The DP World Tour returns to Bahrain for the next leg of its ‘International Swing’ at the Bapco Energies Bahrain Championship.

The formerly known European Tour returned to Bahrain for the first time in 13 years in 2024 at the Colin Montgomerie-designed Royal Golf Club.

South African Dylan Frittelli won on that occasion by two shots and the event returns at the same venue again in 2025.
