DP World Tour: 2024 season schedule revealed with new play-off double-header to conclude Race to Dubai

The creation of “three new and distinct phases” on next year’s calendar on the Race to Dubai; number one player to be crowned at end of new-look double-header in November 2024 at DP World Tour Play-Offs

The DP World Tour will feature an increased prize fund and a play-off double-header at the end of the season as part of its new-look schedule for 2024.

Announcing a calendar which features a minimum of 44 tournaments in 24 countries, next year’s season will conclude with two DP World Tour Play-Offs in November in the United Arab Emirates, where the year’s number one player will be crowned.

The calendar features what are described as “three new and distinct phases” on the Race to Dubai.

These three phases are as follows:

Five ‘Global Swings’ from November 2023 to August 2024The ‘Back 9’ – featuring nine of the DP World Tour’s most historic tournaments and national Opens – from September 2024 to October 2024Two DP World Tour Play-Offs – the Abu Dhabi Championship and the DP World Tour Championship, Dubai – in November 2024.

Players will compete for an overall record prize fund of $148.5m (excluding the majors).

“Our 2024 season will see our members come together to compete across a global schedule, with greater opportunities and rewards than ever before,” said Keith Pelley, the DP World Tour’s chief executive.

“The many new and original enhancements we have introduced will guarantee drama and excitement for our fans, our broadcasters and all our stakeholders across the entire season and means, more than ever, that every week counts on the DP World Tour.”

The decision to move the Abu Dhabi Championship from its usual January slot to the penultimate event in November will create a blockbuster end to the season, featureing the leading 70 players on the Race to Dubai Rankings.

The top 50 at the end of that tournament then qualify for the season-ending DP World Tour Championship, Dubai on November 14-17.

Meanwhile, the opening phase of the season will feature a new Pro-Am event, the Dubai Invitational played at Dubai Creek Resort from January 11-14. The Tour is also returning to Bahrain for the first time since 2011 at the Bahrain Championship at the start of February.
