2024 Challenge Tour graduates
__NOTOC__
This is a list of players who graduated from the Challenge Tour in 2024.{{cite web|url=https://www.europeantour.com/challenge-tour/rankings/overview/rankings/ |title=Challenge Tour rankings|publisher=PGA European Tour|accessdate=3 November 2024}}
Both Rasmus Neergaard-Petersen and John Parry earned immediate promotion to the European Tour during the 2024 season by winning three times on the Challenge Tour. Neergaard-Petersen finished 105th on the Race to Dubai, obtaining a higher exemption category for the 2025 European Tour season than he had from his Challenge Tour ranking; Robin Williams, who finished 14th in the Challenge Tour rankings, similarly obtained a higher exemption category through his European Tour performance as a non-member. Because of this, Neergaard-Petersen and Williams did not count against the 20 Challenge Tour graduates, and the players who finished 21st and 22nd in the rankings were given European Tour cards.{{cite web |title=Rolex Challenge Tour Grand Final by numbers |url=https://www.europeantour.com/challenge-tour/news/articles/detail/rolex-challenge-tour-grand-final-by-numbers-x6550/ |publisher=PGA European Tour |date=28 October 2024 |access-date=3 November 2024}}
Andreas Halvorsen, who finished 27th in points with a total of 645 despite playing in only 13 of the 29 events, was given a medical extension of six Challenge Tour starts in 2025 to earn 40 points and a promotion to the European Tour for the remainder of its 2025 season. He reached the goal in his third start, on 16 March 2025.{{cite web |title=Halvorsen secures promotion to DP World Tour |url=https://www.europeantour.com/hotelplanner-tour/news/articles/detail/halvorsen-secures-promotion-to-dp-world-tour/ |publisher=PGA European Tour |date=17 March 2025 |access-date=4 July 2025}}
