DP World renews historic Tour deal until 2035

November 11, 2025

DP World has announced a major extension of its partnership with the DP World Tour, securing its position as both Title Partner and Official Logistics Partner through to 2035. The new deal marks the largest agreement in the Tour’s history and reinforces both organisations’ shared ambition to continue expanding the reach and appeal of golf worldwide.

Originally established in 2022, the partnership saw the European Tour rebranded as the DP World Tour, a move that has since helped elevate the sport on a global scale. The Tour now spans 42 tournaments across 26 countries, backed by record prize funds and growing global audiences.

Guy Kinnings, Chief Executive Officer of the DP World Tour, said:

“The first stage of our landmark Title Partner relationship has been focused on raising awareness globally of the DP World brand and building a strong pipeline of new business leads for their sector-leading services. Over the past four years, that has been a tremendous success.

“The partnership has also evolved and will see DP World continue to become an integral cog in delivering our global tournament schedule, utilising their supply chain expertise. This is a truly integrated partnership that will continue to deepen over the next decade. This agreement also shows the continued strength of the DP World Tour, which is enjoying growth in our fan base and spectator numbers, as well as our partnership portfolio. DP World’s decision to invest in the DP World Tour for another decade is further proof that the DP World Tour is going from strength to strength.”

Yuvraj Narayan, Group Deputy CEO and Chief Financial Officer of DP World, commented:

“Our partnership with the DP World Tour reflects how sport can connect markets and communities, just as we do through global trade. This long-term investment demonstrates our belief in the Tour’s future and our commitment to making golf more inclusive and sustainable. New events such as the recent DP World India Championship show how we are supporting the game’s growth and accessibility for the long term.”

As part of the renewed agreement, DP World will continue as Title Partner of the DP World Tour Championship in Dubai until 2035 — the season-ending Rolex Series event where the Race to Dubai Champion is crowned. The company will also become an Official Partner to 15 additional tournaments each season, further expanding opportunities to engage fans and communities across key markets.

Building on its success and the enthusiasm of Indian fans, the DP World India Championship will return in 2026, with the ambition to become a regular fixture on the Tour calendar. The event highlights DP World’s shared vision to expand the game’s reach in emerging markets.

Both organisations will continue collaborating on initiatives designed to make golf more accessible and inclusive around the world. Through DP World’s Second Life initiative and its global Clubhouse programme, the company uses its logistics expertise to repurpose shipping containers into training hubs — inspiring the next generation of golfers and leaving a lasting community impact.

DP World’s association with the Tour dates back to 2009, when it first became a presenting partner of the Race to Dubai finale. Since then, the partnership has continued to grow and evolve. The renewed agreement marks the latest step in that journey, connecting the worlds of trade and sport in a long-term commitment to the future of golf.
