Alps Tour

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Alps Tour is a third level tournament series for professional golfers, which is supported and recognized by the national golf associations of France , Italy , Austria , Switzerland and Morocco . It is part of the Satellite Tour, which in addition to the Alps Tour also includes the EPD Tour , the Nordic League and the PGA Europro Tour. The tournament series, formerly known as "Third Level Tours", merged in April 2006 to form the Satellite Tour.

In the 2007 season, the Alps Tour Events will be held in the countries of the five associations. In 2007 there are around 22 tournaments with prize money of around € 1 million. A large part of the field of players comes from the participating countries. The first 5 of the tour ranking will receive a restricted eligibility to play for the Challenge Tour and also starting places for the second stage ( stage 2 ) of the 3-stage qualifying school , whereby a certain contingent will be kept ready for some other players who are classified immediately behind for stage 2 . Since this number can vary, precise information is deliberately omitted here and reference is made to the official website of the Alps Tour.
