The thrilling DP World India Championship is wrapping up this Sunday at the historic Delhi Golf Club! Though the $680,000 prize for first place and $4 million total purse might seem modest compared to global golf giants, this is the biggest money tournament ever held in India. The spotlight shines brightly on 25-year-old Keita Nakajima, who leads the pack by two shots over England’s Tommy Fleetwood on a challenging course where almost half the players, including superstar Rory McIlroy, are daringly playing without drivers. Tommy Fleetwood has had a wild ride, even getting a ‘jungle assist’ on this unique layout, keeping his hopes alive in the thrilling final round. But the real buzz comes from the fact that McIlroy is sitting well back at 10 under, trailing leader Nakajima by seven strokes. He’s not alone in the chase: fellow European Ryder Cup stars Shane Lowry and Viktor Hovland are hot on the trail. Lowry stands strong in solo third place at 14 under, while Hovland shares eighth place at 12 under. Americans Brian Harman and Michael Kim are also striking hard on the leaderboard, with scores of 13 and 11 under par, respectively. This tournament not only offers exciting moments but also a big break for golf in India, setting new records in prize money. Here’s a quick glance at the top prizes: 1st Prize: $680,000 2nd: $440,000 3rd: $252,000 4th: $200,000 5th: $169,600 The payout goes all the way down to $7,600 for the 70th position, spreading the wealth among many players. This grand event is putting India boldly on the golfing map and exciting fans with every swing!
