The European Golf Association (EGA) has confirmed the final set of rewards that will be available as part of the 2026 European Amateur Order of Merit (EAOM). Details for the men’s and women’s Final Sprint events and overall Final Ranking rewards are now released.

Following the Front-Nine and Back-Nine phases, the Final Sprint will bring the 2026 EAOM season to a decisive conclusion, offering leading players further opportunities to earn important ranking points and compete for valuable playing opportunities on Europe’s professional tours. The late-season series is a new addition to the international calendar and aims to improve the number of elite competitive events for players based in Europe.

The EAOM, launched earlier this year, has been developed by the EGA in coordination with its member federations to strengthen the European elite amateur golf calendar by increasing the visibility and value of its leading championships. The initiative aims to recognise and reward consistent performance across the season, provide attractive playing opportunities, and create pathways for Europe’s top amateur players into elite amateur events and professional golf.

FINAL SPRINT OPPORTUNITIES FOR MEN

The men’s Final Sprint will begin in August with the Finnish International Amateur Championship (Erkko Trophy) and conclude in September with the newly reintroduced Swedish International Men’s Amateur Championship.

Across the final four events of the season, winners will be rewarded with playing opportunities on the HotelPlanner Tour and DP World Tour.

FINAL SPRINT OPPORTUNITIES FOR WOMEN

The women’s Final Sprint will feature three events, beginning with the Swiss International Women’s Amateur Championship in August and concluding with the French International Women’s Amateur Championship (Cécile de Rothschild) in September.

Event winners will earn opportunities to compete on the LET Access Series, continuing the pathway created through the EAOM between elite amateur golf and the professional women's game with direct support from the Ladies' European Tour.

FINAL RANKING REWARDS

In addition to rewards available to individual event winners, the leading players in the final men’s and women’s EAOM standings will receive further professional playing opportunities.

The Final Ranking rewards recognise season-long consistency across the full 2026 EAOM schedule, with the top-ranked players earning invitations to compete on Europe’s leading professional tours.

Men’s Final Ranking Rewards

Women’s Final Ranking Rewards

All rewards remain under the ownership of the respective national golf federation, event organiser, or promoter,  in coordination with the EGA and are subject to players’ status as amateur golfers.

The confirmation of the Final Sprint and Final Ranking rewards completes the full package of playing opportunities available during the 2026 EAOM pilot season. Across the men’s and women’s series, the EAOM has provided a significant number of exemptions and invitations into leading amateur championships and professional events, rewarding both individual victories and consistent performance throughout the season.
