The 2024 European Tour, titled as the 2024 DP World Tour for sponsorship reasons, was the 53rd season of the European Tour, the main professional golf tour in Europe since its inaugural season in 1972.
It was the third season of the tour under a title sponsorship agreement with DP World that was announced in November 2021.
Changes for 2024
When the 2024 schedule was announced in August 2023, there were many changes from previous seasons, including:
The calendar was split into three phases: the "Global Swings", the "Back 9" and the "DP World Tour Play-Offs".
There are five global swings: the "Opening Swing", the "International Swing", the "Asian Swing", the "European Swing" and the "Closing Swing". Each swing has its own mini Order of Merit, with the champion of each winning US$200,000. The swings also serve as a qualification route for the Rolex Series and Back 9 events.
The Back 9 consists of nine events in Europe, including several national opens and beginning with the Betfred British Masters.
The season-ending "DP World Tour Playoffs" consists of two events: the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship and the DP World Tour Championship. The top 70 in the Race to Dubai Rankings qualify for the playoffs, with the top 50 in the rankings after the first event qualifying for the Tour Championship.
Two new tournaments were added to the calendar for 2024: the Dubai Invitational and the Bahrain Championship. The Volvo China Open also returned to the schedule, having not been played on the European Tour since 2019 due to restrictions in place during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Several tournaments held in 2023 were not included in the initial announcement: the WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play, the Thailand Classic, the Hero Indian Open, the ISPS Handa World Invitational, the Commercial Bank Qatar Masters and the Barbasol Championship, for which a replacement event was to be announced at a later date. Additionally, a change of dates for the Nedbank Golf Challenge meant it would not be part of the 2024 season, but was scheduled to return as one of the opening events of the 2025 season. The Hero Indian Open and the Commercial Bank Qatar Masters were later added to the schedule.
In April 2024, the tour announced that Genesis Motor had become a title partner of the tour. As part of this deal, the Korea Championship, which had been played in 2023 and was due to be played in April 2024, was merged into the Genesis Championship, a long-standing Korean Tour event, which became a "Back 9" event played in October.
Race to Dubai points were simplified, with regular tournaments during the swings all awarding 3,000 points and Back 9 events awarding 5,000 points. Points available in Rolex Series events, major championships and the tour championship all remained the same, at 8,000, 10,000 and 12,000 respectively.
