The 2025 DP World Tour features a record 42 events taking place across at least 26 countries, with a historic $153 million prize fund available outside of the four men’s majors[1][2][4]. The Tour continues the ‘Global Swings’ format, dividing the calendar into five swings from November to August, followed by the Back 9 and concluding with two DP World Tour Playoffs[1][2][4].

This year welcomes the return of the Turkish Open (at Regnum Carya Golf & Spa Resort, May 8–11) and the Austrian Alpine Open (at Gut Altentann Golf Club, May 29–June 1) for the first time since 2019 and 2021, respectively[4]. New venues also star, including the DP World India Championship in October, held at Delhi Golf Club for a $4 million purse—the largest ever for a tour event in India[2].

The Rolex Series remains vital, with tournaments like the Hero Dubai Desert Classic, Genesis Scottish Open, BMW PGA Championship, Abu Dhabi Championship, and the DP World Tour Championship offering elevated purses and Ryder Cup points[1][2].

Other notable changes include the relocation of the Open de France from Le Golf National (for the first time in more than 20 years), while the European Open, Andalucia Masters, and Scandinavian Mixed event do not feature on the 2025 schedule[1].

Key results from the Opening Swing and December events:

  • BWM Australian PGA Championship (Brisbane, Australia): Winner – Elvis Smylie
  • ISPS Handa Australian Open (Melbourne, Australia): Winner – Ryggs Johnston
  • Nedbank Golf Challenge (Sun City, South Africa): Winner – Johannes Veerman
  • Alfred Dunhill Championship (Malelane, South Africa): Winner – Shaun Norris
  • AfrAsia Bank Mauritius Open (Mauritius): Winner – John Parry

In the DP World Tour Championship, stars like Rory McIlroy, Tyrrell Hatton, Haotong Li, Kristoffer Reitan, and Marco Penge are confirmed to headline the finale in Dubai (Nov 13–16), with the Harry Vardon Trophy to be decided among the top Race to Dubai contenders[3].

Among individual tournaments, the Amgen Irish Open in 2025 announced a prize pool of $6 million, with $1,020,000 awarded to the winner. The event saw Rory McIlroy and other top names leading the field and paid out to all professionals who made the cut, down to the top 65 and ties[7].
