Our commitment to environmental responsibility

We are the only professional golf Tour to commit to achieving net zero carbon by 2040 and we are ingraining best practice into our day-to-day operations to achieve this. We are also rolling out innovative energy efficient technologies, such as solar and hydrogen solutions, at our events – with our flagship Rolex Series tournaments acting as key test beds. In 2021, the Tour become a signatory to the United Nations Sports for Climate Action Framework.

We are also establishing a credible leadership position by finding ways of share our learnings with the wider sports industry, our tournament suppliers, and also our fans - who will play an important role in getting us to net zero.

Our latest Green Drive strategy was launched in March 2026 and is being delivered with support from the GEO Foundation for Sustainable Golf (GEO) - a non-profit organisation dedicated to inspiring, supporting and recognising sustainability in golf.

The updated strategy, which is an update on the previous strategy launched in 2021, is centred around four key impact priorities:

• Nature: The protection, restoration and promotion of habitats and biodiversity. As part of this, the Tour has become the first golf Tour to become a signatory of the Sports for Nature Framework.

• Resources: Efficiency and circularity of water, energy and materials.

• Climate: Emissions reduction, adaption, and net zero transition.

• Communities: Supporting health and wellbeing in the communities the Tour visits around the world each season.

The strategy also includes a revised forward action plan, with accompanying targets, that focuses on four implementation areas:

• Organisational Leadership: Delivering more deeply in activities we most directly control across operations, governance, procurement and HR.

• Responsible Championships: Staging and sanctioning ever more responsible and sustainable championships with a lower environmental footprint and higher value to nature and communities.

• Innovative Partnerships: Building purpose and innovation into international and regional partnerships, sponsorships and supplier agreements to drive wider multipliers across the golfing ecosystem.

• Wider Influence: Strengthening media and athlete engagement to generate greater reach and awareness across a global fan base.
