The 2002 Challenge Tour was a series of golf tournaments known as the Challenge Tour, the official development tour run by the PGA European Tour. The tour was started as the Satellite Tour in 1986 and was renamed the Challenge Tour ready for the start of the 1990 season.[1]
For full rankings, see 2002 Challenge Tour graduates.
The rankings were based on prize money won during the season, calculated in Euros. The top 15 players on the tour earned status to play on the 2003 European Tour.
^A further one tournament was scheduled but was abandoned.
^The number in brackets after each winner's name is the number of Challenge Tour events they had won up to and including that tournament. This information is only shown for Challenge Tour members. It is rare for someone to accumulate many wins on the Challenge Tour as success at this level usually leads to promotion to the European Tour.
