Alex Noren turned professional in 2005 and, since that moment, has registered 10 victories on the DP World Tour, including its flagship tournament at the 2017 BMW PGA Championship.

In fact, that victory came in the same year he married his long-term partner Jennifer Kovacs, with the pair tying the knot in September 2017.

Kovacs was born in Stockholm and studied at Stockholm University, graduating with a Bachelor’s Degree in Business, Management and Marketing.

After university, Kovacs worked as a marketing assistant at Abbot, which is a hospital & health care company in her birthplace of Stockholm.

Although unclear if she still works with the hospital & health care company, Kovacs has run a podcast called OPodden, which is a series that interviews successful Swedish women.

Together, the couple have two children, a daughter called Iris and a son called Roy.

What's more, the family have been spotted at numerous tournaments, including Noren’s victory at the British Masters, Open de France, as well as the Masters Par 3 contest.

At the start of 2025, Noren suffered with a muscle injury that sidelined him for numerous months. During that time, he was able to coach his daughter's softball team.

Speaking at the 2025 PGA Championship, the Swede stated: "The only thing is that it was a lot easier to have this break when I'm 42 than when I was younger.

"It was just my tendon in my hamstring on the sit bone. It's a bad injury but you can still live a quite normal life because you have two other tendons that support it. But I couldn't swing a club. I couldn't jump or run. I could walk kind of slowly and live a normal life. I could coach my kids. I spent a lot of time with the family. It's been quite nice."
