Ludvig Åberg Reveals Ryder Cup Teammate's UFO Interest

Ludvig Åberg and his Ryder Cup teammate Viktor Hovland have a strong bond on and off the golf course.

What happened?

On the Saturday of the 2023 Ryder Cup, Åberg and Hovland dominated Americans Scottie Scheffler and Brooks Koepka for the largest margin of victory in an 18-hole match.

Why it matters for Ludvig Åberg

Åberg said Hovland is always into UFOs and related topics, making their conversations interesting.

What comes next?

The two golfers are expected to be partnered again come Friday's start to the competition.

Åberg and Hovland have played multiple practice rounds since the 2023 Ryder Cup and their caddies get along great.

Åberg explained that they speak the same language and come from a similar background, having grown up in neighboring countries Norway and Sweden.

Hovland did not speak with reporters on Wednesday at Bethpage Black, but is slated to meet with the media on Thursday.

The two have not been part of the same practice pairings through the first three days on Long Island.

Åberg said he had a good time with Hovland in Rome and they have a good friendship on Tour and in the team room.

Their ability to communicate easily is part of what makes them a successful Ryder Cup pair.

Åberg and Hovland's friendship extends beyond the golf course, with Åberg saying he might become interested in UFOs if he hangs out with Hovland long enough.
