Alex Noren
BMW PGA Championship winner Alex Noren reacts to injury replacement Ryder Cup question
Sweden's Alex Noren claimed the 2025 BMW PGA Championship after prevailing in a tense play-off over Frenchman Adrien Saddier at Wentworth.
Alex Noren says he'll be taking his clubs to America after winning the BMW PGA Championship - but only because he needs to take them home to Florida.
The Swede won the DP World Tour's flagship event for the second time in his career on Sunday at a soggy Wentworth.
Sweden's Noren, 43, finished on 19-under par alongside Frenchman Adrien Saddier.
The 43-year-old came up trumps on the first play-off hole, chipping close for a gimme birdie whilst Saddier could only manage a par.
Noren last won the BMW PGA Championship in 2017.
He told Sky Sports Golf he'll be taking his clubs to the United States next week ahead of Europe's reconnaissance trip, but only because he needs to take them home.
Other players are more deserving of the opportunity to play, he said, and it's unlikely he'll be called up to play in the event one of the dozen gets injured.
"I'll take my clubs this time but take it home to Florida," Noren said.
"I think the other guys have played better than me throughout the year.
"I've had a great result now the last month but it came a little bit too late.
"I think the guys on the team is going to be fantastic.
"I'm really looking forward to that match more than, I don't know, in a long time."
Noren has been named as one of Luke Donald's five vice-captains for the 2025 matches.
Elsewhere, Tyrrell Hatton, Patrick Reed, Viktor Hovland and Matthew Fitzpatrick finished inside the top-10.
Jon Rahm finished 13th on 13-under, while Masters champion Rory McIlroy shot a final-round 65 to finish among a group of five that finished on 12-under.
