Inside this week's Hero Indian Open...ENTRY LIST

 DP World Tour : Hero Indian Open  Entry List

The Asian Swing continues as the DP World Tour returns to the beautiful but punishing DLF Golf and Country Club for the Hero Indian Open.

DLF Golf & Country Club

Chacarra defends

Eugenio Chacarra claimed his maiden DP World Tour title on just his ninth appearance last year, recovering from a rocky start to his final round before pulling clear with a brilliant birdie burst to win by two shots.

He finished on -4, two shots clear of Keita Nakajima in second place -2, while Joost Luiten was another stroke back in third -1. 

"I know when I play my best I’m one of the best players in the world, I’ve already proved that a million times, it’s just awesome - it’s going to need to sink in but really proud and just happy."

Bhatia makes first trip to India

Akshay Bhatia-2188762113

Hero MotoCorp global ambassador Akshay Bhatia will tee it up for the first time in India as he makes his debut. American Bhatia was born and raised in California and North Carolina but has Indian roots and has always expressed a desire to play in the country. 

His recent win at the Arnold Palmer Invitational presented by Mastercard raised him to a career high 19th on the Official World Golf Ranking as part of a run of five consecutive top 20s on the PGA TOUR.

Inside the field

Casey Jarvis is back in action this week in his last start before his Masters debut and is joined by fellow 2026 DP World Tour winners Nacho Elvira, Freddy Schott, Dan Bradbury and David Puig. 

Major champion and Ryder Cup hero Francesco Molinari makes his second consecutive start and is joined by brother Edoardo, who is making his comeback from a thumb injury which has ruled him out since August. Andy Sullivan, Julien Guerrier, Calum Hill, Campillo, Armitage and Angel Ayora are all flying high in the Race to Dubai Rankings Delivered by DP World and will be looking to maintain momentum alongside Gumberg.

DLF G&CC set to test the best again

The beauty is a beast but we wouldn't have it any other way when we come to DLF G&CC. Last season just three players finished under par with only the par-five fourth (4.90) and par-four ninth (3.96) playing under their respective pars. 

Since we first came here in 2008 for the Johnnie Walker Classic there have been ten events played at DLF G&CC, with the average score for a round 1.25 over par. The total of 13,458 birdies and 324 eagles may seem hefty but is more than cancelled out by 12,521 bogeys, 2,337 doubles and 573 scores of more than plus two. Rarely is field versus course more intriguing than at DLF G&CC.

"Fitzy" captures Valspar title..Final Results

   PGA Tour : Valspar Championship   Leaderboard  Results

Since their Ryder Cup triumph last September at a very vulgar Bethpage, there have been wins for Rory, then Rosey, now it is time for Fitzy.

Last week Matt Fitzpatrick began Sunday 5 shots behind and was a shot ahead ay the Players on the 17th tee, then lost it to Cam Young on the 18th.  Despite a $2,000,000+ pay day the loss stung.

This week he began Sunday 3 shots behind front runner Sungjae Im, with popular veteran Brandt Snedeker turning back the clock right in the mix.

Well, it turned out Im couldn't make a putt, shot 74 to T7, Snedeker said he lost his game on the back nine 40, blew up to 76 T18.

Fitzy continued his fine form, 68 69 68 68 -11 good enough to edge world traveller David Lipsky 69 65 70 70 -10 with DP World Tour star Jordan Smith 3rd with 69 68 72 66 -9.

Matthew now has 3 PGA Tour wins including the US Open, and 9 more in Europe, he moves to #6 in the owgr, and will rejoin his Ryder Cup pals at Augusta with Rory #2, Tommy #4, Fitzy #6 and Rosy #7. 

Canadians  

AJ Ewart T11 71 72 68 67 -6

Corey Conners T14 69 69 70 71 -5

Mac Hughes T55 72 71 70 72

Next week it's the Texas Children's Houston Open as the Florida Swing wraps up.

