Alex Noren had a stellar 2025 which saw him return to the sort of form that helped him to claim a Ryder Cup spot in 2018. His good spell of form included him picking up his second British Masters victory after pipping Nicolai Hojgaard to the title.

The Swede first won the title in 2016 and a final round of 67 was enough to hold off the young Norwegian last season to claim a one shot victory.

He then won the BMW PGA Championship a month later. This was Noren’s 11th and 12th win respectively on the European Tour. It helped end a 7-year drought on the DP World Tour, where he won he last tasted victory the French Open at Le Golf National in 2018.

The 43-year-old is very much a seasoned professional now and has had a glittering career which includes a Ryder Cup appearance for Team Europe in 2018. He helped his side defeat the USA in Paris, 17 1/2 to 10 1/2.

Noren is a Callaway staffer, with his full bag consisting of the brand. He has played with Callaway clubs for a number of years now, but has made a few changes and tweaks for the 2026 season. Let’s take a closer look at the clubs Noren used on his way to victory at The Belfry…

A look inside Alex Noren’s bag

After an extremely solid season in 2025, Noren has chosen to keep the majority of his bag unchanged for this year. He continues to use the Callaway Paradym Ai Smoke Max D driver in his bag, a surprising move that has seen him hold off on the newer Elyte and Quantum ranges. His driver is set at 9° of loft, which is fairly standard for most tour players.

To complete the top end of his bag, the Swede plays with either one or two fairway woods depending on the week/course. He uses a Callaway Paradym Ai Smoke TD 3-wood and a Callaway Prototype 5-wood in rotation. Noren opts to play fairway woods over longer irons or even a mini driver, which have become increasingly popular.

His irons consist of a full set of the newer Callaway Apex TCB irons. From a 4-iron to a pitching wedge, Noren uses the same type of Callaway irons which sways from the norm of tour players using split sets.

New for 2025 are the Callaway Opus SP wedges, which Noren has put straight into his bag. He carries four versions of these wedges, a 46°, 50°, 56° and 60°.

His putter of choice is an Odyssey O-Works 1W and 12-time European Tour winner opts for the Callaway Chrome Tour golf ball.

About the author

Max Mcvittie

A bit of a late bloomer to the game of golf, Max fell in love with the sport when he attended Saturday coaching sessions down at his local golf club after being inspired by friends and family members.

Max has remained a member of Eden Golf Club in Carlisle for a number of years now as he looks to get his handicap down into single figures. Most of his golfing career has been spent battling a permanent slice off the tee, which has led to some ugly rounds.

Having studied at the University of Sunderland, Max is starting out his dream career in sports journalism. During his time at university, he picked up valuable work experience at Reach PLC, BBC Radio Cumbria and GiveMeSport, whilst also getting work published in the Teesside Live. He also spent time working at a local weekly newspaper, Eskdale and Liddesdale Advertiser, as a general news reporter partially covering some local sport just north of the border in Langholm.

Max has just started his journey with the NCG working as the assistant equipment editor. He looks forwarded to reviewing the latest golf equipment, taking up an interest in reviews when buying his first golf club, a Cleveland RTX wedge.

With his bag not going under too many changes throughout the last few years, Max carries an M3 driver, Titleist GT3 Fairway Wood, M2 hybrid, a set of M2 irons, Callaway Jaws wedges and a TaylorMade Spider putter. And yes, Max is a bit of a self-proclaimed TaylorMade fan boy.
