Who is Joe Skovron? All you need to know about Ludvig Aberg’s new caddie for the 2024 PGA Tour season

Ludvig Aberg's new caddie, Joe Skovron, is a well-respected bagman and has worked with PGA Tour superstars including Rickie Fowler and Tom Kim. Aberg is set to switch his caddie for the upcoming PGA and DP World Tour seasons.

Since Aberg began his professional career, he has collaborated with an Englishman, Jack Clarke. However, he will now be joined by Joe Skovron for the next season, starting at the 2023 Sentry Tournament of Champions.

Skovron had worked with Fowler for 13 years before their partnership ended in August 2022. He has since caddied Tom Kim's bag and helped Kim in his recent win at the Shriners Children's Open. Aberg will make his major debut in the Masters the following year, and with Skovron's major league experience under his belt, it will benefit the rising star in the majors.

Notably, Aberg's ex-caddie Clarke is dating LPGA Tour professional Madelene Sagstrom, who recently teamed up with Aberg at the 2023 Grant Thornton Invitational Open. The Englishman was looped for both of his victories on the DP World Tour and the PGA Tour and also carried his bag at the Ryder Cup.
