The DP World India Championship is currently underway at the Delhi Golf Club. The tournament is highly anticipated in the world as it is the biggest golf tournament hosted in the country to date. This tournament’s 138-golfer field even includes 5 of the world’s top 15 golfers, and after Round 1 concluded on October 16, Shane Lowry is leading the event.

The Delhi Golf Club’s Lodhi course, which is hosting this tournament, has a layout that has narrow fairways between a lot of trees. This means that accuracy is one of the most important aspects of the 2025 DP World India Championship, and Shane Lowry appears to have excelled in it during round one. Lowry enjoyed a bogey-free round, finishing with 8 birdies for a total of 8 under par.

Interestingly, the Irish golfer does not have a large advantage because the scoreboard is extremely close, and amateur golfer Keita Nakajima is in second position with a total score of 7 under par. Aside from that, Rory Mcllroy, who is playing his first golf tournament in India, had a great first round in the DP World India Championship, finishing with a total score of 3 under par and now tied for 17th place.
