The final event of FedEx Cup Fall will see journeymen and young players jostle for both PGA Tour playing privileges and job security. One player whose status will be unaffected no matter how he plays at the RSM Classic this week is reigning champion Ludvig Åberg, who will be teeing it up for the first time since the Tour Championship.
Having undergone arthroscopic surgery to repair a torn meniscus the week following the postseason finale, the Swede aims to ease his way back into competition at the site of where he last entered the winner’s circle. Åberg, who tied the PGA Tour scoring record reached 29 under for the tournament last year, confirmed he is ready to give it another go this week in Sea Island despite taking some time away from the game.
