How To Earn A European Tour Card

There are many ways to qualify for a European Tour card which gives membership to the European Tour, now known as the DP World Tour

• Sign up to Golf Monthly Newsletter Newsletter

There are two basic ways to get a European Tour card and thus membership of the European Tour, or DP World Tour as it is now known : you have it and retain it, or you qualify to move onto the Tour. There are many different routes to retain membership, just as there are for qualification.

The DP World tour operates, in effect, a promotion and relegation system with the Challenge Tour. It used to be that the top 110 on the Race to Dubai were guaranteed ‘staying up’ and the top players on the Challenge Tour’s Road to Mallorca were ‘promoted’. Those promoted this way used to be the top 15 but with Q-School (more of which later) suspended during the pandemic, it has been the top 20. Similarly, it has been the top 121 on the Race to Dubai who have ‘stayed up’ recently.

There are other ways to retain Tour membership which do not rely upon the final position in the Race to Dubai. Winning a DP World Tour event earns exemption from ‘relegation’, with the more prestigious the tournament, the more the number of seasons exemption a victory earns. Race to Dubai winners also gain lengthy exemptions. Some players can even retain membership on the basis of career performances, under a category of membership known rather delightfully and officially as ‘Legends’.

But how can you qualify for the Tour for the next season if not already on it during the current season? Well, a strong finishing position on the Challenge Tour’s order of merit is one way. Winning the order of merit of other selected tours around the world also brings with it DP World Tour membership.

But what if you are a golfer who fancies joining the Tour and none of the above applies? For them there is Qualifying School, or Q-School as it is known.

This was not held in 2020 or 2021 because of the pandemic. But ordinarily it is run over three stages and the top 25 in the final stage earn Tour membership. Some players are exempt from having to enter at stage one, and automatically qualify for either stage two or stage three.

Stages one and two are four-round tournaments at various venues. Stage three is a six-round tournament at one venue in Spain (most recently at in Tarragona at Lumine Golf Club , now renamed Infinitum )  with 156 entrants, with a cut after four rounds. The top 25 win Tour membership.

It costs to enter Q-School – the fee was €1,800 in 2019, the last time Q-School has been held. That year 842 golfers teed it up in the first stage across nine different venues with 183 players qualifying through this process to join those players whose exemption took them straight into stage two. 

You do not need to become a PGA Professional if you fancy a shot at Tour glory and a European Tour card. The good news is any male amateur golfer can enter Q-School so long as they have a handicap of 0.4 or lower. The bad news is that shot is probably the longest of longshots: the last time Q-School was held, more than 1,000 golfers entered in quest of those 25 spots.

Final stage preview.

The final stage of European Tour Q-school begins today in Spain. A total of six rounds will be played, with the 156-player field being cut to the top 70 and ties after the fourth day. The top 25 (and ties) will earn European Tour status. Below is a breakdown of the course, some notables in the field, and a link to scoring. 

The Courses

Infinitum Golf Club (Lakes and Hills)

Hills: Par 72- 6956 yards Designer: Green Project

Lakes: Par 71- 7001 yards Designer: Greg Norman

The Field ‍

The player with the most european tour wins ‍.

Gonzalo Fernandez-Castano - The Spaniard has seven European Tour wins, the last coming in 2013. He was ranked 27th in OWGR in 2013 but currently sits at 1229th.  ‍

Follow the Cloud

Kiradech Aphibarnrat-  The lovable multi-time European and Asian Tour winner looks to regain the form he had when he rose to 29th in the OWGR. There have been glimpses of the old game lately, including a T5 at the KLM Open this year. Here is hoping the crowd favorite plays well. 

Another Comeback

Tom Lewis-  The Englishmen was one of the best amateurs in the world when he turned pro in 2011. He backed up the promise with a win in his first month as a pro, but sustained success has been fleeting. Lewis has been to Q-school multiple times in between, winning two Euro titles and the Korn Ferry Tour Championship in his first KFT start. Here is hoping another jumpstart is coming. 

Elvis Lives!

Elvis Smylie-  Suspicious Minds  might say this isn't the real Elvis. Well,  Hound Dog , I think you might be wrong. This is the real Elvis. The lefty from Australia has played very well in his homeland, visiting  Heartbreak Hotel  a few times with two runner-up finishes. But with a spot in the final stage, it's  Now or Never.  (I'm sorry) 

The Road Back

Braden Thornberry-  Thornberry was named an All-American as a freshman at the University of Mississippi and won the individual NCAA Championship as a sophomore. In his first PGA Tour start, he finished T4, but his struggles started soon after. He lost his KFT status at the end of 2022. He opened second stage with an 81 and was in third-to-last place, but played very well in the final three rounds, nabbing the final spot in a playoff and surviving. Here is to the start of the comeback. 

