The Asian Tour will boast another vibrant, busy and hugely rewarding calendar of tournaments next season, after the schedule was revealed.
The preliminary schedule boasts a total of 22 events offering prize money of over US$30 million – with more tournaments to be added.
With The International Series once again providing a potent backbone of 10 events – thanks to the ongoing partnership with LIV Golf – the Tour will be played across the full length of the calendar year, making a popular return to India and the Philippines.
First up will be the Philippine Open, returning after a six-year absence, in January, before the inaugural International Series India presented by DLF takes place the ensuing week.

The International Series Rankings will once again act as a pathway to the LIV Golf League in 2026.
All events on The International Series will feature minimum prize money of US$2million with the PIF Saudi International powered by SoftBank Investment Advisers offering at least US$5million – the richest on Tour.
In addition, the return of SJM Macao Open, 41st Shinhan Donghae Open, Saudi Open presented by PIF and Chinese-Taipei’s Yeangder Tournament Players Championship, Mercuries Taiwan Masters and Taiwan Glass Taifong Open will add strength and depth to the 2025 season.
