DP World Tour: Grand Final Road to Mallorca 36 hole results..

 HotelPlanner Tour : Grand Final 

• Leaderboard

Julien Sale produced a back nine birdie blitz on his way to a second round -7 65 to take a one-stroke lead into the weekend of the Grand Final at Club de Golf Alcanada.

The Frenchman mixed ten birdies with three dropped shots on Friday in Alcúdia to reach -13 at the halfway stage, one shot ahead of Dutchman Lars van der Vight.

The Grand Final is the 28th and final event on the HotelPlanner Tour’s 2026 Road to Mallorca schedule, with the 45-man field competing for one of 15 DP World Tour cards on offer.

"Today was a great round, and I cannot believe I made ten birdies," he said.

"I’ve been playing really well and managed to make a couple of putts which was nice. I had a couple of mistakes, but the birdies were there."

Sale is assured of promotion to the DP World Tour following a fine campaign which has included a breakthrough victory and five further top ten finishes. After taking charge in Mallorca, Sale is now projected to top the season-long Rankings and become the first Frenchman to achieve the feat since Mike Lorenzo-Vera 19 years ago.

Van der Vight also showed his fire power on Friday, matching Sale’s effort with a bogey-free 65 of his own, helping him to -12 and solo second.

Overnight leader Joseba Torres also kept pace with a -4 effort meaning he’s one back of the Dutchman on -11 under. The Spaniard, who has uncle José María Olazábal mentoring him this week, requires a sixth place finish to keep his hopes of promotion to Golf’s Global Tour alive.

American John Catlin holds solo fourth on -10 one stroke clear of England’s Matthew Southgate and South African MJ Daffue, -9

The third round of the Grand Final will get under way from 10:38am on Saturday, with Sale teeing off alongside Van der Vight and Torres at 12:02pm.

How do the DP World Tour Play-Offs work?

The Abu Dhabi Championship marks the first event of the DP World Tour Play-Offs, introduced for the first time as part of a new-look schedule in 2024.

Alongside the season-ending DP World Tour Championship, which follows a week later, they are the final sprint of the Race to Dubai season.

History of the event

Founded in 2006, the Abu Dhabi Championship celebrated its 20th edition in 2025.

The tournament is organised by the Abu Dhabi Sports Council in collaboration with the DP World Tour.

Designed by Kyle Phillips and opened in 2010, Yas Links - a European Tour Destinations venue - has been described by its creator as the first true links golf course in the Middle East.

What happened last year?

Aaron Rai claimed his second Rolex Series crown at the 2025 Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship after beating fellow Englishman Tommy Fleetwood in a play-off.

Rai, who won his first Rolex Series title at the 2020 Aberdeen Standard Investments Scottish Open, made a total of seven birdies - including four in a row from the fourth - and two bogeys in his closing 67 to reach 25 under par, while Fleetwood produced a bogey-free 66 that featured an eagle and four birdies.

Eugenio Chacarra leads the Race to Dubai Rankings Delivered by DP World ahead of the DP World Tour Play-Offs

Following the climax of the Genesis Championship on Sunday, the top 70 available players on the Race to Dubai Rankings, will tee it up in the first of back-to-back Rolex Series events from November 5-8.

Eugenio Chacarra leads the season-long standings, with Patrick Reed, Rory McIlroy and Casey Jarvis his closest pursuers in the battle for the Harry Vardon Trophy.

Aaron Rai, who rounds out the top five, returns to Abu Dhabi for his title defence as one of six Major Champions, alongside Reed, McIlroy, Adam Scott, Jon Rahm and Francesco Molinari.

Chacarra is the sole three-time winner this season and he will hope to add a Rolex Series title to his CV as he bids to become the third Spanish winner of the Race to Dubai after countrymen Jon Rahm and Seve Ballesteros.

Reed, who is bidding to become the second American winner of the Race to Dubai after Collin Morikawa, is one of nine Rolex Series winners in action having won his first earlier this year at the Hero Dubai Desert Classic.

McIlroy has won the Race to Dubai in each of the past four years and victory this season would see him claim the season-long crown for a record-equalling eighth time.

Past champions Tommy Fleetwood and Tyrrell Hatton will return to the alongside Major Champion Adam Scott.

Fleetwood will be chasing a third Abu Dhabi title, having won back-to-back editions in 2017 and 2018. His first victory featured a chip-in eagle at the tenth as he edged Dustin Johnson and Pablo Larrazábal by one shot, before a closing 65 secured his second title 12 months later.

The Dubai resident and World #6 went on to win the Race to Dubai in 2017 and the inaugural Dubai Invitational in 2024, before claiming the PGA Tour’s FedEx Cup last year.

Hatton, the 2021 Abu Dhabi champion, has five Rolex Series titles to his name, including victories at Abu Dhabi Golf Club and the Hero Dubai Desert Classic in 2025.

Scott adds further Major-winning pedigree to the field. The 2013 Masters champion became the first Australian to win the Green Jacket and has recorded more than 30 professional victories worldwide, having also reached World Number One. He will be joined by fellow Masters champion Jon Rahm, who won at Augusta National in 2023 and will make his debut at Yas Links.

Yuto Katsuragawa will also tee it up after securing his place in the Play-Offs with victory at the Genesis Championship in South Korea. joined by Jayden Schaper, Husqvarna British Masters hosted by Sir Nick Faldo champion Joe Dean, and Dubai Invitational winner Nacho Elvira, alongside 2026 PGA Tour winners Kristoffer Reitan and Stefano Mazzoli, and Back Nine winners Thriston Lawrence, Adrian Meronk and Grant Forrest.

Gregorio De Leo is the lone player set for their Rolex Series debut, having earned his playing rights through Qualifying School for the second consecutive time last year.

Four Qualifying School graduates are in the UAE, with Davis Bryant, Daniel Rodrigues and Nathan Kimsey also taking their place, with Italian pair Stefano Mazzoli and Filippo Celli having qualified as graduates of the HotelPlanner Tour's Class of 2025.

Jordan Gumberg is the last man in the field at the close of entries, with players representing 22 nationalities set to tee it up at the penultimate event of the season.