Be the Right Club Today

Callum McNeil-  Callum is one of my favorite stories in golf. Originally from Scotland, McNeil worked at a club in Texas and worked on his game when he could. There, he met Hal Sutton, who eventually agreed to coach him and help him play pro golf under one condition: McNeil needed to quit his job at the club. He did and now heads to the final stage of Euro Q-school for the first time. 

The Lone Maple Leaf

Sebastian Szirmak-  The lone Canadian in the field, Szirmak looks to gain status on a major tour for the first time in his 11-year pro career. This season, his best finish came on the Mexican Tour, where he finished T4. 

Red, White, and Blue

A total of 14 Americans will tee it up in Spain. The group includes John Caitlin, who owns three Euro Tour and four Asian Tour wins. Also included in the group are KFT members Evan Harmeling, Patrick Newcomb, and James Nicholas. 

International Flavor

A total of 30 countries will be represented at final stage including Iceland, Zimbabwe, and India. It will also include 13 players from Denmark, a country with just 150 courses and a population of just 5.8 million. 

Deon Germishuys-  The South African, who has a Sunshine Tour win, is the highest-ranked player in the field at 335th.

The early stages of European Tour Q School is start of a long road for longshots

KELSO, Scotland -- Much as we might sometimes think the exact opposite, professional golf isn’t all about Ryder Cups, major championships and cozy on-air chats with Jim Nantz and Dan Hicks. Behind the endlessly glamorous existence of your household names there sits another dimension, a world occupied by thousands of dreamers yearning for a place at the game’s top table.

Located in the heart of the beautiful Scottish Borders region, the Roxburghe near the market town of Kelso is one of the most picturesque courses in the land that gave golf to the world. This week it is also one of eight venues for the first of the three stages that make up the European Tour Qualifying School. And, in what is an increasing trend, as many as 80 Americans will be teeing up over the next month in Scotland, England, Germany, Austria, Portugal, France and Italy in an effort to make it onto the world’s second-biggest circuit.

No one said it was going to be easy though, quite apart from the financial commitment of the €1800 entry fee. Starting from stage one, a player will have to compete as many as 14 rounds of golf in order to gain playing privileges for next season. As something of a consolation prize, those who make the 72-hole cut at November’s six-round final stage but do not qualify for full cards will be eligible to compete on the second-tier Challenge Tour in 2017.

All of which currently seems a ways off to all concerned, including one of those four-score Americans, Nathaniel James. The 30-year old Washington and Lee graduate, a veteran of the Adams Tour, the FairWay Tour and other assorted minor-league venues is making his third successive visit to the Roxburghe, having failed to advance in his previous two starts. He is nothing if not persistent though, as his rather unorthodox life in professional golf makes clear.

After a successful college career both on and off the course, James took the decision to commit to law school after graduation. Three years after that, he was working in a Forth Worth law firm. After three more years in a suit, James had been away from competitive golf for six whole summers. The urge to play was still there though. And, in the classic manner of all frustrated players, gazing out of the office window at the sunshine eventually made up his mind.

“I knew I was never going to be a lawyer my whole life, so I began exploring other options with my wife,” says James, who opened with a round of 70, two under par. “Playing golf for a living has always been my dream and thankfully I have had the support of my family and friends along the way. I turned professional in August 2014. My first event was actually the European Tour qualifying here at the Roxburghe.

US PGA TOUR

“Since then I’ve played a lot of mini-tours and Monday qualifiers. I’ve bounced around a lot, waiting for the opportunity to break through to the next level. That’s why I’m here. Getting all the way to the European Tour is too much to think of right now though. It’s one shot at a time, one round at a time. For me, it is just a privilege to be here. For a long time I never thought this would be my story. I don’t want to be looking back when I’m older wishing I had tried but never having done so. I really believe this is where I’m supposed to be.”

The latest chapter in James’ convoluted and as yet unfulfilled story will be written this week, at a place a long, long way - physically, mentally and geographically - from where he ultimately wants to be. In that at least, the only litigator in the 89-man field at the Roxburghe is the same as everyone else.

Dp world tour q-school – 2022 second stage preview & results.

8th November 2022 – Updated

I am following all of the amateur players as well as the Great British & Irish professionals  (and one or two other players of interest) through the 2022 DP World Tour Qualifying School series.

