The HotelPlanner Tour season is coming to a close with the Grand Final, which will be played in Mallorca and broadcast live on Sky Sports. The tournament features a field of 45 golfers, including past Ryder Cup players, previous tournament winners, and ex-LIV golfers, all competing for promotion to the DP World Tour.
This year’s event marks the 31st time the HotelPlanner Tour Grand Final has been played and will conclude the DP World Tour feeder circuit’s 28-event season. It will also bring an end to the HotelPlanner Tour’s points competition, the Road to Mallorca Rankings.
The top 45 golfers in the Road to Mallorca standings will participate in the Grand Final, with the top 15 players at the end of the tournament earning a DP World Tour card for next season. James Morrison won the event in 2025, while JC Ritchie topped the Road to Mallorca Rankings.
