Kenya will once again host top-tier international golf following the official inclusion of the Magical Kenya Open in the 2027 DP World Tour global calendar.

The next edition is scheduled to take place from February 18 to 21, 2027, forming a key early leg of the tour’s global schedule.

Kenya Open Golf Limited (KOGL) director Patrick Obath highlights the event as a major platform for national visibility, with an expected global broadcast audience exceeding 600 million viewers.

"This opportunity reaffirms that the Magical Kenya Open can no longer be defined solely by scores and leaderboards, but by the value it brings at the intersection of sport, business, culture, tourism, sustainability, and positioning the country into a global community," said Obath.

The Magical Kenya Open joined the main European Tour schedule in 2019, following a long run on the second-tier Challenge Tour from 1991 to 2018

The 2027 DP World Tour features 42 tournaments across 24 countries as part of the Race to Dubai, highlighted by the return of three historic national events —the Deutsche Bank Singapore Open, the Open de Portugal, and the Hong Kong Open.

The schedule also accommodates adjustments ahead of the 2027 Ryder Cup, which will be held at Adare Manor in Ireland from September 17 to 19, 2027.

"The return of historic national Opens in Singapore and Portugal means 17 prestigious national Opens will feature on our 2027 global schedule, along with other popular international championships and events played around the world," said Guy Kinnings, Chief Executive of the DP World Tour.

"As Golf's Global Tour, we are proud to provide this unique platform for our members to showcase their talents as they compete to put their own name alongside some of the iconic champions of our sport."

The full season will wrap up in November 2027 with the back-to-back DP World Tour Play-Offs in Abu Dhabi and Dubai.
