Town emphasizes elite iron play, an area where Aberg notably trails leading contenders like Justin Thomas, Collin Morikawa, and Scottie Scheffler. Due to this disadvantage, Gdula would generally prefer alternative selections offering more assured elite approach metrics this week.

Kenny Kim suggested pivoting toward Ludvig Aberg instead of Collin Morikawa in DraftKings fantasy lineups, motivated by expected lower ownership and perceived mental toughness. Kenny argued Morikawa will be popular given his frequent top-ten finishes, but views Aberg as the smarter leverage play given comparable skill, greater perceived competitive killer instinct, and significantly lower roster rates in DFS tournaments. Especially in larger DFS contests, Kenny sees value in differentiating lineups by embracing the lower-owned upside that Aberg provides compared to Morikawa.

Eric Polzin explicitly advised against using Ludvig Aberg in DFS lineups at RBC Heritage due to his unfavorable statistical data projections. He emphasized that the standard models did not project Aberg as a favorable play this week, noting that anyone intent on rostering him would have to significantly alter and customize their modeling data. Polzin stressed that custom model adjustments to justify a golfer indicates that naturally derived projections do not support the selection, making Aberg a risky, undesirable DFS option based purely on the data.

Pat Perry favors Ludvig Aberg over Xander Schauffele as a betting pick at the RBC Heritage, highlighting that despite entering The Masters with shaky form, Aberg regained sharpness during the tournament. Perry believes Harbour Town's course aligns very well with Aberg's skills, emphasizing its position-focused tee shots and requirement for precise iron play. With driver often unnecessary, Aberg can lean on his versatile and accurate iron game—traits Perry expects will pay off this week.

Pat Fitzmaurice expressed concern regarding Ludvig Aberg's statistical fit for Harbour Town despite his recent strong Masters showing and 10th-place finish at Harbour Town last year. Fitzmaurice highlighted several worrying metrics in Aberg's profile, including ranking 100th or worse in driving accuracy, scrambling, and approach shots from both 150-175 yards and 175-200 yards, all crucial categories for success at Harbour Town. Fitzmaurice found this statistical profile troubling enough to advise fading betting exposure to Aberg this week.

Pat Fitzmaurice identified Ludvig Aberg as a strong betting value at the RBC Heritage following his impressive performance at The Masters. Fitzmaurice highlighted Aberg's recent form at Augusta National as evidence of his strong play against elite fields, noting Aberg had briefly been in contention on Sunday, only falling out of the race late due to a bogey on 17 and a triple bogey on the 18th hole. Despite these late mistakes, Fitzmaurice believes Aberg's overall performance positions him well for success at Harbour Town, where accurate ball striking and consistency are crucial. Considering his odds of +1200, he sees Aberg as a worthy wager.

Mike McClure's SportsLine model urges fading Ludvig Aberg as a betting favorite at the 2025 RBC Heritage, despite his recent success including a victory at the Genesis Invitational and multiple top-10 finishes. The model points to clear concerns over his current form. Aberg has recently struggled with consistency, missing the cut in two of his past three tournaments. Accuracy has been a major weakness, as he's just 100th on Tour in driving accuracy (57.63%) and 109th in greens-in-regulation percentage (65.33%), traits often critical at Harbour Town's tight, demanding layout. Additionally, his putting woes have continued, ranked 118th in strokes gained putting (-0.125) and 166th in total putting stats (282.8). Given these struggles, the model deems Aberg unlikely to threaten the leaderboard and is recommending bettors look elsewhere on the odds board.

Matt Wiley advised caution with rostering Ludvig Aberg this week at The Masters, pointing out concerning factors including recent swing changes and back-to-back missed cuts. Wiley explicitly noted that publicly discussed alterations to his swing make him especially risky in the high-pressure environment of Augusta, cautioning that unproven adjustments inevitably lead to inconsistency and elevated risk in DFS lineups. Given Augusta's demanding conditions and course management complexity, Aberg firmly landed on Wiley's list of players to avoid.