The Q-School consists of three stages, First, Second and Final. More information on the 2022 Qualifying School can be found in the Appendix at the end of this article.

This post covers SECOND STAGE QUALIFYING which was played between the 3rd – 6th November.

Four events were played concurrently at Desert Springs GC, Emporda Golf, Isla Canela Links and Las Colinas G&CC, all in Spain. These competitions were played over 72 holes with no cut.

An earlier article covered the FIRST STAGE  and an additional one will be penned prior to the FINAL STAGE being played.

The Final Stage will be played ad Infinitum, previously known as Lumine Golf Club, on 11th – 16th November. 156 players will battle over six rounds for a top 25 and ties finish and a place on the DP World Tour for the 2023 season.

95 players were ultimately allocated spots at Infinitum from the four Second Stage qualifiers with 61 players exempted into this year’s Final Stage.

SECOND STAGE

The Second Qualifying Stage consisted of four separate 72-hole events, all played without a cut

There were 284 players competing including 85 from Great Britain & Ireland – 30% of the overall field. There were 10 amateurs including Callan Barrow (ENG) Luke Harries (WAL) and Rob Moran (IRL).

93 qualifying spots were ultimately made available for Final Stage – 3 being added during the tournaments due to withdrawals by already exempt players. Sudden death play-offs were held to resolve any ties at this Stage with Alternates determined too to deal with any future withdrawals.

Here is a summary of the results from the four events with my selected players, their results and routes to Second Stage all shown.

THE 2022 DP WORLD TOUR QUALIFYING SCHOOL SERIES

The DP World Tour (previously known as the European Tour until November 2021) Qualifying School was first played in 1976, four years after the European Tour was founded. What started out as a 72 hole test has grown into potentially a 252 hole marathon.

Nowadays there are three stages of stroke play qualifying; First, Second and Final.

The 2022 European Tour Q-School entrance fee is £2,000 (2019: £1,800).

Male amateur golfers with a handicap below 0.4 (i.e. scratch) and who have appeared in positions 1-2,000 of the World Amateur Golf Ranking (WAGR) in 2022 can enter.

Some entrants are exempted straight into Second Stage or Final Stage based on their past results and ranking.

From an amateur perspective the leading 5 entrants to First Stage as at 17th August 2022 to a limit of 20th place in the WAGR are fast-tracked straight into Second Stage.

FIRST STAGE

First Stage consisted of nine 72 hole stroke play qualifying events split into six Sections, A, B, C, D, E and F.

Around 20% of each field, normally 15-30 players, progressed from each event. The actual number of places were confirmed after all of the players had teed off on Day 1 of each qualifier.

A 54-hole cut, where players needed to be within 7 shots of the final allocated qualifying place, reduced the field for the final round. Ties for the final qualifying place at the end of play also advanced.

For more information on this year’s First Stage please read – DP World Tour Q-School – 2022 First Stage Preview & Results

The Second Qualifying Stage consists of four separate 72-hole events.

There is no cut.

The actual number of places available for Final Stage are again confirmed after all of the players have teed off on Day 1 of each event. Sudden death play-offs are held to resolve ties at this Stage.

FINAL STAGE

The Final Qualifying Stage consists of 108 holes on the Lakes and Hills Courses at Infinitum, previously known as Lumine GC, in Tarragona, Spain. Infinitum / Lumine replaced PGA Catalunya Resort in 2017 and will be hosting Final Stage for the third time this year.

The Tour has entered a new 3 year contract, covering 2022-24, with the Spanish venue to stage the Finals.

156 players will play two rounds over each of the Lakes and Hills Courses. After these 72 holes the field will be cut to the leading 70 players and ties who will play a final 36 holes.

The leading 25 players (plus those tied for 25th place) in the Final Stage competition will earn Full Membership of The DP World Tour (and Challenge Tour) for the 2023 season. On average between 2014-19 the medalist has received 27 European Tour starts whilst the 25th qualifier has garnered 18.

Those who make the 72 hole cut but finish outside the Top 25 will also earn a membership category, albeit a lower one, on the DP World Tour (and Challenge Tour).

Players who miss the cut will be eligible for membership of the Challenge Tour.

Every player is ranked according to their finishing score, card count backs assisting in this process, and this ranking matters when it comes to future playing opportunities.

11th – 16th November 2022

By Sky Sports Golf

Monday 27 January 2020 11:40, UK

Amy Boulden secured full playing privileges on the Ladies European Tour for 2020 with a three-shot victory in the Qualifying School Final Stage at La Manga.

