The DP World Tour will visit India for the second time this year with a new tournament offering the circuit’s largest ever prize fund for an event on the subcontinent. The DP World India Championship will take place between October 16th and 19th at Delhi Golf Club, with players teeing it up for a share of a $4 mn purse.
The tournament comes at a pivotal stage of the DP World Tour season as the penultimate event of the Back 9 phase of the 2025 Race to Dubai. Just the Genesis Championship in Korea follows the week after, before the season-closing DP World Tour Play-Offs.
Rizwan Soomar, CEO & Managing Director, Middle East, North Africa & India Subcontinent of DP World explained the event will help elevate the Tour and drive positive community impact.
Kapil Dev, President of the Professional Golf Tour of India believes the move indicates India’s growing profile in the golf world and provides a great opportunity for professionals to gain valuable international exposure.
As one of the Back 9 events, more Race to Dubai ranking points is on offer than at most other tournaments during the season, and the DP World India Championship will be no exception, with 5,000 available and 835 to the winner.
