The Challenge Tour Grand Final is the season-ending tour championship on the Challenge Tour. The field currently consists of the top 45 players on the Challenge Tour rankings vying for twenty European Tour cards. It has been played annually since 1995. Initially it was played in Portugal, but has since been held in Cuba, France, Italy, the United Arab Emirates, Oman and Spain.
Since 2010, the Challenge Tour Grand Final has been designated by the Official World Golf Ranking as the Challenge Tour's flagship event. Initially awarding a minimum of 16 ranking points to the winner, compared to 12 for most events, this was increased to 17 points in 2014.
