The DP World Tour is shaking up its 2027 calendar significantly, placing the Irish Open in July for the first time, a direct consequence of the Ryder Cup being held on Irish soil. The legendary event moves from its usual September slot to July 1-4 at The K Club in Straffan, County Kildare, as Ireland will host the continental classic in the same year.
This strategic move is part of extensive changes for the 2027 season, which will feature a total of 42 events across 24 countries. For golfers and fans, this means a packed schedule and the return of some familiar faces. Among them are the Hong Kong Open, the Singapore Open, and the Open de Portugal, which will truly strengthen the Tour's offerings again.
Introducing the 2027 DP World Tour global tournament schedule 🌍 ◾️ Three historic tournaments return ◾️ Hong Kong Open and Deutsche Bank Singapore Open co-sanctioned with Asian Tour ◾️ New dates for Amgen Irish Open, FedEx Open de France and BMW PGA Championship ◾️ 42
Summer Thriller on the Green
With its new date, the Irish Open is now the first tournament in the DP World Tour's "Closing Swing" series, positioning itself controversially: two weeks after the US Open and two weeks before The Open at St Andrews. This could serve as a perfect warm-up for the year's final Major for top players. However, insiders know that such a crowded calendar can also mean that not every superstar will be competing. In recent years, competition on the green has always been fierce, and 2027 will be no different.
Full Throttle to Dubai
The entire 2027 season will run like clockwork from the start of the Australian PGA Championship in Sydney (November 26-29, 2026) to the grand finale, the DP World Tour Championship in Dubai (November 11-14, 2027). The Irish Open is just one piece in the exciting puzzle the Tour is assembling for the coming years. The French Open and the BMW PGA Championship also have to vacate their traditional slots due to the Ryder Cup. Anyone already dreaming of next year certainly has reason to celebrate.
