Benjamin Kedochim will tee it up on the 2025 Road to Mallorca as one of five Alps Tour graduates after topping the 2024 Order of Merit.
The Frenchman will be joined on the Challenge Tour next season by fellow Alps Tour graduates Enrico di Nitto from Italy, American Brandon Kewalramani, Frenchman Damien Perrier and Vince van Veen from the Netherlands.
Kedochim recorded eight top ten finishes in just 15 starts to reach 28,118 points to top the Order of Merit by more than 2,000 points and secure a first full season on the Challenge Tour in 2025.
A second-place finish in the Alps de Roquetas de Mar in May saw Kedochim climb to the summit of the Order of Merit for the first time, before he added three more second place finishes in the final five events of the season to make sure of his place at the top.
De Nitto returns to the Challenge Tour with full playing privileges for the first time in two years after ending the season in second place on the Order of Merit with 25,795 points.
The 31-year-old entered the Alps Tour Grand Final holding the final promotion place before winning the season finale to climb three places and guarantee graduation.
Kewalramani won twice on his way to a third-place finish in the season-long Order of Merit to ensure a debut season on the Challenge Tour will follow next year.
The American ended the year on 23,495 points, claiming two wins in three starts during the summer – in the Alps de Roquetas de Mar and Alps de Andalucia – to all-but guarantee promotion by the end of July.
Frenchman Perrier (20,800 points) found form at the end of the year to jump into the promotion places, with a win at the Longwy Alps Open and a second-place finish in the Alps Tour Grand Final enough to make sure of his return to the Challenge Tour.
Vince van Veen (20,555 points) - who shot a magical 59 at DP World Tour Final Stage Qualifying School last month - grabbed the final graduation place thanks to six top ten finishes in his last ten starts of the season.
