Broberg began playing on the Challenge Tour in 2012. He won the second event he played in the Finnish Challenge on 5 August.[1] He won again the next week at the Norwegian Challenge.[2] Broberg won for a third time that month at the Rolex Trophy to earn an instant promotion to the European Tour; he was the fastest player ever to achieve this having played just five events in the season.[3] The victories helped Broberg shoot up the Official World Golf Ranking from 1,109th to 173rd.
