The PGA Tour and the DP World Tour already had a “strategic alliance.” It's now even stronger.
Starting in 2023 and running through 2035, the PGA Tour will increase its investment in European Tour Productions — which creates and distributes DP World Tour programming — from 15 percent to 40 percent, allowing the European tour to increase its prize pools. Plus, the top 10 finishers in each season’s DP World Tour rankings will receive full PGA Tour membership if they are not exempt already, giving them a clearer path into the more lucrative American tour.
Previously, golfers could qualify for full PGA Tour membership only by winning an American tournament or a major tournament, by playing well on the Korn Ferry Tour or by finishing in the top 125 of the PGA Tour’s season-long FedEx Cup points standings.The tours stopped short of calling the modified partnership a merger, with PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan describing it as “a natural extension. … We’re on a journey here together. … This was the right step at the right time.
