Hong Kong Open returns to the DP World Tour

The return of three historic tournaments – two in Asia and one in Europe – headline next year's DP World Tour’s global schedule.

Two national opens – the Singapore Open (April 15-18) and the Portugal Open (May 13-16) – will feature in the Asian swing and European swing respectively.

Also returning to the schedule from October 21-24 is the Hong Kong Open at the Hong Kong Golf Club. The Hong Kong Open and the Singapore Open will both be co-sanctioned with the Asian Tour as part of the new tri-partite partnership, including the PGA Tour, which was agreed in July.

One of Asia’s most historic tournaments, the Hong Kong Open returns to the DP World Tour’s schedule for the first time since 2019. Established in 1959, the event was co-sanctioned by the DP World Tour and Asian Tour 18 times in total after first featuring on the DP World Tour’s schedule in 2002.

Rory McIlroy, winner of the event 15 years ago, said: “I think it’s great with this partnership with the Asian Tour again, we have the Hong Kong Open back.”

The Hong Kong Ggolf Club said: “Like 2011 champion Rory McIlroy, we’re very pleased and excited that next year’s Hong Kong Open will once again be co-sanctioned by both the DP World Tour and the Asian Tour.”

Similarly, the Singapore Open is one of Asia’s most prestigious national opens, having been established in 1961. The event was previously co-sanctioned with the DP World Tour between 2009 and 2012 and will be played at Sentosa Golf Club.

In total, the global schedule will feature 42 tournaments in 24 different countries as part of the season-long Race to Dubai. Additionally, along with the 2027 Ryder Cup, team match play will also feature at the start of the calendar year, with the Team Cup taking place from January 15-17.

Next year will see a five-stop early season Asian swing comprising the Singapore Open, two events in China – China Classic in Hainan (March 5-8) and China Open in Shanghai (April 22-25) – Turkish Open in Antalya (April 29-May 2) and one event to be confirmed (March 18-21).

Asia will also be the focus in October with the Hong Kong Open following on from the DP World India Championship (October 14-17). According to the released schedule there’s another event ‘to be confirmed’ the week of October 28-31.
