European Tour Order of Merit
The PGA European tour is a business which manages the three most relevant men’s professional golf tours in Europe and these are: the elite European Tour, the European Seniors Tours and the developmental Challenge Tour.
It is based in Virginal Water, Surrey, England. The most important golf tour in Europe is the European Tour and it is the second of importance and prestige in the US after the PGA TOUR. The European tour was created by the British Golfers’ Association.
This tour’s most important events are held in Europe but in recent years an increasing number have been held in other parts of the world outside of North America.
There is no doubt that the European Tour is the second tour in men’s golf behind the PGA Tour.