The 26-year-old posted a five-under 68 on the South Course to end the 90-hole event on 10 under, pulling her clear of nearest challengers Magdalena Simmermacher and Alison Muirhead.

Only the top five players earnt LET Membership in Category 5c, guaranteeing entry into all regular events, with Switzerland's Kim Metraux and England's Alice Hewson claiming the other two spots.

"I'm relieved," Boulden said. "It's always a tough week coming back to Q-School. I decided to play a bit on the Symetra Tour last year and didn't manage to keep my LET card from the six events in which I played, so I was always planning to come back.

"I love playing in Europe, but you feel a bit of extra pressure once you've had your card and then lose it. It's a big relief to have it."

Simmermacher posted a final-round 68 to end on seven under and Muirhead - who started the final day tied for the lead - carded a two-under 71 to end her first professional event in third spot.

Fifteen more players secured Category 8a membership, including England's Charlotte Thomas and South Africa's Monique Smith, who birdied the second extra hole of a four-way play-off to claim the final spot.

Sagstrom snatches LPGA Tour win

Madelene Sagstrom claimed her maiden LPGA Tour title with a narrow win at the Gainbridge LPGA at Boca Rio in Florida.

The Swede mixed four birdies with two bogeys to card a two-under 70 and claim a one-shot victory over Nasa Hataoka, who held a share of the lead until a final-hole bogey.

Danielle Kang finished two strokes off the pace in third after a bogey-free 69, with Celine Boutier a further two off the pace in fourth spot.

"I have never been in a situation like this before, so obviously it was all new to me," Sagstrom said. "I didn't know how I was going to handle it or if it was going to go my way or not, so my whole goal today was just go out and stay patient and do what I have done the other days."

Sagstrom recovered from bogeying two of her opening five holes to post three birdies in a four-hole stretch from the eighth, before adding another from four feet at the 17th to get to 17 under.

Hataoka missed a three-foot putt on the last to extend the contest, while Kang failed to put pressure on the lead after closing her round with eight consecutive pars.

Charley Hull recovered from a double-bogey at the par-five 10th to close out a final-round 68 and end in tied-11th, with Solheim Cup teammates Georgia Hall and Carlota Ciganda in the share of 15th place.

Tour de France

Can pogačar do the double these 5 stages will decide who wins the tour de france, where will the yellow jersey be won a stupid-hard opener, some gravel, and the most explosive tour de france finale in decades will decide..

Heading out the door? Read this article on the new Outside+ app available now on iOS devices for members! >","name":"in-content-cta","type":"link"}}'>Download the app .

Can Tadej Pogačar follow Marco Pantani’s pedal strokes and win both the Giro d’Italia and Tour de France in one season?

Jonas Vingegaard , Primož Roglič , Remco Evenepoel , and one of the most fiendishly tricky Tour de France routes in decades will decide.

A stupidly hard opening stage, 32km of dirt roads, an extended trip to high altitude, and a wild rollercoaster TT ride around Nice stand between uber-favorite “Pogi” and his place in history.

So cancel work, lock your family out of the house, and stock up on snacks.

These are the five must-watch stages that will decide the 2024 Tour de France:

Stage 1: Firenze-Rimini

• Saturday June 29
• 206km/3,800m+

The Florence grand départ will be the rudest slap in the face imaginable for the “Big 4″ of the Tour de France.

Seven categorized climbs – yes, seven – over a 200km+ course makes this the hilliest first stage of the Tour in history.

It’s an Italian mini-classic out of the Lombardia and Liège playbook that will show who’s hot and who’s not in what will be a wild opening day for a tightly wound, nerve-riddled peloton.

None of the Tuscan climbs on the stage 1 menu are huge, but they’re relentlessly stacked back-to-back-to-back. Former Liège-Bastogne-Liège champions Pogačar and Evenepoel would be licking their chops with delight if this was a one-day race.

The “Big 4” could end up butting heads after just 100 or so clicks of the 80+ hour Tour de France on a course like this.

Pogačar will likely be playing the Tour a lot cooler than his flamethrower approach to the Giro d’Italia. But if he’s feeling fresh and recovered just 31 days after his rampage through Italy, don’t be surprised to see the supreme Slovene burning up Le Tour from day one.

For defending champion Vingegaard, there will be no room for post-injury cobwebs .

Stage 9: Troyes-Troyes

• Sunday July 7
• 199km/2,000m+

Expect gravel beefs aplenty in the opening week of the Tour.

The race’s opening phase finishes with a stage stacked with dirt road sectors that will have old-school directors fuming and tarmac aficionados wailing.

