Scottish vet, 45, earns way back to DP World Tour with clutch finish in HotelPlanner final
Marc Warren turned in a clutch final nine holes to lock up what will be his first full season on Europe’s top circuit since 2023.
In a dramatic finish to the HotelPlanner Tour's Grand Final in Spain on Sunday, 45-year-old Scottish veteran Marc Warren secured his place on the DP World Tour with a clutch performance in the final nine holes. Warren, who has previously earned four wins on the DP World Tour, birdied five of his last eight holes to move into a tie for fifth place. This victory earned him enough points to jump from a ranking of No. 20 to No. 13 in the season-long points race.
Warren joins a host of other players, including eventual Road to Mallorca winner Hamish Brown, Julien Sale, Lars Van Der Vight, and several others, in earning full Category 15 status for the 2027 season. The list of players receiving this status includes Adam Wallin, Liam Nolan, John Gough, Sebastian Friedrichsen, Will Enefer, Andrew Wilson, Maxence Giboudot, and many more.
While Warren's victory ensured his return to the top circuit after a two-year hiatus, other players like Matthew Southgate, Louis Albertse, Kristian Hjort Bressum, John Catlin, and Pedro Figueiredo secured Category 19 membership for next year. Ten additional players will be granted Category 20 status, including Charlie Forster, Hurly Long, and Frederik Kjettrup.
