The Rolex Challenge Tour Grand Final supported by The R&A takes place this week at Club de Golf Alcanada. With 20 DP World Tour cards on offer, we’ve taken a deep dive into some of the key numbers ahead of the week…
500,000 - Total prize fund for the Rolex Challenge Tour Grand Final. With €500,000 to play for, it marks one of the largest prize pots of the 2024 Road to Mallorca season.
640 - Points on offer to the winner at Club de Golf Alcanada. This is comfortably the biggest points total all season, and it gives every player in the field a realistic chance of promotion.
20 - There are 20 DP World Tour cards on offer, but interestingly, the 20th and final of those cards will go to the person 22nd in the Rankings. South African Robin Williams, and Dane Rasmus Neergaard-Petersen, will both finish the year inside the top 20, but with both players earning a better category for next year due to their performances through 2024 on the DP World Tour, their cards will go to the 21st and 22nd player in the Rankings. German Nicolai von Dellingshausen currently occupies the 22nd and final promotion place.
45 - Players in the field in Mallorca. These are the leading players from the 2024 Road to Mallorca season. John Axelsen from Denmark is the last man in the field.
4 – Number of times Club de Golf Alcanada has played host. This week marks the fourth occasion the Alcúdia course has hosted the Challenge Tour’s season finale. It was five years ago, back in 2019, that it was the venue for the first time, with Italian Francesco Laporta coming out on top. It returned to the schedule in 2022 where Nathan Kimsey triumphed, and in 2023 it was Marco Penge who scooped the Road to Mallorca Number One spot with a dominant win.
17 – Different nationalities in the field; Australia, Denmark, England, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Northern Ireland, Norway, Scotland, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Wales and Zimbabwe
9 – Players that could end the season as the Road to Mallorca Number One. With 640 points on offer to the winner, Spaniard Joel Moscatel, who sits ninth in the Rankings, is the lowest-ranked player who could win the Road to Mallorca Rankings but would need to win the Rolex Challenge Tour Grand Final and, among other results, require current Number One, John Parry, to finish 45th.
1 – Road to Mallorca champion.
