The '''Rolex 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.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.owgr.com/about |title=How the ranking evolved |publisher=Official World Golf Ranking |access-date=18 November 2020}}</ref>
