Yurav Premlall Wins First DP World Tour Title by 14 Shots, One Off Tiger's Record

Back-to-back 63s, including a course record, from the world No. 598 hint at a rapid rise.

Overview

  • Premlall, who closed Sunday at 28 under, won the Estrella Damm Catalunya Championship in Barcelona by 14 shots.
  • He shot 70-64-63-63 with 33 birdies, and his third-round 63 set the course record and earned a $50,000 bonus.
  • The 14-shot gap sets a DP World Tour record for a maiden winner and finished one shy of Tiger Woods’ 15-shot benchmark from the 2000 U.S. Open, with Shaun Norris second at 14 under.
  • The 22-year-old entered ranked No. 598 and earned his place this season via Sunshine Tour results at Q-School, having earlier become the youngest qualifier for the South African Open and won a 2024 Sunshine Tour event.
  • The win pays about $487,500 and, per Yahoo, lifts him to roughly No. 250 in the world and 26th in the Race to Dubai, with some betting sites reporting pre‑event odds that would have paid as much as $60,000 on a $100 wager.
