With more suspense than he would have liked, but Rocco Repetto Taylor is now a player on the DP World Tour. On the 18th green at Alcanada, with his heart still racing, he embraced Dani Colomar, his coach and caddie this week. It was the final image of a season he will hardly forget. “It has been a tense week, with frustration, because things weren’t going as expected,” admitted the man from Malaga just after signing his last card of the year on the HotelPlanner Tour.
The joy was evident: “It’s a year I will never forget for the rest of my life. It was my first season as a professional and it went better than I could have ever dreamed,” he confessed with a mix of relief and emotion.
Finally, Repetto finished 18th in the Road to Mallorca, which guarantees him the card for 2026. He never dropped below 19th place in the projections, but the tension was real. A diabolical combination adverse enough to leave him out. It didn’t happen. Golf, this time, was fair to someone who had more than earned it.
Now it’s time to look ahead for a player who, at the start of the year, didn’t even have the Alps Tour card. The 27th of November 2025 will be another date marked in red in an unforgettable year. That day he will make his debut on the DP World Tour, specifically at the BMW PGA Australian Championship, the tournament that will open the new season. It will be his first shot in the elite, the start of a new challenge after a whirlwind 2025.
Additionally, Rocco has already made an important decision: who will carry his bag in this new stage. It will be Calvin John Greschner, his childhood friend, an Englishman settled in Spain since he was young. They have known each other for as long as they can remember, and the Andalusian wanted him to accompany him on his debut.
The same path will be followed by Quim Vidal and Sebas García, the other two Spaniards who have moved up to the DP World Tour through the HotelPlanner Tour. They plan to start their journey in Australia. For Quim, it will be the second tournament of his career on the DP World Tour after the Open de España 2022 where he finished T22. Sebas’s case is that of his return to the elite. He hasn’t wanted to take a holiday; it’s time to enjoy the return to the place he belongs.
Additionally, TenGolf has also learned the path that Pablo Larrazábal and Ángel Hidalgo will follow, two of the players who have not managed to secure a ticket to Abu Dhabi. They, on the other hand, have decided not to travel to Australian lands and will start the season in South Africa, where they will play the Nedbank Golf Challenge and the Alfred Dunhill Championship which are played in consecutive weeks. The 2025 season has not ended, and the 2026 season is beginning to take shape.
