The Progress Tour was set up in 2017 to give aspiring British players more earning opportunity on home soil. Since its inception, the tour has seen over 3,000 players take part in over 10,000 level-based and progressive matches, and paid out over £1.3m in prize money, all of which has been independently sourced, and privately funded.
 
The motivation for the tour stems from a belief that the competitive structure in the UK under provides for our aspiring players; and that there is a lack of legitimate opportunity for players to earn prize money and player support in the UK; all of which, is to the detriment of the the broader health of the British game.​​​
