Overview
- DP World confirmed the extension on Sunday at the close of the second DP World India Championship in New Delhi, committing to sponsor the event through 2035.
- The tournament this week carried a $4 million purse and finished with Spain’s Eugenio Chacarra winning by two shots, a sign the event drew one of the strongest fields ever staged in India.
- The India Championship extension is aligned with DP World’s existing title and official logistics partnership with the DP World Tour, which also runs through 2035.
- DP World and the Professional Golf Tour of India have pledged immediate reforms that include higher domestic prize funds, staging events in tier‑2 cities, hosting Asian Development Tour stops in India, and offering financial support for Indian players to enter overseas challenger tours.
- DP World frames the investment as both a commercial play that uses its global logistics network to stage elite events and a social strategy to grow golf in India, which could raise the country’s profile on the Race to Dubai and create clearer career pathways for Indian professionals.
