New Delhi, Mar 17 (PTI) World No. 3 Tommy Fleetwood will return to defend his title at the DP World India Championship at the Delhi Golf Club from October 15 to 18.
Fleetwood triumphed over a world-class field in the inaugural edition last season to claim his eighth DP World Tour title, and he will once again tee it up in the highly anticipated USD 4,000,000 event.
“I had an incredible week at the DP World India Championship last season,” Fleetwood said in a release.
“There is so much to enjoy about being in India, from the warmth of the people, the atmosphere in the city, to the food, and playing at such a challenging and strategic course.
“But what made the week particularly special for me was having my family there to celebrate the win on Sunday.” The victory in Delhi last year was a key part of an incredible end to the season for Fleetwood, who also won the FedExCup on the PGA TOUR, and made his fourth appearance in the Ryder Cup, helping team Europe defeat the USA on away soil for the first time since 2012.
“Our thanks of course, go to DP World, who are such huge supporters of our sport, for helping to grow the game in India with this tournament.
“It was a pleasure to tee it up in the inaugural event as part of such an incredible field and I look forward to more of the same in October.” The Championship will be the eighth of nine events in the Back 9 phase of the 2026 Race to Dubai, building towards the season-ending Play-Offs and culminating in the DP World Tour Championship in November at Jumeirah Golf Estates in Dubai.
