World Number Three golfer Tommy Fleetwood is set to defend his title at the DP World India Championship, scheduled to take place at Delhi Golf Club from October 15-18, 2026. Fleetwood emerged victorious in the previous season, securing his eighth DP World Tour title in a highly competitive event. His win in Delhi last year marked a remarkable end to the season, where he also claimed the FedExCup on the PGA TOUR and contributed to Team Europe’s Ryder Cup victory.
Fleetwood, the Olympic silver medalist, captivated spectators at Delhi Golf Club with an impressive performance, culminating in a two-shot triumph at the DP World India Championship. His strategic play and clutch birdies on the 14th and 17th holes secured the win, leading to emotional celebrations with his son Frankie and the lifting of the Lotus Trophy.
The DP World India Championship, launched in 2025 by global logistics provider DP World and the DP World Tour, has established itself as a prestigious event with the largest prize fund for a DP World Tour competition in India. Co-sanctioned with the DP World Professional Golf Tour of India (PGTI), the tournament is a crucial part of the Race to Dubai, enhancing India’s status as a premier golf destination and a key market for DP World.
Fleetwood expressed his enthusiasm for the upcoming championship, highlighting the unique experience of playing in India and the support from DP World in promoting the sport in the country. As the tournament gears up for its second edition, it reinforces India’s position in the world of elite golf, following the success of events like the Hero Indian Open. The DP World India Championship will play a pivotal role in the 2026 Race to Dubai, leading up to the season finale at the DP World Tour Championship in Dubai.
