Nordic Golf League

The Nordic Golf League is one of the four PGA European Tour-recognised third-tier men's professional golf tours that are known as the Satellite Tours. The top five players on the rankings list at the end of each season earn a place on the second tier Challenge Tour for the following year.[1] For 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, other rules were decided for qualification for the 2021 Challenge Tour.

gollark: Zyus are annoying. Don't give them a bazillion views and they won't hatch, do and they'll get sick.
gollark: You either get zombōs or hatchlings or nothing, which is better than dead stuff.
gollark: There's a 1 per user limit.
