Alex NOREN

About

Spent eight years as an amateur competing for the Swedish national team from 1998 to 2005 and graduated from Oklahoma State University with a degree in Business Marketing. Turned pro at the end of 2005 and earned a HotelPlanner Tour card after reaching Qualifying School Final Stage. Claimed his maiden professional victory at the 2006 Rolex Trophy and finished third on the Rankings to graduate to the DP World Tour for 2007. Won his first DP World Tour title at the 2009 Omega European Masters, and then won twice during the 2011 campaign at the Saab Wales Open and Nordea Masters – his first victory on home soil. Was victorious at the Nordea Masters for a second time in 2015 and the following year claimed four titles during a remarkable season. He won the Aberdeen Asset Management Scottish Open, Omega European Masters, British Masters and Nedbank Golf Challenge in a five-month stretch, which saw him finish third on the Race to Dubai Rankings. Won the inaugural Rolex Series event when he staged a dramatic final day comeback to triumph at the 2017 BMW PGA Championship, carding a course record-equalling ten under par 62 at Wentworth Club. Claimed his second Rolex Series title at the 2018 HNA Open de France, taking his European Tour trophy tally to ten. Made his Ryder Cup debut at Le Golf National, Paris, in September 2018, when he rounded off a spectacular European victory in style, holing a monster putt on the final green to defeat Bryson DeChambeau long after Francesco Molinari had sealed the winning point for Thomas Bjørn's team. Ended a seven-year winless drought as he won the Betfred British Masters for a second time in 2025, after which he was named as one of Luke Donald's Vice Captains for the 2025 Ryder Cup. Just three weeks later he won the BMW PGA Championship for a second time, defeating Adrian Saddier in a play-off for his third Rolex Series victory. His tenth-place finish on the 2025 Race to Dubai earned him dual membership with the PGA TOUR for 2026.
