DP World and the DP World Tour have announced an extension of their title partnership through 2035, solidifying one of the most significant agreements in professional golf. The renewed deal ensures that DP World remains both Title Partner and Official Logistics Partner for more than a decade, marking the largest agreement in the Tour’s history.

The original partnership, established in 2022, saw the rebranding of the European Tour to the DP World Tour. Since then, the Tour has expanded to 42 tournaments across 26 countries, featuring record prize funds and a growing global audience. The collaboration has played a central role in positioning golf as a more international and accessible sport.

Guy Kinnings, Chief Executive Officer of the DP World Tour, said the extended partnership reflects both commercial success and operational integration. “DP World’s expertise in global logistics has become essential to our tournament operations,” Kinnings said. “Their renewed investment demonstrates confidence in the Tour’s growth, our fan engagement, and the long-term potential of the game.”

Yuvraj Narayan, Group Deputy Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of DP World, said the extension reinforces the company’s belief in sport as a connector of markets and communities. “This long-term commitment underlines our vision to make golf more inclusive and sustainable,” Narayan said, citing initiatives such as the DP World India Championship, which will return in 2026 with plans to become a regular fixture on the Tour calendar.

As part of the agreement, DP World will remain Title Partner of the DP World Tour Championship in Dubai - the season-ending Rolex Series event that crowns the Race to Dubai Champion - and will serve as Official Partner to an additional 15 tournaments each season.

Both organizations will continue joint programs that broaden access to golf, including DP World’s Second Life initiative and global Clubhouse programme, which refurbish equipment and repurpose shipping containers into community facilities.

DP World’s association with the Tour began in 2009 as a presenting partner of the Race to Dubai finale. The renewed partnership represents the latest phase in a long-term collaboration linking global trade and professional sport.
