TP Tour Series gears up for winter climax

The TP Tour is heading for an exciting climax with the season-ending Grand Final set to begin at Bearwood Lakes on November 6.

The Grand Final, open to the leading six teams on the Elite Pro Am roster, is the culmination of a six-event series running alongside the professional schedule.

The final professional-only tournament of the season takes place at The Buckinghamshire on October 21.

The winner will earn an invite to the Afrasia Golf Masters, which takes place at the Ernie Els-designed Four Seasons in Mauritius from December 3-7.

The tournament boasts the likes of European Tour winners Gregory Havret and the Belgian Bomber Nicolas Colsaerts as past winners.

The penultimate event of the professional TP Tour Series takes place at Royal Ashdown Forest from October 16-17.

The winner of the tournament will earn a free place in the season finale, with the top 20 finishers guaranteed a spot in the event at The Buckinghamshire.

The most recent event of the TP Tour season - a 30-team Autumn Betterball tournament - took place at North Hants Golf Club on October 8.

The penultimate group of Mark Laskey and Scott Fallon made a combined eight birdies and an eagle to record a 10-under-par 60 for a two-shot victory.
