The 2025 DP World India Championship has a cutline after 36 holes, and it is projected to be around 1-under. The field, featuring a stellar lineup such as the likes of Rory McIlroy, Tommy Fleetwood, Shane Lowry, and many others, started its opening round on Thursday, October 16.
Only the players making the cut will tee off over the weekend for the final two rounds. The game on Friday at the DP World India Championship 2025 has already started, and at the time of writing, the cutline is projected to be 1-under.
After the opening round on Thursday, Shane Lowry took the lead in the game and has been in good form. He settled at 8-under, followed by Keita Nakajima. However, in the second round, Tommy Fleetwood had an impressive start and, at the time of writing, took the lead in the game at 11-under.
However, the players are still playing, and the final leaderboard of the DP World India Championship 2025, round 2, will be out after the players complete their game. At the time of writing, some big names, such as John Parry, Shubhankar Sharma, and Matthew Baldwin, settled below the projected cutline and could miss the cut.
Viktor Hovland had a tough time on the greens on Friday and settled at 1-under, in a tie for 57th place. Indian golfer Anirban Lahiri tied for 45th place at the time of writing.
