Heading into the PGA Tour’s final full event of 2024, this week’s RSM Classic, Swede Ludvig Aberg may not have felt much motivation to change drivers. After all, the 25-year-old former Texas Tech star ranked 12th on the PGA Tour in strokes gained: off the tee (.538) and 21st in average driving distance at 310.5 meters.
But Aberg changed anyway, removing the Titleist TSR2 driver he had used all year to earn eight top 10 finishes and $9,728,857 in prize money and adding a new Titleist GT2 in its place.
Aberg’s GT2 has 9 degrees of loft, but the SureFit adjustable pipe is set to the D4 position, which adds 0.75 degrees of loft without changing the lean angle. The club appears to be equipped with the same Fujikura Ventus Black 6 X Aberg shaft used throughout 2024.
Aberg returns to action after undergoing knee surgery following the Tour Championship. This break and playing a PGA Tour event before the holiday season may have created the perfect opportunity to test the new Titleist driver in competition.
On Thursday, Aberg averaged 311 yards per drive off the tee, and on the 584-yard, par-5 seventh hole, his drive reached 350 yards.
