Star-studded India Championship Set to Sparkle with Fleetwood and McIlroy

Renowned golfer Tommy Fleetwood is set to add his star presence to the highly anticipated India Championship, joining career grand slam winner Rory McIlroy at the Delhi Golf Club from October 16-19. The event, boasting a prize pool of four million US dollars, marks Fleetwood's first return to India since 2016.

The tournament, sponsored by DP World, is a significant addition to the DP World Tour and is co-sanctioned with the Professional Golf Tour of India (PGTI).
