Scouting report: Alex Noren

Everything below is derived from Alex's Drive for Five ratings — the same nine attributes that drive the game. Alex is rated 77 overall and plays as a Grinder.

Why these ratings

Alex Noren's profile is defined by iron play (80) — the standout number in the card. As a Grinder, Alex never gives a hole away cheaply — scrambling 78, focus 73. This is the profile that wears opponents down in singles and refuses to lose matches that drift.

Ryder Cup strengths

Alex's biggest weapons are Irons (80) — solid iron play; Driving (79) — solid driving distance; Accuracy (78) — solid driving accuracy. These are the attributes to lean on when picking sessions and pairings.

Weaknesses to manage

The softer spots in the card are Focus (73) and Short game (76). In match play these are the areas an opponent will target, and the reason pairing Alex with a complementary partner matters.

Best format

On the ratings, Alex's strongest session is the Fourballs. Better ball suits this card’s attacking numbers — free to chase birdies while a partner keeps a safe score in play.
