Notes

[edit]
  1. ^ The number in brackets after each winner's name is the number of Alps Tour events they had won up to and including that tournament. It is rare for someone to accumulate many wins on the Alps Tour as success at this level usually leads to promotion to the Challenge Tour.
  2. ^ LETAS − LET Access Series.
  3. ^ Mixed event
