Leading Indian professional Shaurya Bhattacharya in action during the Practice Round
Kolkata: The DP World Players Championship Powered by Urbana is scheduled to be held at the Tollygunge Club in Kolkata from February 17 – 20, 2026. The tournament offers a prize purse of INR 1.5 crore.
DP World and PGTI recently announced a landmark multi-year partnership, under which the global logistics leader DP World became the Title Partner and Official Umbrella Partner of the PGTI, India’s premier professional golf tour.
Urbana, the Powered By Partner for the event, is not just another luxury project that has come into existence, it was a dream project of a few visionaries who believed that Kolkata deserved a world-class township project.
The third event of the 2026 DP World PGTI season will witness participation by 126 players. The stellar field at the event will feature leading Indian professionals Om Prakash Chouhan, Manu Gandas (both former DP World PGTI Order of Merit champions), Shaurya Bhattacharya, Honey Baisoya (last week’s winner in Delhi), Angad Cheema and Ajeetesh Sandhu, to name a few. Sri Lanka’s N Thangaraja (three-time winner on the DP World PGTI last year) and American Jhared Hack (winner of the 2026 season-opener) will be the leading foreign names in the field.
The field has some prominent names from the host city of Kolkata including Shankar Das (former DP World PGTI Order of Merit champion), Viraj Madappa, Mohammad Sanju, Divyanshu Bajaj, Indrajit Bhalotia and Karan Verma.
Mr. Pradeep Sureka from Urbana, said, “We are excited to be associated with the PGTI’s prestigious DP World Players Championship. Golf embodies precision, patience and persistence—qualities that mirror our philosophy in real estate development. Partnering with the PGTI for the DP World Players Championship aligns with our commitment to fostering growth, talent and healthy lifestyles. We look forward to making our contribution in promoting golf in Kolkata and cheering on India’s finest professionals.”
Mr. Amandeep Johl, CEO, Professional Golf Tour of India (PGTI), said, “We are delighted to be back at the Tollygunge Club, an iconic golfing venue of India, for the second DP World Players Championship of the season. We thank Urbana and Tollygunge Club for partnering with us in staging the event. The DP World Players Championship, launched earlier this month, reflects the strength of PGTI’s partnership with DP World and our shared vision of providing Indian players with world-class competitive platforms. After a momentous debut for the DP World Players Championship in New Delhi last week, we look forward to the tournament making an even bigger impact in the sports-loving city of Kolkata this week.”Top of Form
