The final event of the Road to Mallorca season, the Rolex Challenge Tour Grand Final, is happening at Club de Golf Alcanada in Spain.
Only 45 out of the top 46 players are competing because Robin Williams from South Africa isn’t playing. But with Rasmus Neergsard-Petersen joining last minute, there are now 46 players in total, including those ranked 46th and 47th.
Players will battle for a share of €500,000, with the winner grabbing €85,000. But more importantly, they have a shot at one of the 20 DP World Tour cards for the 2025 season . These cards can change lives as they open doors to bigger tournaments with huge prize pools. The entire Challenge Tour had €8 million in prizes this year, but next year’s DP World Tour offers $148.5 million (about €137 million). Fans might think this is a golden opportunity for these golfers.
Challenge Tour Grand Final Payout:
The prize money breakdown is as follows:
– 1st place: €85,000
– 2nd place: €54,000
– 3rd place: €34,000
– And so on…
Notable Players Chasing DP World Tour Cards:
Williams already secured his card through other means and won’t compete here. Neegaard-Petersen also has his card but will play anyway. If they stay in the top 20 rankings by the end of this tournament, then whoever finishes in 22nd place will get a DP World Tour card.
There are still plenty of points up for grabs—640 Race to Mallorca points for the winner—which means even Joel Moscatel from Spain who’s currently ninth could finish first overall!
John Parry leads right now while Hamish Brown from Denmark has two wins under his belt. Conor Purcell from Ireland sits fourth; Joakim Lagergren from Sweden has one win on tour; Oliver Lindell from Finland just had seven straight top-10 finishes and ranks fifth.
English players like Jack Senior and Brandon Robinson Thompson are among those fighting for their spot too along with Lucas Bjerregaard who shone at Denmark’s championship earlier this year.
Nicolai von Dellinghausen holds onto that crucial final position needed for securing a card while Jamie Rutherford trails close behind him alongside Euan Walker and Wilco Nienaber.
Justin Walters stands at risk being ranked last among them all needing an exceptional performance since he’s quite far back point-wise compared to others ahead like Von Dellingshausen who could still secure themselves comfortably if they perform well enough during these rounds!
What do you think about these chances?
