The 2026 season promises golf fans a packed schedule. From the prestigious men’s and women’s Majors to the Solheim Cup and events in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, it offers a rich tournament calendar.
Men’s Majors: Tradition, Prestige, and Great Venues
The men’s Major season traditionally opens with the legendary Masters from April 9-12.

The men’s Major season concludes with The Open from July 16-19 at Royal Birkdale Golf Club in Southport, England. After Scottie Scheffler’s success at the PGA Championship, he secured his second Major title of the year at The Open.
Women’s Five Majors and Solheim Cup
