Tournament Schedule
The table below shows the 2007 Challenge Tour schedule. The season started in November 2006 and comprised 32 tournaments played in Europe, Latin America, East Africa and Central Asia.
The numbers in brackets after winners' names indicate the player's total number of wins on the Challenge Tour including that event. No-one accumulates many wins on the Challenge Tour because success at this level soon leads to promotion to the European Tour.
