New Delhi: Two-time DP World Tour winner Shubhankar Sharma will lead the home charge when he joins global stars Rory McIlroy and Tommy Fleetwood at the $4 million DP World India Championship.
Fans can now buy tickets here to see an international field at Delhi Golf Club from October 16-19.
Sharma, who enjoyed a recent career highlight by representing India at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games, became the youngest Indian player to win on the DP World Tour when he claimed the Joburg Open title in December 2017, aged just 21.
He lifted a second trophy two months later after carding a sublime final round of 62 to win the Maybank Championship, and capped off the season by claiming the 2018 Sir Henry Cotton Rookie of the Year award and topping the Asian Tour Order of Merit.
The 29 year old has also recorded six wins on the Professional Golf Tour of India, and boasts a Major Championship top ten, following his impressive Tied-8th finish in The Open at Royal Liverpool in 2023.
Sharma joins reigning Masters champion and career grand slam winner Rory McIlroy and his Europe Ryder Cup team mate, the seven-time DP World Tour winner, Olympic Silver Medallist and newly- crowned FedExCup champion Tommy Fleetwood in the inaugural DP World India Championship at the iconic Delhi Golf Club.
Global smart logistics provider DP World and the DP World Tour launched the DP World India Championship this season. Co-sanctioned with the Professional Golf Tour of India (PGTI), the $4 million tournament features the largest prize fund ever offered for a DP World Tour event in India, with an exciting field set to join Sharma, Fleetwood and McIlroy in Delhi.
Sharma said: “We’re all very excited about the DP World India Championship. I can’t wait to get back to Delhi Golf Club. It’s a historic course – I played there a lot as a junior and have very fond memories. It’s a tough course, it’s iconic, and I’m sure the DP World Tour players who have played there will remember it well.
“Having players like Rory McIlroy as the reigning Masters champion and the FedExCup champion Tommy Fleetwood coming to the event, things like this can change golf in India. I remember Tiger Woods playing an exhibition match many years ago and the impact walking with him had on me, so to have such an incredible field coming to the country will make this event really special.
“There are also so many good players from India just now, it’s a very exciting time. I’m sure fans will see some of those names alongside the global stars on the leaderboard at the DP World India Championship.”
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 new tournament follows the success of the 2025 Hero Indian Open, won by Eugenio Chacarra, and further boosts the Tour’s momentum in the region.
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 grassroots programmes like the Second Life Container initiative and ‘Balls for Birdies’ campaign – both of which involve DP World donating golf balls, using its smart logistics network, to help grow the game and make it more accessible.
The DP World India Championship will be the eighth of nine events in the ‘Back 9’ phase of the 2025 Race to Dubai, building towards the season-ending DP World Tour Play-Offs and culminating in the DP World Tour Championship in November at Jumeirah Golf Estates in Dubai.

Bloomfield: Luton was heartbreaking but I am ready for next challenge
Christmas at home for Matt Bloomfield is a rarity having spent his entire adult life in football but it does not mean time off. Having also visited clubs in the Premier League and Championship since leaving Luton, even reading is research to him."I have just started Gareth Southgate's book," he tells Sky Sports. "I admire the way he conducts himself, how he treats people. I am also reading Eleven Rings by Phil Jackson." Studying the career of the legendary basketball coach is not about escapism.

When I go into the next job, I want to feel like I have a higher chance of success because of this break." […]
Broadhead: Wrexham return, his fee and aims of PL return
For Nathan Broadhead, returning to Wrexham was more of a spiritual return, rather than a literal one."I moved from here to Everton when I was 10 for about ten grand so it was too long ago to feel like a full homecoming," Broadhead tells Sky Sports. "I didn’t expect to come back, especially with where the club was when I left. The club has gone through the leagues like I’ve never seen before. "My parents still live about an hour and a half away, more north towards Bangor. I’m kind of from the middle of nowhere really."From a £10k sale to a reported purchase that could rise to £10million.