Derek Farnsworth is fading Ludvig Aberg at Augusta, concerned that last year's near victory depended heavily on an unprecedented career-best putting performance. Historically, no golfer has won the Masters on their debut since 1979, a trend Aberg nearly broke but required unsustainable putting numbers to come close. Farnsworth argues that Aberg's recent form has also slipped since his earlier success, providing further rationale for fading him this year, especially given his high price tag at $10,800 in DFS contests.

Rick Gehman advised caution with Ludvig Aberg at Augusta, noting his recent struggles and unsustainable past putting performance. Aberg enters this week having missed two consecutive cuts, losing strokes on approach in two of his last three starts, and struggling around the green in three straight events. Gehman highlighted that Aberg's excellent Augusta finish last year relied on a 'career-best' putting performance, gaining 7.5 strokes—a number unlikely to repeat. Considering current poor form in irons and short game play, coupled with expected putting regression from historic highs, Gehman sees substantial risk. He hinted that barring unexpectedly low ownership numbers, he'll likely pass entirely on rostering Aberg this Masters week.

Sean Fairholm recommended Ludvig Aberg at attractive odds (+1800), noting Augusta National has evolved into a course rewarding elite ball strikers due to lengthened holes—this fits Aberg perfectly. Despite recent struggles like two consecutive missed cuts, Fairholm highlighted Aberg's significant upside, exemplified by nearly winning the Masters as a rookie and capturing victory earlier at the Genesis Invitational. Labeling Aberg as a potential future World No. 1, Fairholm encouraged backing him both outright and in top-five finish betting markets (+315), as he fits the type of player profile needed to emerge atop Augusta's leaderboard.

Matt Chivers pinpointed Ludvig Aberg as an attractive betting candidate for the 2025 Masters at 18/1 odds, given his impressive Augusta debut performance in 2024. Aberg finished runner-up after pushing eventual champion Scottie Scheffler late into the final round, gaining over two strokes putting—a significant improvement for an otherwise inconsistent putter—alongside excellent ball-striking stats (over one stroke gained off-the-tee and approach). Throughout 2024, Aberg further proved his substantial potential by recording top finishes in premier events like the Memorial (T5), Scottish Open (T4), and Pebble Beach (2nd). His big-game capability was underscored by winning the Genesis Invitational at Torrey Pines in 2025. Aberg’s towering drives and elite iron play, evidenced by ranking 7th overall in strokes gained and 14th in strokes gained off-the-tee on the PGA Tour, suit Augusta National's layout perfectly. While putting inconsistencies have been his main challenge historically, his strong performance on Augusta's notoriously difficult greens indicates potential improvement, making him a strong contender and solid bet moving into his second Masters appearance.

Bo McBrayer is high on Ludvig Aberg heading into the 2025 Masters due to his impressive debut last year, almost winning the tournament in his first-ever major start. McBrayer appreciates Aberg's scoring mentality and killer instinct, likening him to major competitor Brooks Koepka. Noting Aberg's remarkable upside and capability to dramatically separate from the field, McBrayer considers current odds (+2000 odds outright) as the shortest acceptable price he'd bet on him, but remains excited about the young Swede's tournament potential.

Byron Lindeque labeled Ludvig Aberg as running a 'Ponzi scheme' due to his unsustainable reliance on elite putting in his debut Masters appearance. Byron highlighted Aberg's disastrous chipping metrics, losing over seven strokes around greens in majors last year—a glaring liability at Augusta. With Aberg entering the Masters in poor form and reliant on putting significantly better than his career norm, Byron aggressively recommended fading Aberg in the top Scandinavian market, preferring Viktor Hovland or longer-shot picks instead.

Skylar Hoke suggested that despite recent missed cuts at Players Championship and Valero Texas Open, Ludvig Aberg represents sneaky DFS upside at Augusta. Aberg's volatile but high-ceiling game, including an improbable Sunday comeback win earlier this year, combined with last year's Masters debut finishing second, positions him as a potentially overlooked appealing DFS selection. Priced directly between elite golfers Collin Morikawa and Rory McIlroy, Aberg's recent struggles should lower public roster percentage, making him a strong contrarian DFS candidate.
