Liverpool fan and rising golf star Ludvig Aberg has admitted he was 'devastated' when Jurgen Klopp announced he would be leaving Anfield at the end of the season, but welcomed Fenway Sports Group's (FSG) £2.4bn investment in the PGA Tour.
The Reds' decorated manager sent a shockwave through European football last month after confirming that, despite being top of the Premier League and still gunning for four major trophies, this season would be his last on Merseyside.
Aberg, who has become golf's hottest prospect since turning professional last June, said: "Obviously a couple weeks ago I was pretty devastated when Klopp said he was going to leave, it was one of worst days of my life." This came after he was asked about FSG's new alliance with the PGA Tour.

Aberg, pleased with his club's owners' investment, said: "It's pretty cool, they did a tremendous job with Liverpool and I know they'll do the same on the PGA Tour." FSG's investment forms part of a wider operation called Strategic Sports Group (SSG) that is investing heavily in golf. This agreement with SSG has raised questions about the PGA Tour's proposed peace deal with the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia (PIF), which funds the breakaway LIV Golf tour.
The American-based PGA Tour circuit has been in conflict with LIV Golf since its creation in June 2022. However, this was expected to end after the tour announced plans to sign an agreement with PIF. The Saudi-backed league has attracted many of the PGA Tour's big names due to its generous funding.
