Alex Noren ended a seven-year wait for his 11th DP World Tour title as he fought off Nicolai Højgaard and a charging Kazuma Kobori to win the Betfred British Masters hosted by Sir Nick Faldo by one shot.

Here’s the prize money breakdown for each golfer at the 2025 Betfred British Masters

Noren, who also won this event in 2016, started the day one shot off the lead but took over at the top early in his final round before getting locked in a battle for the title with Dane Højgaard.

New Zealander Kobori stormed into contention late on with an eagle and four birdies in his final six holes to set the clubhouse target at 15 under par.

But Swede Noren produced a big finish of his own, picking up birdies at the 15th, 16th and 17th to take a two-shot lead to the 18th tee.

He suffered a late scare as an errant tee-shot at the last cost him a shot there but he finished the week on 16 under to return to the winner’s circle for the first time since the 2018 Open de France.

Kobori and Højgaard finished in a tie for second, with Japan’s Keita Nakajima and Andy Sullivan of England rounding out the top five at 13 under and 12 under respectively.

Højgaard’s twin brother Rasmus became the sixth and final player to automatically qualify for the European Ryder Cup Team after finishing in a tie for 13th on eight under.

A total of £168,000 was raised for tournament charity Guide Dogs across the week. Betfred donated £500 every time a player drove the green on the iconic 10th hole and for any eagle or better scored across the course. Ben Schmidt’s hole in one on the 14th hole during the first round resulted in a £50,000 donation, and there were further donations via the Long Putt Challenge in the PGA Village and the Drive the 10th Simulator by Nexo.
