Aberg will undergo surgery this week to repair a torn meniscus in his left knee, Adam Schupak of USA Today reports.
Aberg's knee injury goes back to May, when he withdrew from the Wells Fargo Championship. He should be able to hit golf balls three-to-four weeks after, likely pushing his earliest return date to sometime in October. Fortunately, Aberg will likely play this fall, albeit on a limited basis.
Aberg closed with a one-under 71 on Sunday at the BMW Championship to finish in a tie for second place.
Aberg began the week slow with a 72, but bounced back with a nine-under 63 in round two to get right back in contention. Aberg went 71-71 over the weekend to ultimately come up one shot shy of Keegan Bradley, however. It was Aberg's third runner-up finish of the season. The Swede ranked top-five in Denver in SG: Off-the-Tee, SG: Around-the-Green and SG: Putting. He will be the No. 5 seed for the TOUR Championship and start at five-under-par and five strokes back of FedExCup leader Scottie Scheffler.
