What is Road To Mallorca?
Road To Mallorca is the name of the Challenge Tour, the second tier of European golf. The circuit consists of 30 tournaments in 19 countries, with a wide variety of venues and playing conditions.
Mallorca hosts the final tournament of the Challenge Tour season, hence the name Road To Mallorca, which brings together the top 45 players in the ranking to play for promotion to the DP World Tour and the Challenge Tour title. The winner will also receive a cheque, a Silver Salver, and the honour of having his name inscribed on the circuit’s winners’ list alongside the likes of Thomas Bjorn, Ian Poulter, Rasmus Hogjaard and Tommy Fleetwood.
Road To Mallorca is supported by Mallorca Golf Island, the initiative that brings together a selection of high quality golf courses on the island of Mallorca.
