What does the announcement entail you may ask. Well, the Tour is continuing their partnership with Mizuno, with its Miz Next Gen Series increasing to a two tier system with a minimum season payout of £1.8 million.

Tier 1 events will guarantee a purse of £60,000 per tournament, with three events boasting a £100,000 minimum, while tier 2 tournaments will then guarantee a purse of £30,000. 

Along with the events, Clutch Pro Tour will also be providing over 40 invites to Challenge Tour and DP World Tour tournaments, with its aim continuing to be developing up and coming talent.

We are driven by a passion to support our members and we look forward to welcoming golfers from across Europe to our tour in 2023.”
