Tiger Woods’ former coach has issued a damning assessment of Ludvig Aberg.
Aberg made a flying start to his career, earning a place at the Ryder Cup just months after turning professional in 2023. He chipped in with two points to help Team Europe secure a famous victory, beating Scottie Scheffler along the way.
Speaking on his podcast, Haney said: “This Ludvig Aberg, they keep pumping him up. Every couple of years, you get a guy from Europe, and they say he is the new sliced bread. This guy could be it. He could be the sliced bread.
“But the way they pump him up, let’s see him win something. I know he played good at the Masters last year and played well in some majors. He has a great golf swing.”
Haney went on to reference Aberg’s muted display at the Farmers Insurance Open, where a dreadful final round saw him finish T42 with a total score of three-over-par.
Haney is never shy to offer his opinions on players, with Rory McIlroy coming in for criticism after his dramatic collapse on the final day of last year’s US Open.
