Alexander Bjork

Recorded runner-up finishes last season at both the Ras Al Khaimah Championship and Omega European Masters, where fellow Swede Ludvig Aberg denied him his second DP World Tour victory.

He first arrived at the 2018 Volvo China Open, a closing 65 lifting him into the world’s top 100 for the first time.

Made his Open debut in his rookie season in 2017, finishing joint third at the HNA French Open to claim one of the places on offer as part of the Qualifying Series.

Has three other second place finishes, including the 2021 DP World Tour Championship in Dubai.

That performance took him to 12th on the final "Race to Dubai" standings, but with nine top-10 finishes in all last season, he improved one place on that.

First hit the headlines in 2012 when he listed himself in Trade in Sports, funding the launch of his professional career by pledging 10% of winnings to those who invested in him.

Was a highly-promising tennis player in his youth, being ranked among Sweden’s top 10 juniors before deciding that golf was his future.
