The Asian Tour on Tuesday announced a partnership with the PGA Tour and European circuit until at least 2029, severing its ties with LIV Golf in a global shake-up of the sport.
The agreement is aimed at expanding playing opportunities and strengthening pathways for golfers in Asia, the three organisations said in a joint statement.
As part of the deal, the European-based DP World Tour will resume co-sanctioning selected events with the Asian Tour from 2027.
Details of the tournaments involved will be announced later this year when the DP World Tour unveils its schedule for next season.
The partnership marks a revival of ties between the European circuit and its Asian equivalent, which were linked through a past alliance from 2016 to 2021.
Their relationship dates back even further, to 1999, when the Malaysian Open became the first event jointly sanctioned by the two tours.
Asian Tour commissioner and CEO Cho Minn Thant said the pact would help broaden the reach of professional golf in the region.
"We feel the time is now right to collaborate with the DP World Tour and PGA Tour to enhance the Asian Tour for our members, fans and partners," he said.
"Bringing the three Tours together under one partnership will increase the bandwidth of the professional game in Asia."
DP World Tour chief tournament and operations officer Ben Cowen said the arrangement would provide "unprecedented international opportunities" for Asian Tour members through newly established pathways.
Christian Hardy, the senior vice president of international for the PGA Tour, said the agreement reflected a shared vision for professional golf and would help create a more connected global ecosystem.
The realignment comes after Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF) said earlier this year that it would stop funding the breakaway LIV Golf league after the 2026 season.
LIV has also been bankrolling the Asian Tour's International Series to the tune of $300 million, leaving in doubt the future of the mini-circuit elevated events which each offer $2 million in prize money and a pathway to the LIV tour.
"There are still a lot of details to be worked out, and we will continue to provide updates as soon as possible," read a statement from the Asian Tour.
"Our priority is to maintain the International Series events planned for later this year in some form and to finish with a strong run of tournaments at the end of the season."
