What Ludvig Åberg always makes sure to travel with – Australian Golf Digest

Ludvig Aberg has been a professional golfer for 16 months and has made 30 PGA Tour starts and 10 appearances on the DP World Tour. He’s won once on each tour, finished second in his first ever major start (2024 Masters) and played for the victorious Ryder Cup team last fall. Needless to say travel has already been a large part of Aberg’s nascent career and promises to be so for years to come. As such, the 24-year-old Swede has quickly picked up on some dos and don’ts when it comes to packing his bags for road trips. Here’s what Aberg takes with him on trips and what he’s learned along the way about travel.

TUMI ALPHA INTERNATIONAL DUAL-ACCESS CARRY-ON

I always travel with an average-size suitcase, a carry-on and my golf bag. I try to keep it light on the outbound and don’t pack too much because I typically add things as I go, so I like to leave room for more.

My packing list for a typical tournament week is about 12 to 15 golf polos, five pairs of shorts, 10 pairs of pants, two to three pairs of golf shoes. I always roll up my clothes as it creates more space in my bag, but then my clothes get wrinkly, so I iron everything when I get to the hotel. If I’m packing shorts, I’ll always make sure to pack ankle socks. I like to play golf in high socks but never wear high socks with shorts.

I keep it casual when packing for off the course. I always have a pair of Adidas Ultraboost sneakers with me, at least one pair of originals—usually Stan Smiths—and probably a hoodie (Adidas Originals Trefoil), another favorite.

IPAD MINI https://www.golfdigest.com/content/dam/images/golfdigest/fullset/2023/1/GD1024_WHAT_LUDVIG_03.jpg

I like to bring my iPad Mini because it’s perfect for watching movies and shows. I also normally have a book in my bag, even though I don’t always read. I tend to fall asleep on the plane, but if I have the energy to read, I will.

LIQUID I.V. https://www.golfdigest.com/content/dam/images/golfdigest/fullset/2023/1/GD1024_WHAT_LUDVIG_06.jpg

It’s easy to get dehydrated while flying, so I like to drink a lot of water and coffee. I also keep a packet of Liquid I.V. in my carry-on to make sure I get some vitamins.

CHIPOTLE DOUBLE-WRAPPED BURRITO https://www.golfdigest.com/content/dam/images/golfdigest/fullset/2023/1/GD1024_WHAT_LUDVIG_04.jpg

When I get to the airport, I look for the healthy stuff, which isn’t always an easy thing to find. Chipotle is great because it is so quick and good for you, and you can create your own meal. My go-to order is what’s called a Double-Wrapped Burrito. You get two tortillas, and I load up with black beans, brown rice, chicken, guac and some veggies—the works.

DENTAL FLOSS https://www.golfdigest.com/content/dam/images/golfdigest/fullset/2023/1/GD1024_WHAT_LUDVIG_07.jpg

One thing I always have on me is floss because I really hate when things get stuck in my teeth.
