Who are the top-ranked players on the DP World India Championship 2025 field? Rankings explored

The 2025 DP World India Championship is set to tee off on Thursday, October 16 at the Delhi Golf Club in New Delhi. The new event, co-sanctioned between the DP World Tour and the Professional Golf Tour of India (PGTI), will see a stacked 156-player field headlined by Official World Golf Ranking (OWGR) No.2 Rory McIlroy compete for the $4,000,000 purse.

The Indian tournament, 39th event on the 2025 DP World Tour schedule, will have the likes of Tommy Fleetwood, Ben Griffin and Shane Lowry among the headliners. However, the Northern Irishman will remain the highest ranked golfer competing in the DP World India Championship. For the unversed, the five-time major champion enters the contest on the back of a successful Ryder Cup outing, where he contributed 3.5 points for Team Europe’s success.

McIlroy’s European teammate and World No.5 Fleetwood is the second highest-rated player on the Delhi roster. For the unversed, the Englishman won the Tour Championship in August, his first victory on the PGA Tour. The 34-year-old Ryder Cupper will be eyeing to replicate the success this weekend. However, he will face some competition from fellow Bethpage winner Viktor Hovland. The World No.13 golfer is the fourth best-rated player on the field behind No.12 Ben Griffin.

2025 FedEx Open de France champion and Michael Kim is another top-rated name on the DP World India Championship field. Interestingly, the World No.40 golfer will be competing in India with no practice after facing some visa issues that caused a delayed exit from Japan after last week’s Baycurrent Classic. Notably, European Ryder Cup skipper Luke Donald also tees up this weekend.
