DP World Tour: BMW PGA Championship gets new date for 2027 due to Ryder Cup as significant schedule changes announced

The DP World Tour has announced a new date for the 2027 BMW PGA Championship, as it unveiled a series of big schedule changes for next year's calendar.

The tour also confirmed the return of three national opens, a significant step in its plans to grow, with DP World Tour CEO Guy Kinnings confirming the series will now host 17 national opens across the 2027 season.

After a seven-year absence, the Hong Kong Open will return to the DP World Tour calendar, and the Deutsche Bank Singapore Open has also been added back to the schedule.

Meanwhile, the tour has also confirmed the Open de Portugal | Cascais-Lisboa will return to the calendar.

The DP World Tour has also made a series of adjustments to its Closing Swing and Back 9, with the 2027 Ryder Cup to take place at Adare Manor between September 17 and 19.

The BMW PGA Championship will now be pushed back to September 23-26, a week later than its usual spot in the second week of the month to accommodate the biennial tournament.

The Amgen Irish Open, which was held in the first week of September in 2026, will be played at The K Club between July 1-4.

The FedEx Open de France will also get a new date, between September 9-12 at Le Golf National, and will precede the Ryder Cup.

It is set to be an exciting year for the DP World Tour, which will host 42 tournaments in 24 different countries as part of the Race to Dubai season points race.

Shane Lowry, who won last week's Amgen Irish Open, stressed the importance of having these events on the DP World Tour Calendar.

"National Opens are huge, whether it's the French Open or the Spanish Open or around the world," Lowry said, ahead of the BMW PGA Championship. "It's a nice feather in your cap to say you've won a National Open."

DP World Tour CEO Kinnings said: "The return of historic national Opens in Singapore and Portugal means 17 prestigious national Opens will feature on our 2027 global schedule, along with other popular international championships and events played around the world.

"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. It is a schedule that offers incredible international opportunities for existing and new players and one which will appeal to our fans globally."
