2012 Challenge Tour
The 2012 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.[1]

gollark: So what's *not* banned, then?
gollark: I have something like 25000 comment karma and only 700 post karma.
