Road to Mallorca 2024 – Master class Golf Challenge Tour
This year the Golf Challenge Tour will take place on three continents, in 18 different countries with at least 29 tournaments and with a record total prize money of 8,200,000 euros.
Start of the Tour
The tour begins in February with the Bain’s Whisky Cape Town Open, the first of four events co-hosted with the Sunshine Tour in South Africa.
This will be followed by a further 27 tournaments around the world until the climax and, at the same time, the conclusion of the 2023 season – which will take place from November 2 to 5 at the exclusive Club de Golf Alcanada in Mallorca.
Road to Mallorca Grand Final Tour is supported and made possible by the R&A and Rolex, with the top 45 ranked players competing for one of 20 coveted DP World Tour cards. This chance to climb into the top 20 if the players win the tournament has led to the setting of exciting moments time and time again in recent years.
Historical background of the tour
The European Challenge Tour was first established in 1989. The first winner of the Challenge Tour ranking was Englishman Neal Briggs. Since that first season, many of the world’s best players have competed on the Challenge Tour, which is now considered Europe’s top developmental tour: Thomas Bjørn (1995), Justin Rose (1999), Ian Poulter (1999), Henrik Stenson (2000), Louis Oosthuizen (2003), Tommy Fleetwood (2011) and Brooks Koepka (2013), are all former Challenge Tour players.
The top 20 finishers in the “Road to Mallorca” at the end of the season all earn promotion to the European Tour. The winner of the “Road to Mallorca Rankings” will receive a Silver Salver (first awarded in 2009) and membership in Category 13 of the European Tour.
