Golf: Indian Open to be staged from March 27 to 30 with eye-catching prize purse

The DP World Tour announced its 2025 schedule on Tuesday, with the Indian Open set to take place from March 27 to 30.

As per the new calendar, the 2025 edition of the Indian Open will take place in March next year with a prize purse of $2.25 million, the same as the 2024 edition. The Indian Open has been organized by the Indian Golf Union since its inaugural edition in 1964.

Hero MotoCorp will continue as the title sponsor of the tournament. They have held this position since 2005.

“We are very pleased to receive the continued patronage of title sponsor Hero MotoCorp for the 17th consecutive edition. The tournament has only grown over the years, and it will once again be the last stop of the Asian Swing on the DP World Tour. Some of the world’s best men’s professionals, not just from Europe, will be vying for top honours, along with the cream of Indian golf,” said S.K. Sharma IPS (Retd), Chairman of the Organising Committee for the Indian Open, as quoted in a statement.

“The tournament is most likely to be hosted at the pristine Gary Player-designed DLF Golf & Country Club, which has been hailed as one of the toughest courses across the globe. We look forward to hosting golf fans in March,” he added.

Recently, Liz Young of England won her second Ladies European Tour title by taking the USD 400,000 Women’s Indian Open by one stroke at the DLF Golf and Country Club.

Never having missed the cut in eight previous visits, Young extended that streak to nine as she shot 72 and totaled 2-under 286 to win by one shot over four others who tied for second.

Young amateur Mannat Brar (76-75-71-70) had the double honour of being the top amateur and the best-finishing Indian, tying for 11th place with a 4-over par 292, while professionals Pranavi Urs and Hitaashee Bakshi tied for 15th, two strokes behind the teenager at 6-over 294.