A total of 14 chemins blancs , or white roads, line the course of this tricky, technical stage through Troyes.

Sure, a total of 32km of dirt means this is no Strade Bianche, but there’s three times more sterrato than what we saw on stage 6 of this year’s Giro d’Italia, and the most off-road Le Tour has seen in some time.

The “dirtiness” of the chemins blanc is unknown – it could be a stone-packed puncturefest or it could be hard clay that’s a cruise for any adept pro.

Yet any surface that’s not smooth asphalt comes laden with risk. Remember how Vingegaard and Jumbo-Visma nearly unraveled during a wild and wacky day on the pavé in 2022?

Punctures, crashes, and potentially slow support from team cars could do a lot of damage to a peloton starting to run on fumes after nine days of racing.

Pogačar isn’t going to be pulling any sort of Strade Bianche redux with an 80km solo raid on the Tour’s ninth stage. But he’s undoubtedly the multi-surface master of the GC pack and could be poised to profit.

Some of the classification contenders could be heading into the Tour’s first rest day after stage 9 with some serious grumbles about gravel in grand tours.

Stage 14: Pau-Pla d’Adet

• Saturday July 13
• 152km / 4000m+

“4,000 meters of climbing in 80km? Yes please,” said nobody in the peloton when they looked at the course for stage 14.

This first of two days in the French Pyrénées is an interval session of ascents that won’t take any prisoners. Expect mountain trains and lots of pain in what could work out the most explosive climbing stage of the Tour.

Three high passes including the Tourmalet in little more than two hours of racing will provide the teams of the “Big 4” a true amphitheater opportunity to put the hurt on their rivals.

Teams with depth and ambition like UAE Emirates and its armada of top Pogi-supporting climbers could turn the Tour upside down on a stage short enough to be steamrollered with both feet on the accelerator.

If Pogačar still has gas in his fifth week of 2024 grand tour racing, early attacks and ambushes could be options for UAE Emirates instead of a traditional “train” approach.

If there aren’t race-shifting time gaps on GC after this short ‘n’ severe Saturday, there certainly will be 24 hours later. The under recovered peloton will be slapped with a traditional “queen stage” mountain procession through the Ariège Pyrénées the next day on stage 15.

One of the “Big 4” is sure to explode during beastly back-to-back.

Stage 19: Embrun-Isola 2000

• Friday July 19
• 145km/4,500m+

Stage 19 packs 58km – that right, FIFTY-EIGHT KILOMETERS – of uphill into just 145km. It’s a killer.

And as if the total 4,500m of total gain isn’t enough, a chunk of the elevation loaded into this 19th stage of the Tour de France is in the strength-sapping thin air of high altitude.

Each of the day’s three climbs is mind-bendingly long and crosses the lethal 2,000m elevation mark, and the Cime de la Bonnette is one of the highest paved roads in Europe.

It used to be said Pogačar had a chink in his armor when a race went this high.

The doubters thought again this May when the Slovenian slayed all his GC rivals by three minutes during the Giro’s high-altitude stage to Livigno. Roglič, Vingegaard, and Evenepoel will pray they’re similarly well adapted after their torpedoed 2024 training programs.

If “Pogi” is running on fumes, if Vingegaard is undertrained, or if Roglič and Evenepoel didn’t do the work after the Critérium du Dauphiné, the GC favorites could be scattered all through the French Alps in this decisive mountain stage.

Half the peloton stayed atop Isola during their final pre-Tour training camps. Many of them won’t enjoy going back.

Stage 21: Monaco-Nice

• Sunday July 21

Will stage 21 of this year’s Tour de France the best grand tour finale in decades? Quite possibly.

This year’s closing TT marks the first time in history that Le Tour has finished outside of Paris, and ASO designed a stunner to mark the historic occasion.

Rolling out of Pogačar’s European hometown Monaco and straight up popular test climbs La Turbie and Col d’Èze, stage 21 is a rollercoaster ride through the spectacular training roads of half the pro peloton.

La Turbie and Col d’Èze aren’t super hard, but they will be tough enough to cause consternation as Pogačar and Co. click through their turbo trainer warm-ups ahead of the stage.

If the GC is still close ahead of this final Sunday, the Tour will see it’s first competitive final since that time trial in 1989 when Greg LeMond usurped Laurent Fignon at the very last.

A twisting, high-speed descent from the Èze and into Nice means nerves could be jangling for every inch of the final 17km of this Tour de France.

All of the “Big 4” are monsters on a time trial bike, and if they’re on form the margins could be tight.

