DP World Tour announces its 2025 global tournament schedule

The return of the Austrian and Turkish Opens, as well as a host of new tournament venues, headline the 2025 DP World Tour global schedule which is announced today.

Featuring a minimum of 42 Race to Dubai tournaments in a minimum of 26 different countries, the schedule will see DP World Tour members compete for a record total prize fund of $153million outside the Major Championships.

For the second consecutive season, the schedule will comprise three distinct phases, beginning with five ‘Global Swings’ followed by the ‘Back 9’, with the season then culminating with the ‘DP World Tour Play-Offs’ in November 2025.

The Turkish Open, which will be played at Regnum Carya Golf & Spa Resort from May 8-11, marks the DP World Tour’s return to Turkey for the first time in six years, following seven previous editions of the tournament played consecutively from 2013 to 2019. The Austrian Alpine Open presented by SalzburgerLand, at Gut Altentann Golf Club from May 29 – June 1, also sees the Tour return to Austria for the first time since 2021. It will be the 23rd edition overall of Austria’s national Open, which first featured on the schedule when Bernhard Langer won the title 1990.

Both tournaments will feature in the ‘European Swing’ – one of five Global Swings which form Phase One of the DP World Tour’s global schedule again in 2025.

Meanwhile, as previously announced, the Nedbank Golf Challenge, in South Africa, also returns to the schedule and will be the middle event of the ‘Opening Swing’ at the end of the current 2024 calendar year. The Opening Swing begins with the season-launching BMW Australian PGA Championship at Royal Queensland Golf Club in Brisbane from November 21-24, 2024.

Each Global Swing has its own identity and its own champion, with exemptions into Rolex Series events and the second phase of the season – ‘the Back 9’ – also available.
