History
The tour was founded in 2002 as a joint venture by Dan Stage and the PGA of Denmark. The aim of the tour being to provide a new generation of golfers with optimal conditions for developing their game.[1] The inaugural season was in 2003 where the tour hosted ten tournaments, culminating in a total prize fund of DKr 1,500,000.[citation needed]
The tour originally signed a three-year agreement in 2002 with Danish-based shoe manufacturer ECCO who would be the inaugural title sponsor of the tour for the first three seasons.[1] The agreement was ceased in 2006 and Scanplan Ejendomme became the new title sponsor of the tour. This deal lasted until 2007, when ECCO was reinstated as the title sponsor for the 2008 season onwards.[2]
The Order of Merit has commonly been titled as the Race to HimmerLand, with the final event on the schedule in recent seasons being played at the HimmerLand Golf & Spa Resort (also host to the Made in HimmerLand event on the European Tour).[3][4]
