- ^ The number in brackets after each winner's name is the number of Challenge Tour events he had won up to and including that tournament. This information is only shown for Challenge Tour members. It is rare for someone to accumulate many wins on the Challenge Tour because success at this level soon leads to promotion to the European Tour.
- ^ EUR − European Tour.
- ^ Broberg earned immediate promotion to the European Tour, as this was his third win of the season.
