DP World Tour in 2022
Starting in 2022, the European Tour will change its name to DP World Tour with the Dubai-based ports operator and global supply chain/logistics provider named as the circuit’s new naming rights partner.
This new partnership will see the 2022 Race to Dubai include 47 tournaments in 27 countries (seven more events than 2021), with each event carrying a minimum of US$ 2mn in prize money. The tour will include the $8 million Rolex Series events in Abu Dhabi and Dubai, plus the DP World Tour Championship which will become the circuit’s first “eight-figure” event in 2022 when the purse is bolstered from $9 to $10 million.
This deal is reportedly European Tour’s largest commercial partnership where tour members will play for a record US$ 140mn in prize money in 2022.
Together we’re elevating the Tour in every way – including record prize fund & $2m tournament minimum 🌍
