JC Ritchie has hit the top of the Road to Mallorca Rankings following two weeks of golfing dominance on the HotelPlanner Tour.
The South African, who won for the first time in Europe at the German Challenge powered by VcG back in July, sealed a second win of the season at the Open de Portugal at Royal Óbidos after birdieing his final three holes to finish one stroke clear of Scotsman David Law.
The seven-time HotelPlanner Tour winner went on to secure back-to-back titles just seven days later at the Italian Challenge Open, where he fired seven birdies in a row to start his final round. Ritchie would eventually finish on 20 under par, two strokes clear of Swedish pair Robin Petersson and Christofer Rahm.
Ritchie’s victory at Golf Nazionale saw him replace Law at the top of the Rankings with 1518 points, 112 points ahead of the Scotsman who holds second position.
Frenchman Oihan Guillamoundeguy, who sealed a maiden HotelPlanner Tour win at the 2025 Irish Challenge, occupies third place ahead of Italian Filippo Celli and Scot Daniel Young who make up the top five.
Renato Paratore and Daniel van Tonder, both two-time winners on the HotelPlanner Tour this year, sit inside the top ten with three events to play before the Rolex Grand Final supported by The R&A. Joshua Berry, Maximilian Steinlechner and Quim Vidal, all first time winners this year, sit inside the top ten ahead of back-to-back events in China.
With the top 20 players securing promotion to the DP World Tour for the 2026 season, valuable points are at stake for those around the bubble ahead of the Hainan Open and Hangzhou Open. Dane Victor Sidal Svendsen occupies the final promotion place on 557 points, nine points behind Italian Stefano Mazzoli.
Denmark’s Jonathan Gøth-Rasmussen is once place ahead of Mazzoli in 18th, behind Frenchman Clement Charmasson and Scot Euan Walker, who sits on 586 points. Englishman Jamie Rutherford, France’s Félix Mory, Spaniard Rocco Repetto Taylor and Swedish duo Hugo Townsend and Tobias Jonsson make up positions 11 through 15 and complete the current top 20.