Pogačar will be hoping the race is a done deal by this point.

Five things to know: DP World Tour Qualifying School Final Stage

All you need to know about the Final Stage of DP World Tour Qualifying School as 156 players compete for 25 Tour Cards.

The three-stage competition culminates at INFINITUM from November 10-15, where 156 players will compete over six rounds in a bid to fulfil their DP World Tour dreams.

The Final Stage will consist of six rounds with each player playing two rounds at the Lakes Course and two at the Hills Course at INFINITUM, before a cut is made.

The top 70 and ties will then play the final two rounds at the Lakes Course, competing for the final 25 cards.

What is at stake?

The top 25 and ties will earn DP World Tour playing privileges for 2024, while the others who make the cut will earn a full Challenge Tour card.

For some, it's the chance to earn back status after finishing outside of the top 116 on the Race to Dubai. For others, it's about trying to earn a rookie season on the DP World Tour.

Who is playing?

There are a whole host of recognisable faces hoping to regain their playing rights and others seeking their first season all teeing up at Final Stage this week.

England’s Tom Lewis, a two-time winner on the DP World Tour, comes from the Challenge Tour Grand Finals along with the likes of Darren Fichardt and Steven Brown.

The star studded field also features a raft of past DP World Tour winners, including David Howell, Alex Levy, John Catlin, Kiradech Aphibarnrat, Marc Warren, Alvaro Quiros, Renato Paratore, Joachim B. Hansen, Kristoffer Broberg, Oliver Fisher, Grégory Havret and Richard McEvoy - who won Final Stage in 2013.

As well as seasoned professionals, young hopefuls are also aiming to seize playing privileges for 2024 that made their way to Final Stage either through the Challenge Tour or through First or Second Stage.. Frenchman Martin Couvra won as an amateur on the Challenge Tour this season before turning professional, and he’ll be aiming for a spot in the top 25, as will Zimbabwean Benjamin Follett-Smith who narrowly missed out on earning promotion to the DP World Tour at last week’s Rolex Challenge Tour Grand Final supported by The R&A. Rasmus Neergaard-Petersen is looking to finish an impressive debut season that included two top five finishes on the Challenge Tour, finished tied seventh in the BMW International Open and tied 22nd in the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship last month on the DP World Tour.

Elsewhere, John Axelsen, David Ravetto, Pedro Figueiredo, Sam Hutsby and Garrick Porteous are all in the field trying to earn one of the top 25 cards for a second consecutive year.

INFINITUM, formerly known as Lumine Golf, will host Final Stage of DP World Tour Qualifying School for a fifth time this week, having previously staged the event from 2017-2019 and again in 2022 as Swede Simon Forsström secured a two-stroke victory to become one of 28 players to earn their DP World Tour cards.

The Lakes and The Hills are the two courses which will be played this week, and present two very diffierent challenges. The Lakes course surrounds the lakes and the Sèquia Major wetlands, one of the most important ecosystems in the region, while The Hills course is played between natural pine trees and cliffs, with panoramic sea views.

The resort as a whole surfaces is one of Europe’s most highly-sought after lifestyle and leisure experiences, with world-class golf, modern gastronomy, off-course activities, and a contemporary beach club featuring state-of-the-art facilities, including eight swimming pools, a Tapas Bar, and one of Costa Daurada’s best restaurants.

Sustainability is also at the forefront of INFINITUM resort. All irrigation water comes from the desalination plant, which collects and treats water from neighbouring towns before recycling it. The plant operators receive specialized training to manage the complex treatment process. This system provides significant environmental benefits, as it reduces the discharge of pollutants into the sea. INFINITUM has obtained prestigious environmental certifications, such as the Gold Signature from Audubon and GEO, which require maintaining high environmental standards in all operations.

The Lakes golf course is located within a protected natural area, and to preserve it, the resort controls the use of phytosanitary products on its golf courses. Using recycled water from the desalination plant reduces the resort’s water consumption and contributes to environmental conservation. INFINITUM demonstrates a commitment to responsible and sustainable practices, benefiting the resort and surrounding ecosystems.

Since the inaugural contest in 1976, DP World Tour Qualifying School has proved itself to be a breeding ground that has resulted in a host of Major Champions, World Number Ones and Ryder Cup players.

Colin Montgomerie, Sandy Lyle, Justin Rose and Miguel Ángel Jiménez are just a few European greats to make it through ‘golf’s toughest test’ before going on to taste glory on the world stage.

