Ludvig Aberg has praised Tyrrell Hatton as one of the most underrated players in the game — despite the Englishman no longer competing on the PGA Tour.
Speaking to The Golfer’s Journal a week before the season’s first major at The Masters, Aberg was asked who he considers to be the most underrated golfer on Tour in 2026.
The Swede wasted little time in pointing to Hatton, who moved from the PGA Tour LIV Golf in 2024.
“Well, I mean obviously he’s not on the PGA Tour right now, but Tyrrell Hatton is amazing. I think he’s a really good player,” said Aberg.
Aberg rattled off a number of answers to questions during a recent podcast episode with The Golfer’s Journal.

He was also asked who was the last European Ryder Cup player to go to bed during the Bethpage celebrations last September.

Aberg, 26, enters The Masters from 9-12 April in impressive form and is currently priced at 16/1 to win his first major at Augusta.
Hatton is also chasing a first major title, but is a much bigger 70/1 outsider.

Both players share a close connection, having both represented Luke Donald’s Europe in victorious contests in 2023 (Marco Simone) and 2025 (Bethpage).

Aberg, already a two-time PGA Tour winner, continues to make waves on the circuit and he is once again in contention at this week’s Valero Texas Open.
Hatton, 34, also has a glittering CV, albeit he has endured something of a dip in form of late on LIV Golf, at least by his own high standards.
The Englishman owns eight DP World Tour victories, a PGA Tour win at the Arnold Palmer Invitational in 2020, and one LIV Golf title at Nashville in 2024.

Hatton has played in four Ryder Cups, contributing to three European wins, with a match record of eight wins, four defeats, and three halves.
It’s not been vintage Hatton so far in 2026, testament to his lofty odds of 70/1 to win The Masters.
He’s played in six tournaments on both LIV and DP World Tour this season, with just two top-10 finishes.
Hatton does not have the best record at Augusta National. He’s made nine appearances with just one top-10 finish, coming with a tie for ninth in 2024.
Aberg, on the other hand, has two top-10s in just two starts at The Masters. He finished and impressive second on debut in 2024 and then followed it up with a seventh last year.
