Alps Tour - 2 reference results
The Alps Tour is a developmental professional golf tour for men which is sanctioned by the national golf associations of France, Italy, Austria, Switzerland and Morocco. It is a third level tour, the highest level of men's golf in Europe being the European Tour, and the second level being the Challenge Tour. Other third level tours in Europe include the United Kingdom based PGA EuroPro Tour and the German based EPD Tour.
2007 Alps Tour events are scheduled to take place in the home countries of the five sanctioning countries. There are around twenty events a season and the total prize money for 2006 is expected to be a little under one million Euros. Most of the players come from the tournament hosting countries. The top players on the Order of Merit win places at the European Tour Stage 2 Qualifying School (there are 3 stages), and the top 5 win limited playing privileges on the Challenge Tour.
