With a message on his social networks, Ludvig Aberg has announced that he is withdrawing from the Wells Fargo due to knee problems: “I am contacting you to inform you that I will have to withdraw from the Wells Fargo Championship. I was very excited to play at Quail Hollow for the first time. Unfortunately, I have a knee problem and after consulting with my doctors, we believe it is best for me to take some additional time to rest. I hope everyone has a good week and I am looking forward to playing next week”.
The young 24-year-old player will not be able to make his debut this season at the Wells Fargo Championship, but the news becomes even more relevant if we take into account that we are less than ten days away from the start of the second major of the season. The alarms are going off.
In his message, the world number six makes it clear that he wants to play next week and that his knee simply needs a little more rest, but he does not give details of what these problems are. A precautionary absence at Quail Hollow, but considering what knee injuries are like, we will have to be very aware of how the Swede’s health evolves. We have to wait to confirm whether the Swede will be able to play the second Major of his career or in what state he arrives to compete in a Major.
No player will replace Åberg in the sixth designated of the season as the next on the list, Peter Malnati, had already received an invitation as the winner of the tournament. The field will be 69 players.
