Albin Tidén tops the Order of Merit – strong start to the Nordic League 2026
Albin Tidén leads the Order of Merit after an impressive pre-season with victories in Spain and Poland.
The 2026 Nordic League has barely begun – but one player has already set the tone. Albin Tidén tops the Order of Merit after a strong pre-season where he has taken home victories in both Spain and Poland.
The Order of Merit is the official ranking where players accumulate points based on their performance throughout the season. Being ranked first early on doesn't just mean a head start – it also signals form, consistency and a player who is ready to challenge seriously.
Two victories – a clear statement
Winning a race requires precision, focus and timing. Winning two – before the season has even really kicked off – shows that Albin Tidén has been in top form from the start.
"I have worked quite hard on different parts of the game and it is motivating to get good acknowledgement that the plan I have had has yielded good results, while at the same time it gives good motivation going forward to try to develop myself as a golfer and person even more."
What does it mean to lead the Order of Merit?
Topping the Order of Merit in the Nordic League means you are one of the most consistent players on the tour. Points accumulate over time, making both top results and consistency play a crucial role.
For many players, the goal is to advance further in the tour system, and a strong ranking is often crucial to taking the next step in their career.
Strong confidence for the rest of the season
"It's great to have such good results so early in the year and it gives me motivation to continue working in the same direction."
From design to top-level performance
Behind the success there is also a personal detail – Albin plays in a golf glove he himself helped design together with Golfvante.
What was it like to be involved in designing your own golf glove – and then perform at the top level with it on your hand?
"When the suggestion came from Golfvante that I get the opportunity to design my own glove, I thought it was a fun thing. Partly to be able to use my creative side but also to have my name on a product I'm incredibly happy with is really cool."
What is required of an elite-level golf glove?
What is the most important thing to you in a golf glove when you compete at this level?
"Fit and good grip, that has always been the priority and we have managed to achieve that in this glove I use."
Three words to describe the glove
If you were to describe your custom-designed golf glove in three words – which ones would you choose?
