Laying down the Law: English golfer's comeback fuels DP World Tour ambitions
As the Road to Mallorca heats up, Englishman David Law has made a compelling case for his return to golf's top flight.
Law, who lost his DP World Tour playing rights last season, surged six spots to third in the Road to Mallorca Rankings after clinching a pivotal victory on the Challenge Tour. With the latter half of the season approaching, his eyes are firmly set on reclaiming his spot among Europe's elite.
'I am really determined to get my DP World Tour card back,' said Law after the win. 'This has given me huge confidence. One of my goals was to be in contention more and I've managed to do that.'
For Law, the competition may be intense, but the fundamentals remain unchanged.
'The standard is incredibly high out here, but the feeling of being in contention doesn't change whether you're on the DP World Tour or the HotelPlanner Tour,' he explained. 'I want to keep putting myself in uncomfortable situations. That's how you grow.'
While Law took the trophy, the tournament leaderboard was tightly packed. Compatriot Ryan Lumsden, Denmark's Victor Sidal Svendsen, Austria's Maximilian Steinlechner, and England's Jack Floydd finished just two strokes behind at 20-under-par.
Steinlechner's final-round 63 propelled him to the top of the Road to Mallorca standings, overtaking Italy's Renato Paratore. South African Daniel van Tonder now sits in fourth place, just ahead of England's rising star Joshua Berry.
Middle East Implications
With the DP World Tour headquartered in Dubai, the Road to Mallorca has added resonance for UAE golf fans. Law's comeback story underscores how the Tour serves as a global proving ground for talent, from Scotland to South Africa and beyond.
The surge of international players aiming for DP World Tour status echoes the growing appetite for competitive golf across the Middle East, where events like the Hero Dubai Desert Classic and the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship showcase elite competition on a global stage.
