Created to recognize the best college golfers in the nation based on wins, competition and seasonal performance, the PGA TOUR U Rankings are developed in partnership with the World Amateur Golf Rankings.
Top-five finishers in the final 2022-23 Speed Global Rankings will earn membership to the Korn Ferry Tour, the primary qualifying tour for the full PGA Tour. Golfers who finish between 6-15 earn membership on the PGA TOUR Canada or PGA Tour Latin America. Exempt players must win three times on tour to earn their full PGA TOUR card.
Currently ranked third in the world amateur rankings, Aberg opened the 2022-23 season with a performance at the Frederica Cup. The veteran shot back-to-back rounds of 66 and 65 to finish third. His strong performance helped the Red Raiders to a solitary third place finish.
Aberg, the 2022 Ben Hogan Award winner, was named to the Fred Haskins Award watch list earlier this month. A three-time All-America selection, Aberg is the third European-born Hogan Award winner, joining Victor Hovland (Oklahoma State) and Jon Rahm (Arizona State).

Wall and Martin joined teammates. Carl Diedrich Min Fossas And Ethan Davidson. Meen Fosaas did not play at the Frederica Cup last week, while Davidson shot 71 and 70 to finish in even par.
