The English Open will be making a comeback after more than two decades.
Last held in 2002, the tournament boasts several notable winners, including Seve Ballesteros and Darren Clarke.
The once-prestigious event was part of the European Tour from 1979 to 2002.
The tournament will take the place of the existing England Golf Challenge this year, and will be played at The Vale Golf Club in Worcestershire from June 18 to 21.
The competition will also feature an increased prize fund of £300,000.
The English Open will be brought back on the HotelPlanner Tour for this year and in 2027.
Details for next year's English Open and the 2028 edition, which will feature on the DP World Tour, will be revealed further down the line.
Guy Kinnings, Chief Executive of the DP World Tour, said: "We are delighted with today's announcement that, together with England Golf, we will be returning one of golf's most prestigious titles to the global stage.

Kinnings described it as a "new era for the relationship between our two organisations", adding they "look forward to working together to help progress all aspects of the game in England".
He continued: "For over 50 years, national Opens have been a cornerstone of our international schedule, tournaments rooted in tradition and ones which shine a spotlight on the countries we play, the relationships we have fostered in these countries over decades, and on the communities that host them.
"The English Open's return reflects that heritage."

The announcement comes at a fitting moment after England's Aaron Rai won the PGA Championship
| GETTYThe announcement comes at a timely moment after England's Aaron Rai won the PGA Championship.
Rai became the first Englishman since 1919 to win the major, shooting an incredible final-round 65.
The world number 44, raised in the West Midlands by a Kenyan mother and Indian father, produced the performance of his career when it mattered most.
Speaking at the trophy presentation, Rai said: "This win is very surreal. It's been a bit of a frustrating season so to be stood here is definitely outside of my wildest imagination."
