He earned promotion to the European Tour for 2022 after finishing 16th on the 2021 Challenge Tour's Road to Mallorca Rankings, following a performance at the Challenge Tour Grand Final that pushed him up from 21st position into the graduating ranks.[5]
In his rookie season on the European Tour, Nørgaard recorded top-10 finishes at the Porsche European Open, the Volvo Car Scandinavian Mixed and the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship, where he tied for 7th.[5]
