When a young kid tried golf at four, who knew it would become his identity? The European Tour star Alex Noren found immense success with his career, having 11 professional wins, including the BMW PGA Championship, the Aberdeen Asset Management Scottish Open, the British Open, and more. Well, with all the success, he isn’t the only one to give credit to. A huge credit goes to his support pillars: his parents, wife, and kids.

While the golf community didn’t know it, the 42-year-old has a small, beautiful family with his wife, Jennifer Noren, which has been a pivotal part of his success as a golfer. So here are all the details about the Swedish professional’s family.

Alex Noren’s family

Noren turned professional in 2005 and started to turn heads with his performance, with two wins in the initial years. But his exceptional performance after 2010 is what has made the impact. After achieving two victories in 2006 and 2009, the golfer went on to record a spree of 9 victories from 2011 to 2018. Well, coincidentally, 2010 was the year when Noren began dating Jennifer Kovacs.

The Stockholm University Alum, Kovacs started her professional journey in a customer service and marketing role, and later transitioned into Executive Assistant for Abbott Scandinavia in 2013. She even founded her company, Ryde Equestrian, which offers safety tools for horse riders. But despite the different career paths, she has been the biggest supporter of the golfer.

The pair, with their great bonding, got engaged after 6 years of relationship in 2016 and married on September 2, 2017. Furthermore, the support was extended with two beautiful kids for whom the golfer has been vocal in expressing his joy.

“Fatherhood gave me something extra in life,” is his statement after welcoming his two kids. In March 2016, Iris, the older one, was born, while in 2019, Roy, the younger son, was welcomed to the family. Though the mother keeps her personal life private, the golfer has been open to sharing the key moments of the family while praising and appreciating every moment of joy.

With the support of family, the golfer has recorded glorious victories in his career.

The most recent appearance of the Noren family was at the Masters Par 3 contest, where they teamed up to support their father. But apart from that, Jennifer Noren and the kids have been the lucky charm for the golfer. After their engagement in 2016, she was at the Omega European Masters, where the golfer recorded an exceptional performance with rounds of 69-63-66-65 to extend the rounds to playoffs with Scott Hend. Interestingly, it was the only playoff that the golfer has won till now.
