How to watch Charles Schwab Challenge on Thursday
Ludvig Aberg has been knocking on the door of a PGA Tour win all season. The 26-year-old, two-time winner has earned six top-10 finishes already this season, and all but one of them have been top 5s. That puts him at sixth in the FedEx Cup standings even without a victory.
Though his current position of 13th in the Official World Golf Ranking is respectable, Aberg is among the most talented players on Tour and once reached as high as No. 4. A win this week would go a long way to getting him back to the top-tier of pro golf.
Aberg’s mission will get underway on Thursday morning, when he tees off for the opening round at 1:24 p.m. ET.
