The top 45 players on the Road to Mallorca Rankings will tee off in Ranking order at Club de Golf Alcanada, while the final three rounds will be played in score order.

The first group out will be the trio of Ugo Coussaud, Laurie Canter and Carlos Pigem, who occupy 45th, 44th and 43rd place on the Rankings, respectively, at 8.30am local time.

As the field is drastically smaller than a usual event on the European Challenge Tour, all groups will tee off the first tee and two winners this season – Emilio Cuartero Blanco and Ross McGowan – will join Marcel Schneider in the second group of the day at 8.41am.

Bryce Easton, who made his World Golf Championships debut at the WGC-HSBC Champions last week in Shanghai, will play alongside Lorenzo Scalise and Steven Tiley at 9.25am at the picturesque Alcúdia venue.

The three men on the cusp of the top 15 – Wil Besseling, Ben Stow and Lars van Meijel – will attempt to break into the graduation spots from 10.09am, before the top 15 begin with Oliver Farr, Darius van Driel and Sebastian Garcia Rodriguez at 10.20am.

The next group, at 10.31am, have one victory apiece in 2019 with Turkish Airlines Challenge winner Connor Syme, Italian Challenge Open Eneos Motor Oil victor Matthew Jordan and Open de Bretagne champion Sebastian Heisele making up the three-ball.

After Cormac Sharvin, Ricardo Santos and Jack Senior tee off at 10.42am, three more winners in the shape of Adrian Meronk, Antoine Rozner and Robin Roussel get the penultimate group under way at 10.53am.

Then, the top three take to the tee. Road to Mallorca Number Three Richard Bland, Number Two Francesco Laporta and the current leader, Calum Hill, will tee off in the final group at 11.05am.
