PGTI unveils Race to DP World India Championship
The Professional Golf Tour of India (PGTI) has partnered with DP World to launch a new season-long competition structure. The initiative aims to align Indian golf with the global DP World Tour and culminates in a season-ending championship.
Why it matters
This restructuring professionalizes the Indian golfing circuit and creates a clearer pathway for local talent to compete on the international stage.
The Professional Golf Tour of India (PGTI) and DP World on Monday launched the Race to DP World India Championship, a season-long competition that restructures the country’s golfing calendar, to align it with the DP World Tour.
Under the new format, the 2026 Order of Merit champion will be decided after the completion of the season-ending DP World India Championship, to be held in October, following nine tournaments of the Race through the year instead of continuing till the end of the year.
The first three — J&K Open, Coal India Open and Kolar Open — were held in the first three weeks of August and will end with the ninth and final event, the inaugural Kapil Dev Invitational Tour Championship, in Greater Noida from September 30 to October 3.
