The DP World Tour Comes to Real Club de Golf El Prat in 2026

Blogs

In May of 2026, Real Club de Golf El Prat will be host to the prestigious DP World Tour. 

The Estrella Damm Catalunya Championship is a brand-new event on the 2026 schedule. It will be coming to Barcelona and opening the European Swing of the DP World Tour. 

Let’s discuss the Estrella Damm Catalunya Championship, Real Club de Golf El Prat is and why it headlines the European leg of the world tour.

What is the DP World Tour?

The DP World Tour is the main men’s European golf tour. Though inherently and historically a European tour, it has evolved a lot since its conception in 1972. It now exists on a global schedule, with more than 40 tournaments in 26 different countries across 5 different continents. 

It is a season-long competition that is known as the Race to Dubai, as at the end of the season the DP World Tour Championship will be held in Dubai. Players score points based on their position each tournament, and whoever holds the most points at the end of the final tournament in Dubai is crowned the champion.

The Estrella Damm Catalunya Championship & Real Club de Golf El Prat

The Estrella Damm Catalunya Championship is a brand-new addition to the DP World Tour scheduled for 2026. This tournament will help to build further excitement in the region for when Camiral will be hosting the 2031 Ryder Cup. 

The renowned Pink Course of Real Club de Golf El Prat is where the action will take place. This Pink Course is one of the premier golf courses of Spain and often ranks among Europe’s best courses. 

Designed by former professional golf legend Greg Norman, the 18-hole Pink Course offers many challenges and obstacles that will test even the best players. It has received much critical praise over the years by professional golfers and critics alike and is well-suited for tournament and championship play. 

The golf club itself has a rich history in competitive golf: 

  • It has hosted the Spanish Open 10 times
  • It has been granted royal status by King Alfonso XIII (hence ‘Real’ or ‘Royal’) 
  • It was in fact the first golf club in all of Barcelona. 

The club also has been the homebase for many of Spain’s golfing stars, including nine-time DP World Tour winner Pablo Larrazábal. This really makes it a cornerstone in Spanish golf, and a golf club not to be missed.

We recently used Barcelona Golf Travel for a golf trip, playing two fantastic courses, and I couldn’t fault the service from start to finish. The whole trip was organised perfectly. All of our transfers — from the airport to the golf courses, between locations, and back to the airport — were arranged seamlessly and ran exactly as planned. The best part was how easy they made it for us. All I had to do was tell them which golf courses we wanted to play, the dates and times, and our flight details. They took care of everything else. The communication, organisation and attention to detail were excellent, making the whole trip completely stress-free. We could simply concentrate on enjoying the golf and Barcelona. I would have no hesitation in recommending Barcelona Golf Travel to anyone planning a golf trip to Barcelona. We’ll definitely be using them again for our next golf trip!

Just back from a great trip to the Costa Brava. Four rounds with 3 friends over four days. The hotel was great, on the beach, a very short walk to restaurants etc. Perfect. The golf courses were all within easy reach and all in great condition. In summary , Dani organized a great trip for us and in particular, was really prompt in replying to any questions or clarifications needed. Top class , would highly recommend and we are already talking about our next trip !

I recently went to Cambrils in Spain with a group of friends to play golf, there were eleven of us in total. Our trip was organised by Barcelona Golf which is run and owned by Ian Denham. I have to say that everything was organised perfectly from start to finish. Hotel Sol Port Cambrils, Golf courses, transfers etc., Ian even went as far as coming to meet us at one of the courses. All the group were totally happy and we had a wonderful golfing holiday. I have travelled with Ian and Barcelona golf on other occasions and each time we couldn’t but say the the very best. I would recommend this company to anyone who is thinking of and planning a golfing trip to Spain
