The Delhi Golf Club (DGC) will host the $4 million DP World India Championship from October 16 to 19 this year.
It will be the biggest prize money event in the country and marks the return of international golf to the DGC after 2016.
The president of the Professional Golf Tour of India (PGTI), Kapil Dev, assured all efforts to make the event a “grand success”.
“The inaugural DP World India Championship is a landmark moment for Indian golf. The tournament provides a great opportunity for our professionals to rub shoulders with some of the best players in the world and gain valuable international exposure. A world-class field vying for a record prize purse and playing at a top-notch international venue, the Delhi Golf Club, makes it a spectacle for the golf fans,” said Kapil Dev.
The president of DGC, Raj Khosla, was happy to play host to the event, amidst growing competition.
The Indian event will be the eighth of nine in the ‘Back 9” phase of the Race to Dubai, leading to the play-offs and culminating in the championship at the Jumeirah Golf Estates in Dubai.
“We are committed to growing golf in the country. We are working to elevate the Tour in every way and drive positive community impact,” said the CEO and Managing Director of DP World, Rizwan Soomar.
