Get ready to mark your calendars, golf fans, because the Singapore Open is officially back on the DP World Tour circuit in 2027 after a whopping 14-year absence! This isn’t just a minor schedule tweak. We’re talking about a major comeback for an event established way back in 1961, now set to be played at the iconic Sentosa Golf Club in April. It’s a massive statement about where professional golf is headed.

The Alliance Is Delivering Big Time

This huge news isn’t happening in a vacuum. It comes directly from the DP World Tour’s fresh collaboration with the Asian Tour, a partnership that’s clearly already paying off in a huge way. Remember that strategic alliance announced in July, spanning all the way through 2029, involving the PGA Tour, DP World Tour, and Asian Tour? Well, this is it. These aren’t just empty promises about “commercial and playing opportunities” or “a path for Asian Tour members to join European circuits.” This is real, tangible action, showing that alliance is already delivering on its goals. Alongside Singapore, we’re seeing the Hong Kong Open also make its triumphant return to the European tour in October after an eight-year break. And let’s not forget Portugal’s national open, coming back to the calendar in May as part of the European Swing after seven years away. That’s three significant events rejoining the fold, proving this alliance means serious business.

Ryder Cup Forces Big Schedule Plays

Even with all these exciting returns, the DP World Tour has some big chess pieces to move around its most anticipated events. The Ryder Cup, set to electrify Ireland from September 17-19, is clearly a massive draw. So massive, in fact, that it’s forcing a shake-up for three other major tournaments on the calendar. We’ll see the Irish Open switch its spot to July. Meanwhile, the French Open and the flagship BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth are going to sandwich the Ryder Cup, playing out in the weeks on either side of that huge international showdown. It just shows you the level of coordination required to put together a truly global schedule, one that, by the way, will feature a staggering 42 tournaments across 24 different countries in 2027. This tour is seriously global, folks!

What a year 2027 is shaping up to be for the DP World Tour! With these major events returning and a truly global footprint of 42 tournaments across 24 countries, we’re looking at an expanded, more connected world of golf than ever before. Get ready for some incredible action and talent showcased across the globe.