In 2023, five Qualifying School Graduates earned victories on the DP World Tour. Marcel Siem was the first player to win at the Hero Indian Open, before Nick Bachem stormed to a four-shot victory at the Jonsson Workwear Open. Two months later Simon Forsström, winner of Final Stage last year, earned his maiden Tour title at the Soudal Open. Dan Brown then claimed his first DP World Tour title with a five-stroke triumph at the ISPS Handa World Invitational in August, before Ryo Hisatsune won the Cazoo Open de France in September.

The European Championship, also known as Euro 2024, kicked off on June 14 when host Germany defeated Scotland 5-1 in Munich. Here’s what to know about the monthlong tournament:

Where are the games being played?

The tournament is being held in Germany, with matches in 10 cities: Berlin, Cologne, Dortmund, Duesseldorf, Frankfurt, Gelsenkirchen, Hamburg, Leipzig, Munich and Stuttgart.

When and where is the final?

The final will be played on July 14 at the Olympiastadion in Berlin.

Who are the favorites?

England , France and host Germany were considered among the pre-tournament favorites. England, which hasn’t won a major international tournament since the 1966 World Cup, lost the Euro 2020 final to Italy in a penalty shootout. Spain and Portugal also have strong teams.

How does the tournament work?

The group stage has six groups of four teams. The teams in each group play each other once, with three points for a win, one point for a draw and no points for a loss. The top two teams in each group, as well as the four best-performing third-place teams, advance to the round of 16. At that point, the tournament becomes a straight knockout competition through the quarterfinals, semifinals and final to determine the champion.

Which team is in which group?

Germany, Scotland, Hungary and Switzerland are in Group A.

Spain, Croatia, Italy and Albania are in Group B.

Slovenia, Denmark, Serbia and England are in Group C.

Poland, Netherlands, Austria and France are in Group D.

Belgium, Slovakia, Romania and Ukraine are in Group E.

Turkey, Georgia, Portugal and Czech Republic are in Group F.

Who is the defending champion?

Italy won the last Euros, which were staged in 2021 because the original tournament was postponed for a year because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Italy beat England in the final at Wembley Stadium in a penalty shootout.

Is Cristiano Ronaldo playing?

Yes, the Portuguese great is competing in a record sixth European Championship. Going into the tournament he already held the record for the most appearances at the Euros, with 25, and the most goals, with 14. Ronaldo, 39, won the competition with Portugal in 2016.

Is Erling Haaland playing?

No. The Manchester City striker may be one of the most prolific goal-scorers in world soccer, but his national team, Norway , didn’t qualify for Euro 2024.

Where can I watch Euro 2024?

U.S. viewers can watch Euro 2024 on Fox.

What is the match schedule?

Here’s a list of upcoming matches, with kick-off times listed in local time in Germany and Eastern Standard Time in parenthesis:

Election latest: Senior Tory says bets on date are 'stupid' but seeks to play down scale of scandal

Many more people than the leading Tories already identified are being investigated by the gambling regulator over election betting, Sky News understands. Earlier, James Cleverly told Sunday Morning With Trevor Phillips he has "no reason to believe" any cabinet ministers are involved.

It's an election campaign - and that means political donations have ramped up.

What exactly are the rules on donations? Do they change for elections? Who gets the most money? Why do people donate? And can parties give funds back?

Here, we explain...

Veterans minister Johnny Mercer has tonight offered further details of an "awkward" hustings in Plymouth, after which he claimed his Labour rival was "bloating" his military service.

Mr Mercer, who is standing as the Conservative candidate for the Plymouth Moor View constituency, took aim at his Labour opponent Fred Thomas after the event on Wednesday.

The minister questioned whether the Labour candidate had served in combat missions during his time as a Royal Marine, as had been reported by the Guardian newspaper in 2023.

Labour has said Mr Thomas is unable to discuss much of his role in the armed forces because of its "sensitive" nature.

Now, in a lengthy social media post, Mr Mercer described the event, which he said "descended into anarchy".

In response to Mr Mercer's comments, Labour's shadow defence secretary John Healey said: "The Commanding Officer of the Special Forces Support Group wrote of Fred's integrity and his character. Those words will not have been penned lightly. Mr Mercer should do the right thing and withdraw his deeply disrespectful remarks."

Have you ever taken part in an opinion poll? I was about to say I haven't and then a dim memory surfaced from decades ago of a nice lady with a clipboard asking me questions in the Berkshire town of Pangbourne.

Whether or not your opinions have been sampled, you will have found it impossible to miss coverage of polls during this election campaign.

