Since 1994 he is a permanent member of the European Tour, with the exception of the 1999 season, he had to spend on the Challenge Tour.

Also on the North American tournament series he could not establish itself. After that, Fasth concentrated again on the European tournament scene and reached number 10 in 2001 with his best ranking on the European Tour Order of Merit, not least thanks to a second place finish in the Open Championship behind David Duval. Followed in 2005 by another great season with two tournament successes and a 13th place in the money list. In the golf world rankings, he advanced into the top 40. In the 2006 season he won the prestigious Open de Espana at the Mallorca Classic and he managed another victory on Spanish soil.
