The Norwegian Golf Tour was a developmental professional golf tour based in Norway. In the past, similar to the Danish Golf Tour and the Swedish Golf Tour, most events on the Norwegian Golf Tour schedules were incorporated into the Nordic Golf League, one of the four third-tier tours recognized by the European Tour.

History

The tour was founded in 2004 by the Norwegian Golf Federation and the PGA of Norway. The tour aimed to offer a series of tournaments for elite-level golfers in Norway (both amateur and professional). The inaugural title sponsor of the tour was P4 Radio Hele Norge.[1]
