The Asian Development Tour, founded in 2010, is a professional golf tour. It is the development tour for the Asian Tour. Players who fail to earn Asian Tour cards through qualifying school may play on the tour. Currently, the top ten players on the Order of Merit (money list) at the end of the year earn an Asian Tour card for the following season.{{cite web |url=http://asiandevelopmenttour.com/about-us/ |title=About Us – Asian Development Tour |access-date=5 November 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130823213356/http://asiandevelopmenttour.com/about-us/ |archive-date=23 August 2013}}
