Grand Slam champion Rory McIlroy will tee it up at the Delhi Golf Club in the $4 million DP World India Championship from October 16 to 19.

“I have always enjoyed playing a global schedule. There is tremendous potential to grow golf further in India. This is a great opportunity, and I can’t wait to play in front of Indian golf fans,” said McIlroy.

“India is one of the world’s fastest-growing economies. We are showcasing Delhi on the global sporting stage and creating a platform to inspire the next generation of talent. Rory will capture global attention, increase participation and position India as a premier destination for golf,” said the Chief Financial Officer of DP World, Yuvraj Narayan.

McIlroy had added the Green Jacket in April to his four previous Major victories at the US Open in 2011, the US PGA championships in 2012 and 2014, and the Open in 2014.

The DP World India Championship will be the eighth of nine events in the second phase of the 2025 Race to Dubai, leading to the Play-Offs and culminating in the DP World Tour Championship at Jumeirah Golf Estates in Dubai in November.
