[edit]Notes
[edit]- ^ The number in brackets after each winner's name is the number of Nordic Golf League events they had won up to and including that tournament. It is rare for someone to accumulate many wins on the Nordic Golf League as success at this level usually leads to promotion to the Challenge Tour.
- ^ a b Despite finishing outside the top five on the Order of Merit; Svendsen also earned promotion to the Challenge Tour by winning three times during the 2024 Nordic Golf League season.[6]
