Overview

  • Organizers said Wednesday that McIlroy will tee it up at Delhi Golf Club from October 15–18 for a second straight year.
  • Tommy Fleetwood, the 2025 champion and reigning FedExCup winner, has also committed to play in Delhi.
  • The tournament is slated as the eighth stop in the DP World Tour’s late‑season Back Nine, a run that leads into the playoffs and the Dubai finale.
  • The event offers a $4 million purse, the largest for a DP World Tour stop in India, and is co‑sanctioned with the Professional Golf Tour of India.
  • McIlroy debuted in 2025 with a tie for 26th after favoring accuracy over power on the course’s tight fairways, even shelving his driver for stretches.
