The DP World Tour has published its 2027 global schedule, announcing the return of three historic national Opens and a rearranged calendar that organisers say enhances international opportunities for players.
Historic tournaments come back to the calendar
Among the notable reinstatements, the Hong Kong Open will reappear on the circuit at the Hong Kong Golf Club in October, having last featured on the DP World Tour schedule in 2019. The Deutsche Bank Singapore Open, established in 1961, is also set to return and is due to be played at Sentosa Golf Club.
The Tour confirmed that the Open de Portugal | Cascais‑Lisboa will rejoin the European swing for the first time since 2020. The Portuguese event, first staged in 1953, will be held at Oitavos Dunes Links Golf in May.
Partnerships and calendar positioning
Both the Singapore and Hong Kong tournaments are scheduled to form part of the Tour’s Asian Swing and its later Back 9, respectively. They will be co‑sanctioned with the Asian Tour under a three‑way partnership agreed in July that also includes the PGA Tour.
“As Golf’s Global Tour, we are proud to provide this unique platform for our members to showcase their talents as they compete to put their own name alongside some of the iconic champions of our sport,” said Guy Kinnings, the DP World Tour’s chief executive.
The tour said the reinstatements strengthen a calendar that will feature 17 national Opens in 2027, alongside other international championships and events staged worldwide.
Implications for players and fans
Officials framed the changes as offering enhanced international opportunities for existing and new players, and as having broad appeal for spectators across the tour’s global footprint. For professionals, restored national Opens can mean additional chances to secure ranking points, prize money and qualification routes that matter for season‑long standings.
- Hong Kong Open — returns October, Hong Kong Golf Club (last played on DP World Tour in 2019)
- Deutsche Bank Singapore Open — returns to Sentosa Golf Club; founded 1961
- Open de Portugal | Cascais‑Lisboa — returns to Oitavos Dunes Links Golf in May (not held since 2020)
There are also scheduling adjustments across the wider 2027 agenda as the Tour balances European and Asian segments of the season. The moves reflect longer‑term efforts by the DP World Tour to coordinate events with partner organisations and to restore established national championships that resonate with fans and sponsors.
Why the returns matter
National Opens carry heritage value for professional golf and frequently act as marquee events within regional swings. The Singapore and Portuguese returns add national stature to the European and Asian phases of the schedule, while Hong Kong’s reinstatement marks a restoration of a long‑standing stop in East Asia.
| Event | Location | Notable fact |
|---|---|---|
| Hong Kong Open | Hong Kong Golf Club | Last on DP World Tour in 2019 |
| Deutsche Bank Singapore Open | Sentosa Golf Club | Established 1961 |
| Open de Portugal | Cascais‑Lisboa | Oitavos Dunes Links Golf | Absent from schedule since 2020 |
While the announcement focuses on the return of historic competitions, the tour will continue to publish further operational and commercial details as event preparations proceed. Observers will watch how the tri‑party alignment between the DP World Tour, the PGA Tour and the Asian Tour develops in practice, particularly around co‑sanctioning, ranking points and player access across hemispheres.
The reinstated national Opens will be part of a global schedule that the DP World Tour says is designed to provide both competitive opportunities for members and attractions for a worldwide fanbase.
