2027 Golf Calendar: Majors, Venues, and the Centennial Ryder Cup

Everything you need to know about the 2027 golf majors, women's championships and the historic Ryder Cup

A full rundown of the 2027 golf season – dates, locations and defending champions for the men’s and women’s majors, plus the 100th‑anniversary Ryder Cup in Ireland.

The 2027 golf season is shaping up to be a busy one, with the traditional four men’s majors and five women’s majors spread across the globe, plus a landmark Ryder Cup that marks the tournament’s 100th anniversary.

Let’s start with the men’s side. The year kicks off in early April with The Masters at Augusta National Golf Club (April 8‑11). After a dramatic finish in 2026, Rory McIlroy will be back to defend his green‑ jacket.

May brings the PGA Championship to the sprawling PGA Frisco Golf Club in Texas (May 20‑23). England’s Aaron Rai, the 2026 champion, will be looking to hold onto the trophy he lifted just a year ago.

June is all about the US Open, staged at the iconic Pebble Beach Golf Links in California (June 17‑20). The defending champion, Wyndham Clark, will have his work cut out for him on the notoriously windy coastal fairways.

Then, in mid‑July, the oldest major – The Open – returns to its spiritual home at St Andrews (July 15‑18). Ryan Fox, who captured the 2026 title, will try to repeat his success on the famous Old Course.

On the women’s side, the schedule is just as packed. The Chevron Championship in Houston, Texas, is slated for early April (exact dates to be confirmed), where Nelly Korda, the 2026 winner, hopes to add another major to her résumé.

June sees two back‑to‑back championships. The US Women’s Open, presented by Ally, will be contested at Inverness Club in Toledo, Ohio (June 3‑6) – again featuring Korda as the defending champion. A few weeks later, the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship heads to the Congressional Country Club in Bethesda, Maryland (June 24‑27), where Ha Ryu, the 2026 champion, will try to defend her crown.

July’s women's lineup includes the Evian Championship at the Evian Resort Golf Club in France (dates TBC) – Ha Ryu will be back to defend – and the AIG Women’s Open at Royal St George’s in Kent, England (July 28‑August 1).

All of this culminates in September with the 46th Ryder Cup, a truly special event as it celebrates a century of competition. Europe, the defending team, will host the showdown at the luxurious Adare Manor in County Limerick, Ireland (September 17‑19).

Fans can look forward to a season that blends tradition with fresh storylines – new faces challenging seasoned champions, historic venues buzzing with anticipation, and a centennial Ryder Cup that promises unforgettable drama.
