Professional Golf of Malaysia (PGM) officially launched its 2026 PGM Tour calendar at Seri Selangor Golf Club, setting the tone for what will be the Tour’s sixteenth season for professional golf in the country. The 2026 calendar will feature a total of 19 tournaments, with 10 events for the men and nine for the ladies, reflecting PGM’s continued commitment to strengthening competitive opportunities across both fields.
A key highlight of the calendar is the women’s major tournament scheduled for October 2026, to be sponsored and hosted by Mines Resort & Golf Club. The event will offer a prize purse of RM200,000 and will be open to all Malaysian women golfers, including both professionals and amateurs.
Across the season, tournaments will be staged at a diverse lineup of venues nationwide, including Seri Selangor Golf Club, Kelab Golf Perkhidmatan Awam, Saujana Golf & Country Club, Bukit Jawi Golf Resort, Royal Pekan Golf Club, Royal Pahang Golf Club, Port Dickson Golf & Country Club, Tiara Melaka Golf & Country Club, Mines Resort & Golf Club and Palm Resort Golf & Country Club.
PGM also reaffirmed its close collaboration with the Malaysian Golf Association (MGA), particularly in providing competitive pathways for talented amateurs. Several amateur golfers already hold PGM Tour cards, enabling them to gain valuable experience by competing alongside professionals in PGM-sanctioned events.
