Ludvig Aberg told Golf Channel's Todd Lewis on Sunday at the Tour Championship that he would be having arthroscopic surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his left knee that he's been dealing with since the springtime.
According to Lewis, Aberg will be out of action for 3-4 weeks, at which point he'll be able to again hit golf balls. He should still be able to play a few fall tournaments to round out the year -- perhaps including the DP World Tour's final two events in the United Arab Emirates.
Hopefully Aberg's surgery leads to a quick recovery.
However, the news of Aberg's surgery and the longer-term nature of his meniscus issue should lead to louder calls for an injury list in professional golf, specifically to the PGA Tour.
