The HotelPlanner Tour and the Mallorca Preservation Foundation will partner once again during tournament week of the Rolex Grand Final supported by The R&A.
The season-ending event brings to a close a 29-event schedule, with the leading 45 players on the Road to Mallorca Rankings teeing it up at the Alcúdia venue in the season-ending showpiece from October 30-November 2.
This year marks the fifth time in the HotelPlanner Tour’s history that the season will conclude at Club de Golf Alcanada, with the partnership between the HotelPlanner Tour and the Mallorca Preservation Foundation coming to the fore once again in 2025.
The successful ‘Green Drive’ initiative, which was in place last year at Club de Golf Alcanada, returns for a third successive year on the 15th hole. For every player that drives the green on the par four 15th, €100 will be donated to the Mallorca Preservation Foundation to continue local tree planting and organic farming in the community.
Last year saw 31 players drive the green across the four tournament rounds, resulting in €3,100 being raised, before the donation amount was rounded up to €5,000 by the European Tour group.
Ana Riera, Director of Mallorca Preservation: “At Mallorca Preservation, we’re thrilled to continue this wonderful collaboration for another year. Thanks to the HotelPlanner Tour’s generous support, we can launch a new edition of Mallorca en Fruit, helping local farmers plant fruit trees and nurture a greener future for the island. Last year, the Green Drive initiative allowed us to plant 100 new trees. We can’t wait to see how much more we can grow together this year.
“With the support of the Rolex Challenge Tour, Mallorca en Fruit highlights how collaboration between sport, community, and environmental organizations can create meaningful impact. Each tree planted stands as a symbol of renewal—a quiet yet powerful gesture of love for Mallorca, its land, and its future.”
Sustainability initiatives at the Rolex Grand Final
The partnership with the Mallorca Preservation Foundation is part of a wider sustainability drive at the Rolex Grand Final, which aligns with the European Tour group’s Golf for Good initiative.
Leading that is the G4D Tour Series Finale which takes place at Club de Golf Alcanada for the first time, with ten of the leading golfers with a disability playing across three days, from Thursday to Sunday.
Elsewhere, recycling bins are located at 42 different locations around the venue, with Mallorcan waste management supplier, Adalmo, managing this effort.
Filtered drinking water fountains are available site-wide for players, caddies, staff and spectators to refill their own bottle, reducing the amount of single use plastic on site, with all players, caddies and staff have been provided with a reuseable water bottle.
Accreditation passes have all been made from recycled materials and there has been a full transfer to digital ticketing.
There is a 50% reduction in staff hire cars and a thorough bus shuttle service for event stakeholders, to minimise the number of individual car journeys. There is also a robust bus shuttle schedule, from both tournament hotels, delivered by ROIG Drive Mallorca, helping to reduce the need for tournament stakeholders to hire cars and take individual journeys
The media centre and tournament offices on site at Club de Golf Alcanada are being powered by grid power, rather than generators
Food is being sourced locally with the tournament and venue working closely with local suppliers.
On the opening day of the tournament, a beach clean is being conducted by 50 local school children, followed by a clinic hosted on the driving range, and there will be another clinic taking place on the Friday of tournament week for 14 golfers with disabilities.
The event will be offset through GEO Foundation following its conclusion.
