Which tour is listed for the 2026 Open alongside the PGA Tour and Japan Golf Tour?

The 2026 Open lists the DP World Tour alongside the PGA Tour and Japan Golf Tour. These are the professional tours associated with the championship’s official tour designation.

The DP World Tour is the European-based men’s professional golf tour, formerly known as the European Tour. It became the DP World Tour in 2022 after a title sponsorship agreement. The PGA Tour is headquartered in the United States, while the Japan Golf Tour operates primarily in Japan and is one of Asia’s leading professional circuits.

The Open Championship is organised by The R&A and is one of golf’s four men’s major championships. The 2026 edition is scheduled for 16–19 July at Royal Birkdale Golf Club in Southport. Although many tours and circuits may be represented by players in the field, the listed tour designation specifically names these three organisations.

A common mix-up is confusing the DP World Tour with the Asian Tour or LIV Golf. Those organisations may include players who compete in the Open, but they are not the tours listed in this 2026 championship entry.
