The Finnish Tour is a developmental professional golf tour based in Finland. In the past, similar to the Danish Golf Tour and the Swedish Golf Tour, most events on the Finnish Tour schedules were incorporated into the Nordic Golf League, one of the four third-tier tours recognized by the European Tour. However, most tournaments are now independent Finnish Tour events.
Many players from the Finnish Tour have progressed through the tour, eventually playing and winning on the European Tour. Notable players include Mikko Korhonen,[1] Kalle Samooja[2] and Sami Välimäki.[3]
The tour was founded in 2002 by the Finnish Golf Association and the PGA of Finland. The tour aims to offer Finland's best players (both male and female) the opportunity to compete against each other at a high level.[4]
In 2014, the tour signed a title-sponsor agreement with German car manufacturer Audi, becoming the Audi Finnish Tour.[5] The deal finished in 2016.
