Having moved his attentions from football to golf aged 13, Åberg enjoyed an outstanding success as an amateur golfer, before turning professional in June 2023, aged 23. During his amateur days he became the world's No.1 ranked men's amateur. As a student at Texas Tech, he won the Ben Hogan Award as the best collegiate player in the United States in both 2022 and 2023; Jon Rahm also won this award twice (2015, '16).
Success came quickly to Åberg as a professional with some impressive finishes in his first few events on the PGA Tour. Back in Europe, and in only his third start as a professional on the European (DP World) Tour, he claimed the coveted European Masters title at Crans-sur-Sierre in Sept 2023.
