The 1996 Swedish Golf Tour, titled as the 1996 Telia Infomedia Golf Tour for sponsorship reasons, was the 13th season of the Swedish Golf Tour, the main professional golf tour in Sweden since it was formed in 1984, with most tournaments being incorporated into the Challenge Tour between 1989 and 1998.
In December 1995, it was announced that the tour had signed a title sponsorship agreement with Telia Company, being renamed as the Telia Infomedia Golf Tour.[1]
