Home heroes Shubhankar Sharma and Anirban Lahiri will once again lead Indian hopes when they join the global field gathering for the second edition of the DP World India Championship. The multiple DP World Tour and international winners will join a host of stars – including defending champion Tommy Fleetwood, Career Grand Slam winner Rory McIlroy and newly crowned Open Champion Ryan Fox – in the highly-anticipated $4,000,000 event at Delhi Golf Club from October 15-18. Sharma became the youngest India player to win on the DP World Tour when he claimed the Joburg Open title in December 2017, aged just 21.
India is one of our most important markets, and one we’re proud to be part of as it grows, both on and off the course. We can’t wait to see the DP World India Championship return to Delhi Golf Club this October. Tickets for the DP World India Championship will be on sale soon via District by Zomato.
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.
