25 PER CENT INCREASE FOR 2015 SEASON

 PGA EUROPRO TOUR PRIZE FUNDS 

INCREASE TO £50,000 PER EVENT

NEWS RELEASE

The HotelPlanner.com PGA EuroPro Tour is delighted to announce the prize fund for every regular event will increase by 25% to £50,000 ahead of the 2015 season on Europe’s leading developmental golf tour.

With 15 events plus a season-ending Tour Championship for the top 60 players, the total prize money available across the 2015 season will now stand at over £800,000.

The winner’s prize will remain at £10,000 and every player who finishes inside the top ten (excluding ties) will earn at least £1,000.

Based on 50 players making the cut, the minimum prize fund for every tournament is £46,735. This will increase in line with the number of ties who also make the 36-hole cut, and any surplus from £50,000 will be added to the prize fund for Tour Championship, which will begin at £60,000.

The HotelPlanner.com PGA EuroPro Tour is Europe’s leading development tour, and the European Tour’s satellite in the UK and Ireland.  

The Tour offers direct access to the Challenge Tour through the final Order of Merit, with the top five golfers at the end of the season to be awarded a category on the 2016 Challenge Tour.

Qualifying School for the tour is open to all professional golfers and amateurs with a handicap of two or better and allows players the opportunity to earn a category for the 2015 season.
