Englishmen George Bloor, Curtis Knipes and Rhys Thompson will all tee it up on the Challenge Tour next season after successfully graduating from their respective tours in 2023.
Bloor and Knipes both came through the Clutch Pro Tour season to finish in first and second on the Order of Merit, with Thompson securing his promotion as the Number One on the Tartan Pro Tour in Scotland.
Bloor played 17 events during the season, recording seven top tens in the process, including three in the final three events of the season to finish in top spot with 3,891 points, just 149 points clear of Knipes who will join him next season. Knipes won the penultimate event of the season to boost his chances alongside seven other top ten finishes in 2023.
Thompson earned the sole Challenge Tour card on offer on the Tartan Pro Tour by winning four times during 2023. His first win of the season came in the Dundonald Links Masters presented by Murray Capital before he added the Downfield Masters presented by Angus Soft Fruits then the Cardrona Classic presented by Cala Homes.
Thompson then triumphed at the season-ending Gleneagles Masters presented by Insights to cement his place at the top of the Rankings.
