Challenge Tour – British Challenge presented by Modest! Golf Management
From 6 to 9 October the Road to Mallorca champions travel to Cornwall, England. The British Challenge presented by Modest! Golf Management marks the first of the back-to-back events of the European Challenge Tour in England, along with the English Trophy presented by Rocket Yard Sports Marketing which will take place next week in Frilford Heath.

The two events represent the last chance for players to acquire points for the “Road to Mallorca” leaderboard before the Rolex Challenge Tour Grand Final supported by The R&A, where the top 45 players will battle for one of the coveted 20 cards of the DP World Tour and part of the €500,000 prize pool.

The British Challenge will be played on the Nicklaus Signature Course, the first European course designed by Jack Nicklaus of St. Melliot Estate, which opened in 1988. The course hosted the B&H International Open of the DP World Tour between 1990 and 1995 and has seen winners such as Jose María Olazábal, Bernhard Langer and Severiano Ballesteros.

The course is considered one of the best golf courses in Cornwall and is undoubtedly one of the most difficult in the British hinterland, with wonderful views over the countryside. The challenge to become the No. 1 of the Road to Mallorca is getting more and more heated and the German Alexander Knappe, who leads the standings, wants to become the first German player to achieve the feat.

Knappe’s first win came at the Dimension Data Pro-Am at the opening of the season, while his second came at the recent B-NL Challenge Trophy in Hulencourt and is now aiming for “promotion” to the DP World Tour with a third win.

The Swede Mikael Lindberg is second, while the English Nathan Kimsey, the German Freddy Schott and the Swede Jens Dantorp close the top 5 of the ranking. There will be four blues on the field: Enrico Di Nitto, Jacopo Vecchi Fossa, Lorenzo Scalise and Aron Zemmer.

Rahm’s first two wins at the Centro Nacional de Golf and at the Club de Campo Villa de Madrid, where he is also played this year, were his first two appearances at the event.

The winner of a major and former No. 1 in the world last year had earned a 17th place. DP World Tour – acciona Open de España presented by Madrid

Cabrera Bello will attempt to defend the title, while Arnaus, after five second places on the Tour, has finally secured his maiden win this season in the Catalunya Championship.

The course, PAR 71, is full of water and bunkers for and represents the players of the world, while the final part of the holes passed, including a drivable par-4, an achievable par-5 and the par-3 that passed with A sharp to sudden death, it always seems to offer a dramatic atmosphere at the end of the tournament.

The field this week is very respectable, with 12 of the top 50 in the world rankings in the “Sin City”, including some of the up-and-coming Presidents Cup champions. Defending champion Sungjae Im will also be on the field.

The Korean was one of four players to have shared 1st place in the last 18 holes of the 2021 edition. Im had completed the final round in 62 strokes, to earn his second title on the PGA Tour and beat the four lengths. current LIV Golf player Matthew Wolff.

Among the players on the field, for a prize pool of 8 million dollars, the favorites seem to be: Tom Kim, who is still flying high after his debut at the Presidents Cup, Max Homa, who does not have a great record on this course, but has shown excellent form after winning the Fortinet Championship.

Patrick Cantlay is also among the favorites and boasts an outstanding record at TPC Summerlin, along with Jason Day, who missed the cut two years ago but has worked hard on his game and expects results. This year the event will not take place at Daly City’s Lake Merced Golf Club.

After hosting the first three years of the tournament in the Bay Area, the LPGA MEDIHEAL Championship moves six hours south to the Saticoy Club, nestled in the hills of California, Somis.