Jordan Gumberg wire to wire winner Hainan Classic....Final Results/Prize Money

     DP World Tour : Hainin Classic  Leaderboard


Jordan Gumberg won the 2026 Hainan Classic presented by MAEXTRO after holding off playing partner Jorge Campillo on the final day.

Jordan Gumberg -opq4450339053

The American, who only kept his DP World Tour card for this season thanks to a hole-out eagle on the 72nd hole of last October's Genesis Championship in South Korea, can add China to his list of favourite Asian destinations after a one-stroke victory at Mission Hills.

A final round of 70 saw him finish -19 with Campillo's birdie putt at the last staying up as he finished -18.

"I don't have words right now," Gumberg said as he was interviewed beside the 18th green.

"Just to be (able to) plan your schedule knowing that you have a home for at least the next two or three years. After last year's ending of the season, this is amazing."

It was Gumberg's second DP World Tour win, just over two years on from his SDC Championship success in South Africa in March 2024. He moved up 105 places in the Race to Dubai to #15, with 2 years of exemption.

Three straight pars for both of the leaders set up a duel over the final three holes and as birdie putts continually refused to drop, their scores remained unchanged as Gumberg safely closed out the win with a well-judged up-and-down at the last.

"Jorge played great all day, it was a battle the entire way," he said.

"He was ahead at first, I was ahead, he was ahead, I was ahead, it just ended up a back-and-forth battle all day.

"He hit some phenomenal golf shots coming in and just putts weren't dropping for him - and putts weren't dropping for me either, so I'm just happy to be standing here talking to you right now."

A closing bogey denied 17-year-old Chinese star Yanhan Zhou a fourth successive 68 but he still shared third place on -15 with Marcus Armitage and Adrian Otaegui.

edit>>>> Canada's Aaron Cockerill started the week T3 66 however a 72 Friday then a 75 75 weekend saw him finish E T62.

Cockerill falls back, Campillo, Gumberg lead in China.. 54 hole results, Sunday TEE TIMES

     DP World Tour : Hainin Classic Tee Times Leaderboard

Jorge Campillo shot a second successive 67 to move alongside Jordan Gumberg in the lead of the 2026 Hainan Classic presented by MAEXTRO.

The Spaniard birdied four of his first seven holes on Moving Day and kept his card free of bogeys, with a fifth gain at the 12th enough to take him level with long-time leader Gumberg on -17.

South Africa's Dylan Frittelli was one shot behind after a 66 and will again join the leaders in the final group on Sunday at -16.

Home favourite Wenyi Ding was back in the clubhouse at -14 after a bogey-free 66. He was soon joined on that score by Euan Walker and Thriston Lawrence after the Scot fired seven birdies in his 66 and Lawrence shot 68.

Campillo said: "I played solid, I got off to a really good start and then the back nine, I think it's a little tougher. Bogey-free is always nice.

“It's quite exciting, I'm in the position you want to be. It's going to be a tough day.

"Dylan played really good today, also Jordan did, so it was a good match and hopefully tomorrow we can have the same match and I win.”

Gumberg said: “Today birdies didn’t come quite as easy but just kind of kept my head down again. Jorge and Dylan played great, they were kind of keeping me going a little bit.

“It was a good little battle out there and more to come tomorrow, I guess.

Frittelli said: "It was really good. I had a great time out there. Jorge and Jordan played really well. I was kind of just hanging on in the beginning.

"We all set a high tempo, I think, from the birdies in the beginning and then maybe a little lull in the middle of the round, but it was really fun, really comfortable.

"Hopefully we can continue that environment tomorrow and get in contention in the last few holes, and I'm sure we'll have fun if it's tight towards the end again

Ding, Walker and Lawrence shared 4th place while DP World Tour debutant Bo Jin was one shot behind them on -13 

Teenage Chinese star Yanhan Zhou shot 68 for the third day in succession to lie -12 alongside Marcus Armitage, Daniel Rodrigues and Yuto Katsuragawa in a share of 8th.

edit>>>> Canada's Aaron Cockerill fell out of contention with a 41 back nine for 75 and begins Sunday T48 -3
