HotelPlanner Tour: Rolex Grand Final in Mallorca
While the international golf calendar slows down in autumn, the HotelPlanner Tour is heating up with its season finale this weekend. The Rolex Grand Final, supported by The R&A, takes place at Club de Golf Alcanada on the Spanish island of Mallorca. The top players from the Road to Mallorca rankings will compete in Port d’Alcúdia for a share of the €500,000 prize fund and one of 20 coveted DP World Tour cards. Austrian Maximilian Steinlechner, currently second in the rankings, is a strong contender. Fellow Austrian Lukas Nemecz, who narrowly missed promotion last year, sits 19th, while Germany’s Anton Albers is just outside the top 20 at 21st, still in striking distance of a DP World Tour spot.
