DP World India Championship 2025. Top five picks for the $4 million showdown in Delhi. The stage is set for the 2025 DP World India Championship. And all eyes turn to Delhi Golf Club, a 6,912 yd par 72 course known for its tight fairways and treeine challenges. With temperatures hovering around 32° C and only a light four to 5 mph breeze, conditions are expected to be hot both on and off the course. DIT stake a 4 million purse and 5,000 race to Dubai points. The field features four of the world’s top 15 golfers promising plenty of drama in this inaugural edition. Let’s take a closer look at our top five contenders for the title. Trophy Tommy Fleetwood. If there’s anyone matching the Indian heat this week, it’s Tommy Fleetwood. Making his first appearance in Delhi since 2016, Fleetwood comes in red-hot with five top 10 finishes in his last 10 starts, including his long-awaited victory at the Tour Championship. Delhi Golf Club rewards precision and Fleetwood’s elite ball striking and control make him a natural fit. According to Data Golf, he has a 36.2% chance to finish inside the top five. The numbers don’t lie. He ranks seventh in driving accuracy, 18th in SG approach, and fifth in SG putting over the past three months. With form, focus, and confidence on his side, Fleetwood looks primed for another big week. Shamrock Rory McKilroy, the only career Grand Slam winner in the field, Rory Mroy enters Delhi in phenomenal form. In his last 10 starts, he’s recorded seven top 10 finishes, including wins at the Masters, the AT&T Pebble Beach ProAm, the Players Championship, and the Irish Open. This will be Mroyy’s first appearance in India, but his stats make him the man to beat. Data Golf gives him a 31% chance of a top five finish, backed by his stellar metrics, second in SG, off the T, 0.671, and third in SG. Total 1.543 with his sight set on a seventh race to Dubai title. Expect the world number two to bring his trademark aggression and precision to Delhi. United States Ben Griffin, a breakout star of 2025. Ben Griffin has been one of the tour’s most consistent performers. With two victories and 11 top 10s this season, including AT10 at the US Open and a runner-up finish at the Procore Championship, he’s built a reputation for resilience and precision. Currently ranked 12th in the world, Griffin boasts a 26.1% top five probability according to data golf. His steady metrics fifth in SG total 1.223 and 59th in SG off the tea 0.196 suggest another strong finish is well within reach. United Kingdom John Perry. He may not have the same star power as Mroy or Fleetwood, but John Perry knows Delhi Golf Club like few others. The Englishman won on the challenge tour here in 2024 and even posted a top 20 finish at the 2015 Indian Open. His 2025 form speaks volumes. Six top three finishes in the last year, including a win in Mauritius and third place at the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship. Statistically, he ranks third in SG approach and 14th in SG total on the DP world tour this season. On a course that rewards control and precision, Perry could easily play the spoiler role this week. India on bunhir local hero Anerbun Lihiri will be the crowd favorite at Delhi Golf Club and for good reason. The LIV Golf Pro has had a steady 2025 with three top 10s in 15 starts, including a second place finish at LIIV Virginia and seventh at LIIV Adelaide. More importantly, Lihiri is a former Indian Open champion 2015 and a two-time runnerup 2013 2016 at this very course. His stats remain impressive. 12th in putting average, 16th in scrambling, 17th in driving accuracy, and 26th in greens in regulation. With local knowledge and fan energy on his side, Lihiri is perfectly positioned for another deep run on home soil. Fire other names to watch beyond the top five. Expect strong performances from Victor Havland, world number 13, Brian Harmon, Luke Donald, and Kada Nakajima, among others. With conditions set fair and the field packed with talent, Delhi could deliver one of the most exciting DP World Tour finishes of the season. Who’s your pick to lift the trophy in Delhi? India let the battle for $4 million and bragging rights begin.
