Ryder Cup star Ludvig Åberg says he must slow his tempo after criticism over pace‑of‑play on the PGA Tour. The 26‑year‑old admits his rapid rhythm forces teammates to wait, a problem that has haunted the tour for years. He warns that taking a moment extra can lift shot quality, almost letting the world around him slip into slow motion today.

The Swedish player switched to a mallet putter at the Charles Schwab Challenge, joining the likes of Scheffler, McIlroy and Fleetwood, and says he has steadied his game since turning pro in June 2023. Åberg credits a close partnership with caddie Joe Skovron for a more predictable approach, arguing repetition beats constant experimentation on the course everywhere in tournament play today.

Looking ahead, Åberg eyes his first major title and feels the coming seasons will bring solid chances. He says a win in 2026 would make him the happiest guy in the world, while noting the DP World Tour’s European Swing continues at the KLM Open in the Netherlands. Fans will watch his tempo adjustments as the tour battles speed issues.
