Farr only made 10 cuts in 30 events on the 2015 European Tour, lost his card and returned to the Challenge Tour for 2016 where he finished 36th in the Order of Merit. In 2017 he had his second Challenge Tour win, the Foshan Open, and finished the season 10th in the Order of Merit, returning to the European Tour for 2018.
