Where is the Grand Final played?

Club de Golf Alcanada, situated on Mallorca's south-east coast, has hosted the HotelPlanner Tour Grand Final for the past five years and is set to stage the 2026 showpiece once again.

What's at stake?

At the end of the tournament, the top 15 players in the Road to Mallorca standings will be awarded a DP World Tour card for next season.

And we're set for a thrilling finale, with every player in the 45-man field able to earn promotion to the DP World Tour.

Four-thousand Road to Mallorca Rankings Points are up for grabs, with the winner of the Grand Final awarded 640 points. Second place will claim 440 points and third will secure 280 points.

American Alex Goff is the lowest-ranked player in the field on 447.30 points. Meanwhile, England's Matthew Southgate sits in the final DP World Tour qualifying spot. The pair are separated by 243.55 points, meaning Goff could jump into the top 15 with a win.
