When Are the Next Golf Majors?
The men’s golf majors for 2026 are finished, so the next major championship is the 2027 Masters at Augusta National.
For UK golf fans, the 2027 major calendar is a strong one. The Masters returns to Augusta, the PGA Championship goes to PGA Frisco, the U.S. Open is back at Pebble Beach and The Open returns to St Andrews.
That means the next major season has three of golf’s most recognisable venues and one newer championship test.
The next men’s golf major is the 2027 Masters. The next women’s major is The Chevron Championship.
Next Men’s Golf Majors
The Masters 2027
The next men’s major is The Masters.
The 2027 Masters will be played at Augusta National Golf Club in Georgia, with tournament rounds scheduled for 8 to 11 April.
The Masters is always the first men’s major of the year. It is also the only one of the four men’s majors played at the same course every year.
For many golf fans, this is when the major season properly starts. Augusta brings the same questions every spring: who can handle the greens, who has the right iron play, and who can survive the back nine on Sunday?
Key details:
Major: The Masters
Venue: Augusta National Golf Club
Location: Augusta, Georgia, USA
Tournament rounds: 8 to 11 April 2027
Defending champion: To be confirmed from the 2026 Masters
PGA Championship 2027
The second men’s major of 2027 is the PGA Championship.
It will be played at Fields Ranch East at PGA Frisco in Texas. The full championship week runs from 17 to 23 May, with tournament rounds expected from 20 to 23 May.
This will be a different type of major test from Augusta. PGA Frisco is a newer venue, so it does not have the same long major history as places like Pebble Beach, Oakmont or St Andrews. That should make it interesting. Players will not have decades of major-championship memory to lean on.
The PGA Championship usually has one of the strongest fields in golf. It is the one men’s major run by the PGA of America and traditionally includes club professionals alongside the world’s best players.
Key details:
Major: PGA Championship
Venue: Fields Ranch East at PGA Frisco
Location: Frisco, Texas, USA
Championship week: 17 to 23 May 2027
Tournament rounds: 20 to 23 May 2027
U.S. Open 2027
The third men’s major of 2027 is the U.S. Open.
It will be played at Pebble Beach Golf Links in California from 17 to 20 June.
This is one of the standout venues on the 2027 major calendar. Pebble Beach has serious U.S. Open history and is one of the most recognisable courses in world golf. It is not just famous because it looks good. It asks difficult questions with small greens, coastal weather, awkward angles and holes where one loose shot can become expensive very quickly.
The U.S. Open is usually the toughest scoring test of the four majors. Set-up matters. Rough, firmness, pin positions and green speed can all make it brutal.
Key details:
Major: U.S. Open
Venue: Pebble Beach Golf Links
Location: Pebble Beach, California, USA
Tournament rounds: 17 to 20 June 2027
The Open 2027
The final men’s major of 2027 is The Open.
The 155th Open will be played at the Old Course, St Andrews, from 11 to 18 July. The tournament rounds are scheduled for 15 to 18 July.
For UK golf fans, this is the biggest date on the 2027 major calendar. The Open at St Andrews always carries extra weight because it brings the game back to the Home of Golf.
St Andrews is not long by modern standards, but that is not the point. The Old Course tests patience, angles, wind control, putting from distance, bunker avoidance and course knowledge. Players can look comfortable for 12 holes and then make a mess of one bad position.
Key details:
Major: The Open
Venue: The Old Course, St Andrews
Location: St Andrews, Scotland
Championship week: 11 to 18 July 2027
Tournament rounds: 15 to 18 July 2027
Men’s Major Schedule for 2027
The four men’s majors are:
The Masters: 8 to 11 April, Augusta National
PGA Championship: 20 to 23 May, PGA Frisco
U.S. Open: 17 to 20 June, Pebble Beach
The Open: 15 to 18 July, St Andrews
That is a strong run of venues. Augusta and St Andrews are permanent parts of golf history. Pebble Beach is one of the great U.S. Open venues. PGA Frisco gives the calendar something newer and less familiar.
Next Women’s Golf Majors
The women’s major calendar is also worth following properly.
There are five women’s majors:
The Chevron Championship
U.S. Women’s Open
KPMG Women’s PGA Championship
The Amundi Evian Championship
AIG Women’s Open
The next women’s major is The Chevron Championship.
