At the halfway point of the final round of the Challenge Tour Grand Final, it seemed that Rasmus Neergaard-Petersen was cruising to the title. However, because of three bogeys in the final seven holes, including a three putt at the last, the trophy was handed to Norway’s Kristoffer Reitan.
Once again, it was a dramatic finale to what was an epic tournament as, not only was the trophy up for grabs, but 22 DP World Tour cards!
Usually, 20 cards are handed out but, due to Neergaard-Petersen and Robin Williams already earning them earlier in the season, it meant number 22 in the rankings would be the lowest number given a DP World Tour card.
Amongst those who will be plying their trade on the circuit next season are a range of experienced players that have secured their cards back, like Alex Levy and Tapio Pulkkanen, as well as young, upcoming stars like Angel Ayora.
Below, we have taken a look at all 22 players that managed to secure their playing DP World Tour privileges for 2025.

3. Oliver Lindell
Although Lindell didn’t win on the Challenge Tour in 2024, he did produce a fine run of results, such as 10 top 10s, including eight in his last eight starts! He will be one of the rookies on the DP World Tour next season.
