2015 PGA EuroPro Tour

The 2015 PGA EuroPro Tour was the 14th season of the PGA EuroPro Tour, one of four third-tier tours recognised by the European Tour. In July, it was announced that all EuroPro Tour events, beginning with The Wealth Design Invitational, would receive Official World Golf Ranking points at the minimum level of 4 points for a winner of a 54-hole event and 6 points for a winner of a 72-hole event.[1]

Schedule

The season consisted of 16 events.[2] Except for the Matchroom Sport Tour Championship in Spain, all tournaments were held in Great Britain.

Fourteen events had a minimum prize fund of £46,735, which increased depending on how many players made the cut; any unused prize money from the £50,000 maximum was added to the prize fund for the Matchroom Sport Tour Championship.[3] The Clipper Logistics Players Championship, the only 72-hole tournament, had a maximum of £60,000. The Matchroom Sport Tour Championship's prize fund began at £60,000 and topped out at £87,550.
