The Nordic Golf League is one of the third-tier men's professional golf tours, recognised by the European Tour, also known as the Satellite Tours. The top five players on the Order of Merit at the end of each season earn status to play on the second tier Challenge Tour for the following season. [1]
The tour is based in Scandinavia, and incorporates tournaments from the national tours of Denmark, Finland, and Sweden. In years past, the Nordic Golf League incorporated tournaments from the now defunct Norwegian Golf Tour.
Since July 2015, Nordic Golf League tournaments have carried Official World Golf Ranking points. [2]
Nordic Golf League competitors who went on to win on the European Tour include Lucas Bjerregaard, Alexander Björk, Kristoffer Broberg, Rikard Karlberg, Mikko Korhonen, Morten Ørum Madsen, Christian Nilsson, and Thorbjørn Olesen.
