You don't think he will win multiple majors? One? None?
I'm hesitant to say he's a future hall of famer. I mean he has only won one Tour event. I mean there are years where literally nobody is inducted into the golf HoF. The requirements to get in are pretty tough, minimum 15 wins and 2 majors. That's elite company. But I'm hesitant to anoint people in pretty much every sport.

I wasn't comparing their ages, just what I think he could accomplish as in wins / type of player.

Future #1 player in the world, handful of major wins, 20-25+ wins on tour. Kid is already a top 5 player right now imo.

He and Brooks are my favorite guys to watch and Ludvig obviously has all the talent in the world. I think the only knock on him is that he does have a tendency to play conservatively. He's the ultimate "boring golf is good golf" guy, but he has the talent to take some risks. I think as he gets more experience, he'll start to develop a sense on when to take those on and when not to.
Kinda reminds me of when your buddy invites a ringer to the group and you're thinking you're going to see some slinger draws into tight pins but the dude just hits fairway, green, 2-putt over and over. Still fun to see that consistency, but it'd be a lot cooler to see the dude pick some spots to ride the lightning and sling one in there.

Is the 2 majors a hard criteria?
Fred Couples only has one major.
“With 15 PGA Tour wins and one major, Couples’ career could be classified as very good, but not outstanding. 15 wins and one major would be the equivalent of a baseball player with a .275 career batting average and 260 homes runs. A very good career to be sure, but certainly not deserving of a spot in Cooperstown.”

Jury is still out IMO. His reputation and expectations do not match his record. He has no great wins as a pro or an amateur. No US Am, no NCAA individual title. This weekend, he didn't play well and started missing it left under pressure like I thought he might.

Tour players average well over 99% of their 2 footers. At the most, a guy would maybe miss one 2 footer over the course of the year.
Wonder if it's because they're putting the coin down??
Lol though Ludvig has looked incredible when he's on, that's for sure. He has huge, easy power and seems to already have a knack for making smart plays that will only get better as time goes on.
I see his potential as somewhere between Tony Finau and Dustin Johnson. I'd save the Tiger comps until he's won a major by 8 strokes

"is Aberg overrated"
He’s overrated because the word generational gets thrown around when talking about him. He’s a stud but not a generational talent.

I would love when Johnny Miller would openly mock players on air for marking ridiculously short putts.
Well Johnny Miller probably should have done that more since he used to be one of the worst putters on Tour.

Ceiling?
I’d say 3 majors and 25 tour wins
So basically a Dustin Johnson career is his ceiling IMHO

Dug a little more and it looks like it is either or, not both. So 15 wins or at least two majors if you don't have 15 wins. And there are inductions every two years.
Criteria:
quote:
Golfers
PGA Tour/PGA Tour Champions/European Tour Member: Players must have been a member of one of these major professional tours for at least 10 years.
A Minimum of 15 Wins: Players should have won at least 15 official victories on recognized tours or at least two major championships.
Major Championship Requirement: A player can gain entry through this category if they have won at least two major championships.
PGA Tour Lifetime Achievement: If a player has made a significant impact on the PGA Tour, they may be considered for induction.
International Ballot: Golfers from non-PGA Tour and non-European Tour backgrounds are eligible if they have achieved excellence in international golf.
It's tough to get in. Looks like there are only 118 men in the HoF and that's including non golfers like analysts, course designers, tv producers, and US Presidents.

Marking 2 footers is less about gaining your composure/mental, and more about cleaning off the ball of any dew or sand. Hit the ball a little low on the face, and those two physical elements can stop the ball short of the hole, etc.
