With a new year under way, players and fans alike can look forward to the DP World Tour making visits to a host of new venues in 2026.
There are six first-time venues confirmed to host events on the 42-event Race to Dubai schedule, with the potential for others to be announced.
The Opening Swing – the first five events of the season – were all staged at venues which have previously served as the backdrop to DP World Tour-sanctioned tournaments.
Bringing the Asian Swing - the third of five Global Swings - to a close from late April to early May at the Turkish Airlines Open, Regnum Carya's National Golf Club is set to be the first new course in 2026.
Host of this year’s US PGA Championship, Aronimink Golf Club will follow shortly as the Major Championship returns to the Pennsylvania venue for the first time since 1962, prior to the DP World Tour's formation.
It is the first of two new venues to stage events during the European Swing, with Golfclub Kitzbühel-Schwarzsee-Reith hosting the Austrian Alpine Open presented by Kitzbühel Tirol later that month following its return to the schedule last season.
A further two first-time venues are in the diary during the Closing Swing, including golf’s global Tour making a first visit to the Dominican Republic for the Corales Puntacana Championship at Puntacana Resort & Club.
Held in the same week as The Open – the final Major Championship of the year – it provides an opportunity for DP World Tour members to compete on the PGA TOUR.
After a month-long summer break, the Danish Golf Championship will take place at the Jack Nicklaus designed Great Northern in Kerteminde for the first time.
There is a new venue too for the Amgen Irish Open, with Trump International Golf Links Ireland, Doonbeg, taking on staging duties for the first time in September during the Back 9.
Additionally, while not new to the DP World Tour, Mission Hills will see play at the Hainan Classic take place across two of its courses – Blackstone and Vintage.
Last year, the inaugural edition was played solely across Blackstone, but the tournament is now using a pro-am format similar to the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship, with the first two days alternating between both courses before the weekend action is over Blackstone.
