The PGA has announced its 2027 tournament schedule, with Rockliffe set to host the PGA Professional Championship.
The schedule brings together returning venues and new challenges across national tournaments, the Chrome Tour PGA Open Series, and the PGA Sprint Series.
Richard Barker PGA, executive director – business development, said: “The 2026 season showed how much our members value the chance to compete. National tournament entries rose 8.8% compared to 2025, and six of the nine events grew in participation. The Open Series also rose by 6.4%. We’re looking to build on that momentum in 2027, and by announcing the schedule in October again, we’re giving members time to plan and prepare for the season ahead.”
The PGA Professional Championship, the flagship event on the Callaway PGA National Tournament Schedule, takes place at Rockliffe on June 15-18. After a successful final in 2026 at Slaley Hall, the championship stays in the North East and moves to County Durham.
The event will mark the start of qualification for the 2028 PGA Cup, with the same two-year PGA Professional Championship Order of Merit deciding places in the GB&I team which will defend the Llandudno Trophy in the US.
QHotels Collection’s Slaley Hall returns to the schedule, with the Hunting and Priestman courses set to host the Senior PGA Professional Championship in May.
Lincolnshire’s Belton Woods, another QHotels venue, welcomes the PGA Super 60s Championship in August, building on a successful first year of partnership between the hotel group and The PGA.
Hadley Wood hosts the PGA Fourball Championship in August, while Carden Park will host the PGA Inter-County Championship in September, and the Women’s PGA Professional and Assistants’ Championship will take place at Saffron Walden in late-June.
The PGA Assistants’ Championship will take place at Montrose Golf Links in July, with the championship taking place in Scotland for the first time. The Welsh National Championship will take place at Machynys Peninsula in September.
Meanwhile, entry fees for the Chrome Tour PGA Open Series will rise from £100 to £120 in 2027. The prize fund for each of the nine events will rise by 25%, to £27,500, which takes the total Open Series prize fund up by £49,500 across the season.
The series will visit four new venues in 2027. Canon Brook in Essex will host the opener in May, Cruden Bay stages the Northern Open in June, and the Midlands event heads to Trentham Golf Club in the same month. Kilkea Castle then welcomes the Ireland event in July. The series concludes at Leeds Golf Club in August with the Leeds Cup – the oldest trophy still played for in professional golf. As in 2025 and 2026, members will compete for £10,000 through the Open Series Order of Merit.
The PGA Sprint Series also returns for 2027 following its successful introduction last year, with nine 18-hole, pro-only events each carrying a £10,000 prize fund. Four venues are new – The Kendleshire hosts the West Region Championship, Kedleston Park welcomes the Midlands Professional Championship, and the Wiltshire Open moves to Chippenham, with the Lancashire Open to be confirmed in due course. The series tees off with the Southern Open at Sonning Golf Club and concludes with the Wiltshire Open.
Philip Davies, head of tournaments at The PGA, said: “Members scored both their overall experience and their host venues highly in our 2026 tournament surveys. In planning the 2027 season, we wanted to refresh the schedule without losing what members enjoyed, so we have kept a strong lineup of challenging golf courses. We are pleased to welcome Rockliffe to the calendar. Slaley Hall, Hadley Wood and Carden Park remain, and we look forward to taking different tournaments to these venues.”
A further announcement is set to follow with details of the WPGA Series schedule, pro ams, the Winter Series, and Senior and Trainee tournaments.
