So now what? Here's the next time we'll see pro golf tours in action

The PGA Tour concluded at the RSM Classic a month ago. The LPGA pulled the curtain on its year at the CME on the same Sunday. Other pro tours had concluded weeks prior. The DP World Tour has had recent events but those are a part of the 2026 season.

Thus, we can officially close the last page on the 2025 golf calendar and start to look ahead to the first tournaments of 2026. Your favorite golfers will be back in action before you know.

Here's a look at the first event of the new year on each of the major pro golf tours around the world.

Korn Ferry Tour

The Bahamas Golf Classic at Atlantis Paradise Island, Jan. 11-14

The Ocean Club Golf Course at Atlantis will serve as the first pro golf venue in 2026. The Korn Ferry Tour's schedule then stays in the Bahamas for the second event of the year before heading to Colombia, Argentina and Chile.

PGA Tour

The Sony Open in Hawaii, Jan. 15-18

The Sony is normally the follow-up to The Sentry but the traditional season opener in Maui was canceled after a water dispute led to drought conditions at the Plantation Course at Kapalua. So that means when the pros peg it up at Waialae Country Club in Oahu, the 2026 golfing season will officially be underway.
