Welcome to the Rolex Challenge Tour Grand Final supported by The R&A. For the second year in a row, the T Golf & Country Club in Mallorca hosts this tournament, which brings to a close the 2021 Road to Mallorca Rankings, the season-long competition that decides the tour’s overall champion.
Played against the backdrop of the beautiful Tramuntana mountains on the Mediterranean island located off Spain’s east coast, the culmination of the tour season provides a unique opportunity for the top 20 players to earn European Tour playing privileges for the next campaign.
In June, our brand – a dedicated supporter of the European Challenge Tour for more than 30 years – was announced as Title Sponsor of the season finale, thereby reaffirming an enduring commitment to the game. We also wish to commend The R&A, with whom we have built a close association over many years, for becoming the event’s Supporting Partner.
For more than half a century, we have supported the development of the sport at junior, amateur and professional levels worldwide. The continuous quest for excellence, the will to persevere, advance the discipline and respect its traditions – these are the qualities that unite our brand with the world of golf. They explain why we have fastened our destiny to that of the sport by developing solid, long-lasting and prestigious partnerships with the noblest institutions, the most legendary tournaments and the greatest players.
The Challenge Tour has been at the forefront of taking golf across the globe, with tournaments played in more than 50 countries. Our long-term commitment to the tour began with the Rolex Trophy in the inaugural 1989 season. Our support will now concentrate primarily on the Grand Final as part of our ongoing support for the game’s next generation of stars.
Finally, I would like to pass on my best wishes to all of the players. Their commitment to excellence will hopefully lead to long and distinguished careers that will help extend the sport’s global appeal into the future.
I wish you all an enjoyable week of top-class golf.
