McIlroy Calls Diwali Party The Highlight Of India Trip As The Return Of India Championship 2026 Is Confirmed
The DP World India Championships: The DP World India Championships will be back for 2026. The news was officially confirmed on Tuesday, as the Tour extended its long-term partnership with DP World, which brought World No. 2 Rory McIlroy and Tommy Fleetwood, the eventual winner, to India last month.
Building on its massive success and enthusiasm, which brought some of the largest crowds for golf in India, the DP World India Championship makes a return with plans to become a regular fixture on the Tour calendar.
McIlroy, in whose name the Tour has instituted a new award called the ‘Rory McIlroy Award’ – to be given to the best-performing DP World Tour member across the four Major Championships – gushed about the India Championship. “I enjoyed it, I had a great time in India. I don't know if I have one lasting memory. I guess I'll remember not hitting the driver for four days. But the hospitality, the welcome, the generosity of the people there, it was absolutely amazing," he said.
