The Road to Mallorca returned for the USD $300,000 DP World PGTI Open at Classic Golf & Country Club in Delhi, a co-sanctioned event between the HotelPlanner Tour and the DP World Professional Golf Tour of India (PGTI).
The HotelPlanner Tour returned to Classic Golf & Country Club for the third consecutive year, following successful visits to Delhi in 2024 and 2025. In 2024, England’s John Parry claimed the title at 20 under par, finishing one shot clear of a three-way tie for second. The victory was his first in 14 years and sparked a sharp rise in the Official World Golf Rankings. Two years on, he added two more HotelPlanner Tour titles, secured his first DP World Tour win since 2010 and held dual membership with the PGA TOUR as the world number 83. In 2025, Spaniard Quim Vidal triumphed after a play-off victory over England’s Joshua Berry, and went on to earn promotion to the DP World Tour by the end of the season.
Maximilian Kieffer returned to India, the site of his maiden HotelPlanner Tour victory at the 2012 Gujarat Kensville Challenge, where he defeated Rahil Gangjee in a play-off after the pair finished tied at seven under par. That win proved the launchpad for a strong season, earning him his DP World Tour card. The German went on to spend 13 years on Golf’s Global Tour and became a winner in 2022 at the D+D Real Czech Masters. Kieffer arrived back on the HotelPlanner Tour following a tied 18th finish at the CIRCA Cape Town Open and looked to draw on his past success in India.
Situated 37 kilometres south of Delhi, Classic Golf & Country Club is South Asia’s first 27-hole signature course and was designed by Jack Nicklaus. The championship layout sits against the backdrop of the Aravalli mountains. In 2000, the venue became the first private club to host the Indian Open and staged the event again in 2001.
MJ Daffue produced a bogey-free final round to seal a second HotelPlanner Tour title in two months on a thrilling final day of the DP World PGTI Open.
