The PGA Tour and the Europe-based DP World Tour announce a multi-year partnership with the Asian Tour that takes effect immediately. Multiple outlets report the agreement creates a more formal pathway for leading Asian Tour players, with the partnership set to run for at least the next three years. The deal is described as reshaping the professional golf “ecosystem” by linking player development across tours.
Reuters-linked reporting indicates the Asian Tour previously served as an important feeder for LIV Golf, and the new arrangement is therefore viewed as a significant shift in golf’s competitive landscape. CBS Sports and other outlets characterize the partnership as broad in impact, while The Athletic and other sources add schedule-related details: the agreement includes adding co-sanctioned events to the DP World Tour calendar in future seasons. Specifically, The Athletic reports at least two co-sanctioned events are planned for the DP World Tour in 2027, 2028 and 2029.
Overall, the sources agree the partnership strengthens cooperation between the tours and provides clearer opportunities for top Asian Tour members under a defined, multi-year structure.
