The Open de Portugal is making a grand comeback to the DP World Tour in 2027, solidifying Portugal's position as a top destination in professional golf. After seven years, this historic tournament returns to the calendar, a true statement by the Tour to honor long-standing events once again. From May 13th to 16th, 2027, tee shots will once again be struck at the legendary Oitavos Dunes Links Golf in Cascais, a course that has hosted this spectacle four times before.
This return is not a brief visit but a clear declaration: The Open de Portugal is part of an exciting three-year agreement from 2027 to 2029. This tournament, first established in 1953, is deeply rooted in golf history and has been held 38 times on the DP World Tour since the Tour's inception in 1972. In 2027, the event will, of course, once again count towards the prestigious Race to Dubai.
Portugal Now Plays at the Top Level
For the DP World Tour, this comeback is a clear signal. Tour CEO Guy Kinnings emphasized that with Portugal and the Singapore Open in 2027, a total of 17 national Opens will be on the global calendar. This is incredibly strong and shows that the Tour values tradition without losing sight of the future. The Oitavos Dunes, which previously hosted in 2005, 2007, 2008, and 2009, are known for their challenging holes and will demand everything from the pros.
A Premier European Swing
The Open de Portugal seamlessly integrates into the European Swing, adding another gem to the Tour's Atlantic coast schedule. This development underscores that the DP World Tour doesn't forget its roots while simultaneously sharpening its profile. For golfers, this means more drama, more excitement, and more top-tier golf in one of Europe's most beautiful regions. While details regarding tickets and ancillary programs are yet to be announced, the anticipation for this classic event is already immense.
