Staff WriterThe G4D Tour Series Finale @ Rolex Grand Final lands at Club de Golf Alcanada from 30 October to 1 November, with 54 holes to decide two champions: a gross winner and a net winner. Headliners Kipp Popert and Mark Clougherty arrive with form, grit and unfinished business.
Popert’s season has been a study in stubborn excellence. The Englishman — back from left-foot surgery — rattled off back-to-back wins at the G4D Tour @ Amgen Irish Open (The K Club) and the G4D Tour @ BMW PGA Championship (Wentworth), the latter for a fourth consecutive year, while sitting atop the World Ranking for Golfers with Disability (WR4GD). He’s defending the gross title this week and doing it on new turf.
“It would be amazing,” he said. “It’s a little different this year at a new venue. It looks a real test and I’m hoping for a good result. I’ll do my best.
“From the perspective of having surgery on my left foot in January, to miss five months of golf was really challenging, so to get out to Mallorca and have this opportunity now to put in a good performance will be very special.
“It feels great to be fit again and to enjoy some results recently to be proud of. I won’t say I’ve been surprised by my good form, as I have worked really hard to get there, but the stars have certainly all aligned for me and that has been fantastic.
“My game feels very good and my foot feels very good. I feel grateful to be in good form after such a challenging time earlier in the year. I’m enjoying all my practice and can’t wait to play in Spain.”
The gross field won’t roll over. Expect fire from Brendan Lawlor (G4D Open men’s champion), Daphne van Houten (G4D Open women’s champion), Australia’s Lachlan Wood, England’s Mike Brown — Series Finale winner in 2023 — and Cameroon’s Issa Nlareb. All are top-10 in the world and perfectly capable of taking this wire-to-wire.
In the net battle, Ireland’s Mark Clougherty looks dangerous after a breakout at the G4D Tour @ FedEx Open de France, where he led overnight and then detonated a seven-under 65 to win by 11 shots. His story — a military veteran medically discharged from the Royal Military Police in 2013 — brings steel to the leaderboard and perspective to the moment.
“This tournament feels as big as it gets,” he said. “It’s an honour and a privilege to be playing in Mallorca against the other net finalists from Canada, South Africa and Slovenia, who have all earned the right to be there.
“The win was massive. I was over the moon with my second round score and I think I was more proud of how I played from the mental point of view and how I produced that round of golf under the circumstances and pressure.
“I’m really excited about Spain and trying to maintain the same strategy with my game and not deviate from the plan.”
He’ll square up against Canada’s Kelly Masson (above-knee amputee and current No.1 in the net World Rankings), Slovenia’s Marjan Gavez (a 2025 G4D debutant), and South Africa’s Daniel Slabbert, who won on his first start at the G4D Tour @ Betfred British Masters in August.
Launched in 2022 by the DP World Tour and EDGA (formerly the European Disabled Golf Association), the G4D Tour is the visible tip of a wider pathway: make the game accessible, credible and competitive.
The model is simple and powerful — same course, same week as the DP World Tour pros — backed by European Tour group funding that helps EDGA raise awareness, define eligibility, run events and deliver coaching and development worldwide.
This week, Mallorca gets the final say. Two trophies, 54 holes, and a field that’s all heart and zero tokenism.
