The Challenge Tour is the second tier men's professional golf tour in Europe. It is operated by the PGA European Tour and, as with on the main European Tour and the European Seniors Tour, some of the events are played outside Europe. World ranking points are awarded for high finishes in Challenge Tour events. Most Challenge Tour events give 12 OWGR points to the winner, with those co-sanctioned by the European Tour earning 18 points. The Challenge Tour Grand Final gives 17 points to the winner.
In 2014, a number of events would receive slightly higher points totals, with three events earning a minimum of 13 points and the Challenge Tour Grand Final winner receiving 17 points, up from 16.
The tour was introduced in 1986 and was initially called the Satellite Tour. The Order of Merit was introduced in 1989, with the top five players on it winning membership of the European Tour for the following season. The following year the tour was renamed the Challenge Tour. Up to 1993 the Challenge Tour Rankings were based on each players' best several results, but since 1994 it has been a straightforward money list, with all results counting.
The 2006 Challenge Tour was a series of golf tournaments known as the Challenge Tour, the official development tour run by the PGA European Tour. The tour was started as the Satellite Tour in 1986 and was renamed the Challenge Tour ready for the start of the 1990 season.
The Challenge Tour Rankings was won by Wales' Mark Pilkington. Frenchman Adrien Mörk shot the first 59 in the history of the PGA European Tour's three tours at the Moroccan Classic.
Tournament schedule
The table below shows the 2006 Challenge Tour schedule. The season started in December 2005 and comprised 31 tournaments played in Europe, Latin America, East Africa and Central Asia.
The numbers in brackets after winners' names indicate the player's total number of wins on the Challenge Tour including that event.
Rankings
The top 20 on the Challenge Tour Rankings gained membership of the European Tour for the 2007 season.
The 2015 Challenge Tour was a series of professional golf tournaments collectively known as the Challenge Tour.
The Challenge Tour is Europe's official developmental tour and is organised by the PGA European Tour. It was introduced in 1986 and was originally called the Satellite Tour, before being renamed with its present title in 1990.
Tournament schedule
The 2015 schedule is set out below. The numbers in brackets after winners' names show the player's total number of wins on the Challenge Tour including that event. It is rare for someone to accumulate many wins on the Challenge Tour because success at this level soon leads to promotion to the European Tour.
The 2016 Challenge Tour is a series of professional golf tournaments collectively known as the Challenge Tour.

Ahead of the Genesis Scottish Open, we challenged every player in the field to try and hit a replica DP World shipping container with a stinger from 70 yards.
DP World, a global leader in smart logistics and title partner of the DP World Tour, are known for their accurate and precise supply chain solutions. On the 5th hole of the Renaissance Club, we put the accuracy and precision of the DP World Tour and PGA TOUR players in the field to the test with a target just 7 inches wide.
Elevated 6 feet from the ground, the target was also a test of the players’ ability to keep their ball-flight low, a skill they would need to perfect ahead of two weeks of golf on the windy Scottish coast.
