Final Stage was six gruelling rounds from 7 to 12 November at Infinitum Golf Club in Spain. There was a cut after four rounds reducing the field to sixty for the final two rounds. Curtis Luck , Sam Jones, Tyler wood and Harrison Crowe missed the cut.
After 108 holes there were twenty players left standing with DP World cards for next season. From Australia only Connor McKinney (T2) survived and will play the European circuit next year.
Zander Lombard from Zimbabwe demolished the field finishing 13 shots clear of the group in second. Popular podcast host Eddie Pepperell regained his DP World Tour card in spectacular fashion with birdies on the last four holes to get inside the qualifying mark. Former DP World Tour player Shubhanker Sharma from India also made it through.