The Chevron Championship 2027
The Chevron Championship is the first women’s major of 2027.
It will be played at Memorial Park Golf Course in Houston, with the championship week listed from 19 to 25 April.
This is the women’s major that follows closest after The Masters. It gives the women’s game an early-season major and usually tells us a lot about which players are already sharp for the year.
Key details:
Major: The Chevron Championship
Venue: Memorial Park Golf Course
Location: Houston, Texas, USA
Championship week: 19 to 25 April 2027
U.S. Women’s Open 2027
The 2027 U.S. Women’s Open will be played at Inverness Club in Toledo, Ohio, from 3 to 6 June.
The U.S. Women’s Open is one of the biggest titles in women’s golf. Like the men’s U.S. Open, it is usually a demanding test rather than a simple birdie race.
Key details:
Major: U.S. Women’s Open
Venue: Inverness Club
Location: Toledo, Ohio, USA
Tournament rounds: 3 to 6 June 2027
KPMG Women’s PGA Championship 2027
The 2027 KPMG Women’s PGA Championship will be played at Congressional Country Club in Bethesda, Maryland, from 24 to 27 June.
Congressional is a proper championship venue, so this should be one of the stronger tests on the women’s calendar.
Key details:
Major: KPMG Women’s PGA Championship
Venue: Congressional Country Club
Location: Bethesda, Maryland, USA
Tournament rounds: 24 to 27 June 2027
The Amundi Evian Championship 2027
The Amundi Evian Championship will be played from 8 to 11 July 2027 at Evian Resort Golf Club in France.
It is the only women’s major played in continental Europe. That makes it useful for UK fans who want to follow major golf in a more convenient time zone than the American events.
Key details:
Major: The Amundi Evian Championship
Venue: Evian Resort Golf Club
Location: Evian-les-Bains, France
Tournament rounds: 8 to 11 July 2027
AIG Women’s Open 2027
The final women’s major of 2027 is the AIG Women’s Open.
It will be played at Royal St George’s in Kent from 28 July to 1 August. This will be the first time the AIG Women’s Open has been staged at Royal St George’s.
For UK golf fans, this is the women’s major to circle. Royal St George’s is one of the most demanding links venues in England, and seeing the women’s game tested there should be excellent.
Key details:
Major: AIG Women’s Open
Venue: Royal St George’s Golf Club
Location: Sandwich, Kent, England
Dates: 28 July to 1 August 2027
Are the Ryder Cup and Solheim Cup Majors?
No.
The Ryder Cup and Solheim Cup are not majors.
They are team match-play events. They are huge in their own right, but they are not counted as major championships.
That distinction matters because golf has several different types of big event:
Majors
Team events
Playoff events
Tour championships
Signature events
Rolex Series events
The majors are the biggest individual championships. The Ryder Cup and Solheim Cup are the biggest team events.
Which Major Should UK Fans Watch Closest?
For men’s golf, The Open at St Andrews is the obvious one.
It is in Scotland, it is at the Old Course, and it is the major most connected to UK golf culture. If Rory McIlroy, Tommy Fleetwood, Matt Fitzpatrick, Robert MacIntyre or another European contender is in position on Sunday, it will be one of the biggest golf stories of the year.
For women’s golf, the AIG Women’s Open at Royal St George’s should be the key UK event.
It brings a women’s major to one of England’s most famous links courses. That should give the championship a different feel from a parkland or resort venue.
Why the 2027 Major Calendar Looks Strong
The 2027 calendar has a good balance.
Augusta gives the year its familiar start. PGA Frisco adds a newer major venue. Pebble Beach brings history, scenery and U.S. Open pressure. St Andrews gives the season the strongest possible Open venue.
For women’s golf, Royal St George’s is the standout UK angle, while Evian keeps a major in Europe and the U.S. Women’s Open returns to a serious championship venue at Inverness.
It is a good year if you like courses that actually shape the story.
The Bottom Line
The next golf major is the 2027 Masters at Augusta National.
The men’s major calendar then moves to PGA Frisco for the PGA Championship, Pebble Beach for the U.S. Open and St Andrews for The Open.
The women’s major season starts with The Chevron Championship in April and finishes with the AIG Women’s Open at Royal St George’s in August.
For UK fans, the biggest dates are simple: The Open at St Andrews and the AIG Women’s Open at Royal St George’s.
