The SGT is on the fourth level of international golf tours, below the Ladies' European Tour (LET), the LET Access Series (LETAS) and the Ladies' Nordic Golf Tour.[1]

For 2020, the SGT includes five separate scheduled tournaments in Sweden. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2020 schedule, as for all tours, has been subject to change.[2] The Swedish Golf Federation and the Swedish PGA decided on June 2, that the 2020 tour will restart. First tournament in Sweden on the Nordic Golf Tour and LETAS after the break is GolfUppsala Open on July 23-25 and first SGT tournament is Johannesberg Open on September 8-9.[3]

The SGT for women was named the Lancome Tour 1991–1994, the Telia Infomedia Golf Tour 1995–1997, the Telia Tour 1998–2008, the SAS Masters Tour 2008–2009, the Nordea Tour 2010–2016 and the Swedish Golf Tour 2017–.[4]

The Swedish Golf Tour for men is run by the same organization and is from 2020 named the MoreGolf Mastercard Tour.
