Ludvig Aberg nearly matches golf legend Tiger Woods with THIS amazing feat

Aberg’s dream year came in 2023, when he secured his first DP World Tour victory. He followed this up with a win on the PGA Tour at the Farmers Insurance Cup, becoming only the fourth player in history to win on both tours in the same year.

Aberg’s winning streak continued as he was part of the victorious European Ryder Cup team in September last year. In 2024 he is just growing game by game. Aberg completed the AT&T Pro-Am as solo second behind Wyndham Clark. His impressive performances throughout the season saw him climb to a career-high ranking of number 11 in the Official World Golf Ranking (OWGR).

What is OWGR and how does it work?

Recently there have seen a lot of discussion and controversies surrounding the OWGR. In simple words the Official World Golf Ranking (OWGR) points is the system used to rank professional golfers across all major tours worldwide. It acts as a crucial measure for tournament entry, seeding, and prize money.

It works over a two-year period of time, which means a player’s ranking considers their performance over the past 104 weeks. Each week, points are given based on a player’s finish in eligible tournaments which include major championships, major tours like the PGA Tour, DP World Tour, and others which meet specific criteria.

Each event receives a Field Rating based on the average ranking of participating players. Stronger fields award more points to top finishers. Based on their final position, players earn points proportional to the tournament’s Field Rating. Finishing first in a high-ranked tournament grants the most points.

Some questions and controversies around them are that they favor tours only like the PGA Tour and not the LIV, potentially disadvantaging players from other tours. The point system some times can really be complex making it difficult for fans to fully understand.
