Four million dollars – that's the prize money up for grabs at the 2026 DP World India Championship at Delhi Golf Club, making the pros sweat on the greens. The winner will pocket an incredible $680,000, a hefty 17 percent of the total prize fund. Even the runner-up takes home $440,000 – so it's not just about glory, but serious cash.
A full field of 144 golfers will compete over 72 holes, with a cut after 36 holes advancing the top 65 players and ties. The DP World Tour exemplarily ensures that even with a larger cut field, every qualifier gets a share of the pie, adding extra money if necessary. The top 8 can look forward to the following amounts: 1st Place: $680,000, 2nd Place: $440,000, 3rd Place: $250,400, 4th Place: $200,000, 5th Place: $169,600, 6th Place: $140,000, 7th Place: $120,000, and 8th Place: $100,000.
More than Just Cash: Points and Privileges
The champion not only secures a hefty check but also valuable points: 835 DP World Tour points and approximately 26.5 to 27 Official World Golf Ranking points. This isn't just good for the ego, but also for their career – as it comes with a two-year exemption on the DP World Tour. This means security in planning and the opportunity to prove oneself on the grand stages.
Special Bonuses for Absolute Highlight Moments
As if the prize money wasn't incentive enough, there's extra cash for exceptional performances: A Sunday course record of 59 strokes or better will be rewarded with $40,000. Anyone who hits a hole-in-one on the 12th hole collects $50,000. A hole-in-one on the 5th is even worth $50,000 for charity, and on the 17th hole, the ace-maker gets a stylish Omega watch. The 2026 DP World India Championship is the 39th event on the tour calendar and contributes 5,000 Race to Dubai points to the overall standings. The race for the top is therefore really heating up.
