2007 PGA EuroPro Tour Schedule:
First 12 tournaments announced

THE PGA EuroPro Tour can confirm the first 12 tournaments for the 2007 season.
The PGA EuroPro Tour will return to action in April with the two-stage Sky Sports Qualifying School, giving ambitious young players the chance to win a Tour Card.
For the third successive year, Norfolk's Wensum Valley will host the opening tournament of the season, which will take place from 1-3 May.
A further 11 tournaments have now been confirmed, with more events to be added shortly.
The PGA EuroPro Tour season will once again finish with the Tour Championship, which will see the top 50 players in the Order of Merit competing.
Alongside Wensum Valley, the PGA EuroPro Tour will continue their established partnerships with Collingtree Park, Players Club, Maylands, Stoke-by-Nayland, Whittlebury Park and Ufford Park.
Following the staging of successful tournaments in 2006, the PGA EuroPro Tour will return to Bovey Castle and Stonebridge GC.
Waterford's Faithlegg GC will host the first ever PGA EuroPro Tour event in Ireland in May, with Surrey's Selsdon Park and De Vere Oulton Hall in Leeds also staging tournaments for the first time.
"This is shaping up to be an exciting year," said PGA EuroPro Tour Managaing Director Eddie Hearn.
"We have already seen record interest for the Sky Sports Qualifying School from players looking to follow in the footsteps of the stars of 2006 such as Matt Richardson and Kevin Harper.
"The success of so many rookies last year has given a greater incentive to the young professionals looking to make the breakthrough.
"Looking at the calendar, there will be many varying challenges for the players throughout the year at the different courses, some which they will know and others that they have not been used to as yet.
"We would like to pay tribute to all of the courses for the support that they are showing to developing the future stars of golf, and also our partners at Sky Sports who will be screening more coverage than ever before of the PGA EuroPro Tour."
