The 2026 European Tour, titled as the 2026 DP World Tour for sponsorship reasons, is the 55th season of the European Tour, the main professional golf tour in Europe since its inaugural season in 1972.
It is the fifth season of the tour under a title sponsorship agreement with DP World that was announced in November 2021.[1]
Changes for 2026
[edit]The full schedule was announced in September 2025.[2][3] As part of the announcement, it was revealed that a new event, the Estrella Damm Catalunya Championship, would be added to the schedule, alongside the confirmation that Trump International, Doonbeg would host the 2026 Amgen Irish Open.[4] Several tournaments held in 2025 were not included in the schedule announcement: the Ras Al Khaimah Championship, the Porsche Singapore Classic, the Barracuda Championship (which was also not announced as part of the 2026 PGA Tour schedule)[5] and the Nexo Championship.
