Challenge Tour, schedule

The event will give away 250,000 euros (with the first coin of 40,000) and will also see five of the top ten finishers on the money list on the field. Starting with the Germans Freddy Schott (number 1) and Alexander Knappe (tenth), without forgetting the Norwegian Kristian Krogh Johannessen (seventh), the English Todd Clements (eighth) and the French Clément Sordet (ninth).

The Challenge Tour was the result of a collaboration between the French, Italian and Swedish PGA, opening their tournaments to foreign participants from 1986 onwards. The German PGA also participated from 1988. The Satellite Tour PTC Sub Committee was established and a ranking was established.

In 1989 the Challenge Tour was started under the name Satellite Tour. The Challenge Tour allows players to gain experience and qualify to participate in the European PGA Tour, which is the highest level in Europe. During the first season there were 26 tournaments: 5 in Spain, 13 in Sweden, 4 in Switzerland and 4 in Italy. Belgium organized a Pro-Am in Brussels and the Netherlands did not participate yet. Neil Briggs won the first tournament, the Tessali Open, and the Order of Merit in 1989.

The current name was introduced at the beginning of the 1990 season.

In 2009, the 20th season, the season started in Colombia, Kenya and Morocco, followed by 22 tournaments: 4 in France, 3 in Italy, 1 in Belgium, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Ireland, Kazakhstan, Netherlands, Austria, Poland, Scotland, Spain, Wales, Sweden and 2 in Switzerland. The number of tournaments had therefore not increased, but the geographical spread had. Edoardo Molinari won the Order of Merit with a record €242,979 in prize money.

In 2013, the 25th anniversary was commemorated. Brooks Koepka won three tournaments and was promoted to the European Tour in June.
