The DP World India Championship underscores India’s growing influence as a destination for elite golf and as a strategic market for DP World. The announcement follows the success of the 2025 Hero Indian Open, won by Eugenio Chacarra, and further boosts the Tour’s momentum in the region.

The tournament also marks the Tour’s return to Delhi Golf Club for the first time since 2016. Originally established in the 1930s, the Lodhi Championship Course hosted the inaugural Indian Open in 1964 and was redesigned by Peter Thomson in 1977, with further enhancements by Gary Player Design in 2019.

As the Tour’s title partner since 2022, DP World is reaffirming its commitment to golf with this new tournament. It complements its broader sporting footprint in India, which includes partnerships with the Delhi Capitals, and its grassroots programmes like the ‘second life’ container initiative and ‘Balls for Birdies’ campaign.
