Challenge Tour Grand Final Prize Money Payout 2024
There’s an attractive purse on offer at the conclusion of the Road to Mallorca, but for the 46 in the field, there’s also the chance to earn a coveted DP World Tour card
The Rolex Challenge Tour Grand Final marks the conclusion of the season-long Road to Mallorca, with the action coming from Club de Golf Alcanada on the Spanish island.
There, all but one of the top 45 players in the Road to Mallorca Rankings will compete, with just South African Robin Williams not in the field. With the late inclusion of another player who had initially been expected to miss out, Rasmus Neergsard-Petersen, there will be 46 in the field as places will also go to the 46 and 47th in the rankings.
Players will be vying for a share of an overall payout of €500,000, with the winner set to claim €85,000.
However, there is considerably more at stake for the players at the event, with the chance to claim one of 20 potentially life-changing DP World Tour cards for the 2025 season.
Once there, the possibilities are virtually endless. While the entire Challenge Tour season offered a total of €8m in prize money, the 2024 DP World Tour season had $148.5m (around €137m), while for those who finish in the top 10 at the end of the season, there is a PGA Tour card, meaning the stakes for this week’s conclusion to the Challenge Tour season can barely be understated.
Below is the prize money payout for the Challenge Tour Grand Final.

Notable Challenge Tour Players Set To Earn DP World Tour Cards
Williams is not in the field as he has already secured a DP World Tour card in a better category thanks to his performance on it this season. That goes for Neegaard-Petersen too, but he does play. That means the player finishing 22nd at the end of the tournament will earn the final DP World Tour card as long as the pair remain in the top 20 of the rankings.

There are 640 Race to Mallorca points available to the winner this week, meaning that it is mathematically possible for even the player in ninth, Spaniard Joel Moscatel, to end the season as the Road to Mallorca Number One.
The current leader is Englishman John Parry, while other notable names in positions for a DP World Tour card ahead of the tournament include Dane Hamish Brown, who has two wins this season, Irishman Conor Purcell, who sits fourth and Swede Joakim Lagergren, who has one DP World Tour to his name. Elsewhere, Finn Oliver Lindell goes into the tournament off the back of seven successive top-10 finishes and sits fifth.
Englishmen Jack Senior, Brandon Robinson Thompson and Sam Hutsby are also in the top 22 of the rankings, as is Lucas Bjerregaard, who finished T2 at the DP World Tour’s Danish Golf Championship in his homeland in August.
German Nicolai von Dellinghausen begins the tournament in the final position to guarantee a DP World Tour card, with Jamie Rutherford, Euan Walker and Wilco Nienaber the three immediately beneath him.
In 47th and needing a strong performance to put him in the reckoning, is South African Justin Walters. He has 398 points, which is 229 behind Von Dellingshausen. For context, the player finishing second will claim 440 points, giving even Von Dellingshausen a reasonable shot at a card with a strong display.
What Is The Purse For The Challenge Tour Grand Final?
The Challenge Tour Grand Final offers a prize money payout of €500,000. However, arguably more important is the opportunity for the field of 47 to claim one of 20 DP World Tour cards for next season.
Who Is Playing In The Challenge Tour Grand Final?
There is a field of 46 for this year's edition. Hamish Brown is the leader with Nicolai von Dellinghausen the player currently occupying the final DP World Tour card position in the rankings. Justin Walters has the most to do ahead of the tournament as he begins in 47th.
