This prestigious event marks the culmination of the Road to Mallorca 2024. This season-long competition features 30 tournaments across 19 countries, where the top 45 players battle for 20 places on the DP World Tour.

The Grand Final, the most significant event on the European Challenge Tour, has a long-standing tradition of showcasing future stars of the sport. The Challenge Tour itself, established in 1989, is Europe’s leading developmental tour, having been the launchpad for many of today’s top players, including Justin Rose, Tommy Fleetwood, and Brooks Koepka. The top 20 players in the season rankings earn direct promotion to the DP World Tour, with the winner of the Road to Mallorca Rankings receiving the coveted Silver Salver and Category 15 membership.

This year, the Rolex Challenge Tour Grand Final will once again take place at the world-class Club de Golf Alcanada. Opened in 2003, this renowned course is the brainchild of Hans-Peter Porsche, whose vision took 17 years to materialise due to official requirements. Since then, the course has become one of the finest in Spain and a favourite among golfers worldwide. Designed by the legendary Robert Trent Jones Jr., Alcanada’s layout is challenging and breathtaking, offering views of the Mediterranean Sea from every hole. The iconic Alcanada lighthouse, visible from almost every spot on the course, adds to the allure of this beautiful golfing destination.

The Battle of Stars: golfing for a cause in Mallorca

Posted on by

Pula Golf Resort, in collaboration with the Golf Club Son Servera, is preparing for the next edition of The Battle of Stars, which will kick off on Thursday, June 13, in Mallorca, in a remarkable display of sportsmanship and solidarity. During two rounds, this charity tournament aims to raise funds and attention for ALS (Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) and multiple sclerosis. The participation of renowned athletes and celebrities such as Rafa Nadal, Marcos Alonso, Pep Guardiola, Feliciano López, Pepe Reina, Gabriel Batistuta, and Antonio Orozco not only turns this event into a high-profile occasion but also inspires and motivates to contribute to this noble cause. This second edition, initiated by Pula Golf Resort and supported by Mallorca, promises a memorable experience.

The Battle of Stars offers amateur golfers a unique and exciting opportunity to play alongside world-class figures over two days filled with purpose and social impact. Among the notable participants will be Juan Carlos Unzué, a former footballer and coach who has become a symbol of the fight against ALS. This rare chance to share the course with these stars is a privilege that should not be missed.

The Battle of Stars support

The tournament is bolstered by the support of Golf East Mallorca, Fundación Mallorca Turismo, Cap Vermell Grand Hotel, Inmobiliaria Sa Coma, and Banco Santander, ensuring its resounding success. The picturesque Pula Golf Resort and the scenic Golf Club Son Servera will showcase their world-class facilities and beautiful landscapes. They are famous among the most sought-after destinations for Spain golf holidays.

Pula Golf Resort, a unique venue that hosted the Mallorca Classic on the DP World Tour for seven years, was redesigned by two-time Masters champion José María Olazábal between 2004 and 2006. Established in 1995, Pula Golf was transformed into a premier golf course, a par-72 spanning 6,246 meters, with 14 of its 18 holes offering views of the green from the tee. Pula Golf is known for hosting significant events like the PGA European Tour Championships Mallorca and the Olazábal and Nadal Invitational.

On the other hand, Golf Club Son Servera, designed by John Harris and Francisco López Segales, opened in 1967 and expanded from 9 to 18 holes in 2012. Situated on the northeastern coast of Mallorca, Son Servera offers a typical parkland course running through pine trees with stunning sea views of Cala Millor bay.

Together, Pula Golf and Club and Son Servera provide the perfect backdrop for The Battle of Stars, blending the beauty of Mallorca with the spirit of solidarity and sportsmanship.
