Michael Hirmer secured his European Challenge Tour card for 2023 after topping the Pro Golf Tour’s Order of Merit in 2022.
The German enjoyed a sensational season, which included victory at the Gradi Polish Open in June and five further top five finishes to climb into pole position on the Rankings, 221 points ahead of Frenchman Jean Bekirian.
20-year-old Bekirian secured two victories in 2022 at the Raiffeisen Pro Golf Tour St. Pölten in June, followed by the ALTEPRO Trophy by EXTEC in August on his way to securing Challenge Tour playing rights for 2023.
The duo will be joined on the 2023 Road to Mallorca by fellow Pro Golf Tour graduates Alan De Bondt of Belgium, German Jannik De Bruyn and Belgium’s Yente Van Doren.
De Bondt secured victory at the season opening Dreamland Pyramids Classic as he finished third on the Order of Merit, while De Bruyn triumphed at the Castanea Resort Championship, the Pro Golf Tour’s season finale, to finish fourth on the Rankings. Van Doren earned victory at the Red Sea Egyptian Classic as he finished fifth on the season long Rankings to claim the final Challenge Tour card.
