Ludvig Åberg Claims Victory at 2025 Genesis Invitational
Ludvig Åberg secured the biggest win of his young career at the 2025 Genesis Invitational, claiming a one-stroke victory over Maverick McNealy at Torrey Pines Golf Club. The 25-year-old Swedish golfer posted a final-round 66 to finish at 12 under, earning a $4 million prize—the largest winner’s check of the season. Åberg’s victory, his second on the PGA Tour and third since turning professional in 2023, also propelled him to No. 1 in the FedEx Cup standings.
Åberg’s performance was marked by a strong back-nine surge, including four birdies in his final six holes and a bogey-free stretch over his last 13 holes. His decisive moment came on the par-5 18th, where he sank a birdie putt from just inside 7 feet to seal the win. Earlier in the tournament, Åberg made headlines with his first career hole-in-one during the third round on the par-3 3rd hole, part of a friendly bet with his caddie, Joe Skovron, to record seven hole-outs by the RBC Heritage in April.
The Genesis Invitational, with its $20 million purse, saw Åberg outlast a competitive field, including McNealy, who carded an 8-under 64 in the final round but fell just short. World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, despite a challenging week, remained in contention until the end, finishing tied for second with Patrick Rodgers. Åberg’s triumph at Tiger Woods’ signature event underscored his rising star power in professional golf, with many expecting more significant victories in his future.
