The DP World Tour recently announced its extensive 2027 global calendar, showcasing a significant expansion with 42 tournaments set to be held across 24 countries as part of the annual Race to Dubai. This ambitious schedule underscores the tour's dedication to global engagement and highlights the return of several historically significant national open championships.
A key feature of the upcoming season is the reincorporation of two prominent national opens: the Deutsche Bank Singapore Open and the Open de Portugal|Cascais-Lisboa. The Singapore Open, scheduled from April 15-18, will be a part of the Asian Swing, while the Open de Portugal|Cascais-Lisboa, running from May 13-16, will bolster the European Swing. These additions bring the total number of national opens on the 2027 schedule to 17, reinforcing the tour's legacy and appeal.
Furthermore, the Hong Kong Open is set to make its return from October 21-24, marking its first appearance since 2019. Both the Hong Kong Open and the Deutsche Bank Singapore Open will operate under a co-sanctioning agreement with the Asian Tour, a collaboration stemming from a tri-partite partnership established in July that also involves the PGA Tour. This strategic alliance aims to enhance the reach and competitive spirit of these events, with the Hong Kong Open returning to its traditional venue at the Hong Kong Golf Club and the Singapore Open being contested at the acclaimed Sentosa Golf Club.
The Open de Portugal, a tournament with roots tracing back to 1953, will also re-enter the schedule after a hiatus since 2020. This historic event, which has been part of the DP World Tour's itinerary 38 times since its inception in 1972, will be played at the picturesque Oitavos Dunes Links Golf in Cascais in May. The 2027 season will also see adjustments to the dates of major events such as the Amgen Irish Open, FedEx Open de France, and BMW PGA Championship, primarily to accommodate the 2027 Ryder Cup, scheduled from September 17-19 at Adare Manor in Ireland.
The Amgen Irish Open will be held from July 1-4 at The K Club, temporarily joining the Closing Swing. The FedEx Open de France will precede the Ryder Cup, taking place from September 9-12 at Le Golf National, the host venue for the 2018 Ryder Cup. Following the Ryder Cup, the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth Club will run from September 23-26, serving as the third Rolex Series event of 2027. The season will culminate with the DP World Tour playoff events: the Abu Dhabi Championship and the DP World Tour Championship, Dubai, in November.
The comprehensive 2027 schedule of the DP World Tour promises an exciting year for golf enthusiasts, featuring a blend of traditional tournaments and strategic partnerships designed to elevate the global appeal of professional golf. The reintroduction of revered national opens and the careful scheduling around significant international events like the Ryder Cup reflect a dynamic and forward-thinking approach to tour management.