Reporting of opinion polls has been such a feature of the race that some are complaining about it. The controversy has been inflamed after the dramatic results shown in recent MRP polls,  such as this week's YouGov survey for Sky News .

Critics range from those who argue polls are one-day wonders that take coverage away from the "real issues" to others grumbling that polls distort how people vote, even though they may turn out to be wrong.

In this election, there are at least 18 separate companies publishing voting intention polls. They are busier than ever now the campaign is under way.

Read the rest of Adam's column here:

A flurry of general elections since 2015 has brought an unprecedented churn in our parliamentary representatives.

This year, two in five MPs aren't seeking re-election and the picture for the Conservatives is record-breakingly grim.

An unparalleled total of 23% of Conservative MPs are calling it a day in 2024, more than the previous high of 22% of Tories who quit in 1997, another year of boundary changes.

In contrast, only 15% of Labour MPs are resigning.

There are many reasons MPs quit: from retirement, family commitments and health concerns to career change, abolished constituencies, and the prospect of defeat.

But their decision to depart can reveal much about life in Westminster and have a significant impact on parliament's mix of experience, demographics, and the direction of political parties.

Dr Sofia Collignon, associate professor in Comparative Politics, analyses the churn in our representatives here:

Our politics show hosted by political correspondent Ali Fortescue has just wrapped up for today.

But don't worry - the Politics Hub will be live at 7pm on Sky News every night through the election campaign.

And until then, you can keep up with all the latest right here.

This is the question asked by our political correspondent Darren McCaffrey ...

In 2019, Liz Truss was once again elected MP for South West Norfolk - her fourth election win.

The then international trade secretary and later prime minister romped home to victory with nearly 70% of the vote.

Her constituency was one of the safest in the country.

Now, if the polls are to be believed, it is hanging in the balance.

Watch below as Darren tries to track Ms Truss down:

The full list of candidates in the South West Norfolk constituency is:

• Earl Elvis of East Anglia - The Official Monster Raving Loony Party • James Bagge - Independent • Gary Conway - Heritage Party • Pallavi Devulapalli - Green Party • Lorraine Douglas - Communist Party of Great Britain • Terry Jermy - Labour Party • Toby McKenzie - Reform UK • Josie Ratcliffe - Liberal Democrats • Liz Truss - Conservative and Unionist Party

Crossbench peer Lord Darroch is next up with Ali Fortescue.

She asks if Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer becoming prime minister would change the UK's relationship with the European Union.

"Yes, there will be a reset," he says. "I think that he is hosting a European political community summit in Blenheim House within a couple of weeks of the election."

Lord Darroch says Sir Keir will likely be "the star of that show".

"If he wins as big as some of the polls suggest, this will be a historic margin of victory.

"All the other leaders will want to meet him, and talk to him, and discover how he did it."

He will find himself "almost mobbed" at this summit, Lord Darroch claims.

Our live poll tracker collates the results of opinion surveys carried out by all the main polling organisations - and allows you to see how the political parties are performing in the run-up to the general election.

It shows a drop in support in recent days for Labour and the Tories - with a jump for Reform and the Liberal Democrats.

The Metropolitan Police have opened an investigation into criminal damage after Labour candidate for Walthamstow Stella Creasy's office was attacked.

Photos shared by Ms Creasy on social media appear to show the that the glass of one of the windows and the front door was hit several times.

Detectives Superintendent Dion Brown, one of the senior officers responsible for policing Waltham Forest, said: "It is entirely unacceptable for the office of one of London's prospective parliamentary candidates to be targeted in this way.

"An urgent investigation is under way, and officers have attended the scene and are already following up active lines of enquiry, which will include full analysis of all available CCTV footage.

"The incident is believed to have occurred between 03:10hrs and 03:30hrs on Sunday, 23 June.

"I urge any witnesses or anyone with information to contact police and share what they know.

"Anyone who witnessed the damage being caused, or who has other information, should call police on 101 with the reference 2621/23jun."

Ms Creasy sent a message to the perpetrators herself, writing on social media: "You don't intimidate me and you don't belong in the political process.

"Same as those circulating malicious and false leaflets. Police already on this to find you - will press for the strongest penalties for such an anti-democratic attack and I know Walthamstow won't be cowed or influenced by your violence either."

Here is the full list of candidates standing in the constituency of Walthamstow:

• Imran Arshad, Workers Party of Britain
• Mohammed Ashfaq, independent
• Stella Creasy, Labour Party
• Dan Edelstyn, independent
• Sanjana Madan Mohan Karnani, Conservative Party
