Spanish term or phrase: bajará el telón del circuito
Mi texto hace referencia al último evento del calendario de torneos del Circuito Europeo de golf. Contexto:

"(La localidad de XXX) ***bajará el telón del Circuito*** en Europa, por segundo año consecutivo, con la celebración del (nombre del evento). Será la última cita del calendario internacional que se dispute en el continente..."

A ser posible quisiera conservar el símil aunque no sé si suena forzado en inglés.
Había pensado algo como "will stage the final act", pero no lo veo claro.
Mil gracias por la ayuda

HERE ARE SOME OTHER OPTIONS FOR YOU TO THINK ABOUT:
**The curtain falls**, the performance closes.

**To draw the curtain**, to close it over an object, or to remove it; hence:
(a) To hide or to disclose an object.
(b) **To commence or close a performance.**

***To drop the curtain***, to end the tale, or close the performance. [1913 Webster] (MAYBE A BIT OUTDATED THOUGH?)

agree  James A. Walsh: The "curtain" most definitely needs to be "drawn" down here, as opposed to being "brought" down! Quite a difference, you know!

will bring the tour in Europe to a close


Explanation:
The Circuito Europeo de Golf is the European Tour. It says, "in Europe", because it then moves on to the Middle East, with the final in Dubai I believe.

agree  Charles Davis: "Bring down the curtain" works perfectly and is exactly the right metaphor (I'm not sure about your references, but there are plenty of good ones out there). Theatrical curtains are brought down, not drawn.

  -> thanks Charles, yea refs just to show use of expressions in similar context, ie. final stage, curtains brought down
