The Alps Tour is a developmental professional golf tour for men which is sanctioned by the national golf associations of France, Italy, Austria and Switzerland.
History
[edit | edit source]Established in 2001, 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.[1] Other third level tours in Europe include the United Kingdom-based Tartan Pro Tour and Clutch Pro Tour, the Germany-based Pro Golf Tour, and the Nordic League in the Nordic countries. Beginning in July 2015, the four third-level tours will carry Official World Golf Ranking points.[2]
Like the other third-tier European tours, the top ten players on the Order of Merit are exempt through the second stage of European Tour Qualifying School and the top five non-exempt players earn Challenge Tour cards.
Alumni who have gone on to win on the European Tour include Marco Crespi, Guido Migliozzi,[3] Chris Paisley,[4] Julien Quesne and Matt Wallace.[5]
