DP World Tour tournament scheduling

In late August 2026, the DP World Tour remained the only major professional golf tour with active competition, hosting the Omega European Masters with defending champion Thriston Lawrence. During this period, other major tours, including the PGA TOUR, LPGA, and LIV, were in scheduled off-periods.

By mid-September 2026, the tour’s focus shifted to the BMW PGA Championship at the Wentworth Club in England, which featured a $9 million purse and a field including Rory McIlroy and Jon Rahm. The event’s Pro-Am saw notable celebrity participation, with McIlroy’s team securing a significant win.

The tour also released its 2027 schedule, detailing an expansion to 42 tournaments across 24 countries. This future calendar includes the return of the Deutsche Bank Singapore Open, the Hong Kong Open, and the Open de Portugal at Oitavos Dunes Links Golf. Spain is set to host two events: the Estrella Damm Catalunya Championship in Girona and the Spanish Open in Madrid. Scheduling adjustments have also been made to accommodate the Ryder Cup in Ireland.

Amidst these scheduling updates, professional golfer Matt Fitzpatrick has raised security concerns regarding the season-ending DP World Tour Championship in Dubai. Citing the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, Fitzpatrick stated he is ‘not that comfortable’ with traveling to the region, noting his perspective has changed since becoming a father. Tour officials are currently assessing safety protocols for the final play-off events in Abu Dhabi and Dubai.
