Veer Ahlawat is now competing on the DP World Tour, a milestone earned through his standout performances on the PGTI in 2024.
The Professional Golf Tour of India (PGTI) has announced its final list of 23 players who have earned entry into the US$4 million DP World India Championship, set for October 16–19 at the historic Delhi Golf Club (DGC).
Leading the Indian challenge will be Veer Ahlawat, the 2024 PGTI Rankings leader, and Shubhankar Sharma, the Arjuna Awardee and two-time DP World Tour winner, who has qualified through the international rankings.
The elite line-up also features former PGTI No.1s — Om Prakash Chouhan (2023), Manu Gandas (2022), and Udayan Mane (2021) — along with Yuvraj Sandhu, the current PGTI No.1 with four wins this season, and Arjun Prasad, who claimed his maiden victory last week in Coimbatore.
Other key names include Saptak Talwar, a PGTI winner now competing on the Hotel Planner Tour, and international champions N. Thangaraja of Sri Lanka and Jamal Hossain of Bangladesh, both winners on the PGTI this season. Ajeetesh Sandhu, a former Asian Tour winner and a winner last year at DGC, will also feature.
Conspicuously missing from the field is Gaganjeet Bhullar, who is not eligible after signing with the rival IGPL Tour.
The event, represents a landmark for Indian golf — bringing together top PGTI professionals and international stars on one stage.
