Golf Nazionale to Host the 2025 Alps Tour Grand Final.

Sutri, September 7^th 2025– We are proud to announce that the 10^th edition of the Alps Tour Grand Final will be held from October 16^th– 18^th 2025 at Golf Nazionale in Sutri, located just north of Rome, Italy.

For the first time in its history, the prestigious season-ending tournament will be hosted at this venue, marking a significant milestone in its legacy.

“Golf Nazionale, the official course of the Italian Golf Federation, has hosted several important professional tour events in recent years, and the opportunity to include the Alps Tour Grand Final is certainly an additional source of great pride. As President of Golf Nazionale, I am confident that the course and all the facilities we will provide to the finalist players will be fully prepared to ensure a high-quality standard for this prestigious event. It will be a pleasure to welcome all participants and to collaborate with the Alps Tour to guarantee the best possible outcome for the tournament,” said Alessandro Rogato, President of Golf Nazionale.

“I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to the President of the Italian Golf Federation, Mr. Cristiano Cerchiai, and the entire Federation, as well as the President of Golf Nazionale, Mr. Alessandro Rogato, for their gracious hospitality in hosting our 2025 Grand Final at this remarkable venue. The longstanding support of the Italian Golf Federation for the Alps Tour has been invaluable in advancing professional golf, and we are truly grateful for their ongoing dedication. It is a true honor to compete on such a distinguished course, and we look forward to seeing how our players will embrace the challenge. We are proud to be part of this historic event and anticipate a week marked by great competition and sportsmanship.” said Estelle Richard, Alps Tour Chief Executive & Operations Director.

“I’m very pleased that the 2025 Alps Tour Grand Final will be played at the beautiful Golf Nazionale in Italy,” said Alessandro Pia, Deputy Director of Tour Operations and Tournament Director. “It is widely regarded as one of the most technical courses in the country. It has been selected by the Italian Golf Federation as the venue for the professional qualification exams, and by the HotelPlanner Tour for both Q-School Stage 1 and regular-season tournaments. In 2025, the HotelPlanner Tour will once again return to this exceptional venue just two weeks before the Grand Final. With typically ideal weather in Rome in mid-October, I’m confident that course conditions will be outstanding. The top 50 Alps Tour players who qualify for the final tournament of the season will need to bring their very best to take on the challenge of this iconic venue, the perfect stage to conclude a great season — and I’m sure all the players will love it.”

Competitors will play 54 holes with no cut, vying for a total prize fund of €55,000 and 60,000 Order of Merit points. The winner will receive €10,000 along with 9,500 Order of Merit points. In case of a tie after 54 holes, there will be a sudden-death play-off to determine the tournament winner.

At the conclusion of the tournament, the top five players in the Order of Merit standings will earn a Playing Category on the HotelPlanner Tour for the 2026 season.

The tournament is open to the top 50 professional players in the 2025 Alps Tour Order of Merit following the Parma Alps Open, as well as ranked amateur members within the “Top 50.” Eligible players must have participated in at least 5 events in 2 different countries in addition to Italy (the venue of the Grand Final will count as the third country if Italy is not in the previous 2 already played) during the season. There is no reserve list for this event; therefore, if a player in the Top 50 withdraws, their place will not be filled by the next player down the Order of Merit.

The Course

Recognized as one of Italy’s premier championship venues, Golf Nazionale is set to host the final tournament of the 2025 season. Nestled in the picturesque region of Upper Lazio, the par-72 layout spans 6,482 meters, delivering a fitting finale to an exciting year of competition.

Renowned as one of the most challenging and technically demanding courses in Italy, and among the toughest in Europe, it offers a true test for players of all levels. Designed by the acclaimed team of George and Jim Fazio, along with David Mezzacane, the course is set amidst ancient oak forests and blends seamlessly into the natural landscape.

Over the years, it has hosted numerous prestigious tournaments beyond those previously mentioned, including the 1991 World Cup, an edition of the Ladies Italian Open (LET), the 2023 Junior Ryder Cup, and the DP World Tour Q-School Stage 1.

Renowned for its strategic layout and immaculate conditioning, it promises an exciting and competitive setting for the season-ending event of the 2025 schedule.
