[edit]Notes
[edit]- ^ The number in brackets after each winner's name is the number of Nordic Golf League events they had won up to and including that tournament. It is rare for someone to accumulate many wins on the Nordic Golf League as success at this level usually leads to promotion to the Challenge Tour.
- ^ Title shared after the tournament ended after the third playoff hole due to unsafe weather conditions.[2] Christensen and Kristjánsson tied for the lowest score and split the assigned points for first and second places, each earning 3.2 points.[3][4]
- ^ a b Despite finishing outside the top five on the Order of Merit; Kristjánsson also earned promotion to the Challenge Tour by winning three times during the 2019 Nordic Golf League season.[7]
