DP World PGTI to fund up to ₹3 lakh for top-30 players’ overseas Q‑school costs

The DP World PGTI announced on Friday, October 16, 2026, at a press conference at the Delhi Golf Club in New Delhi that it will cover overseas qualifying-school expenses of up to ₹3 lakh for its top-30 players from the Order of Merit.

The support applies to overseas qualifying schools, including those for the DP World Tour, Japan Golf Tour and Asian Tour. Amandeep Johl, CEO, DP World PGTI, said in a press conference at Delhi Golf Club: "At DP World PGTI, we have always been clear that this organisation is about the players." Kapil Dev, president of DP World PGTI, also addressed the media.

Kapil Dev spoke about improving access to practice facilities and the barriers players face in getting entry to quality courses. He said: "One thing I have understood about golf is that players need a platform. There are many good courses where our professionals cannot easily go and practise. They have to go through the process of getting access and paying fees. If we could open those doors, even for our top-25, 30, 40 or 50 players, and allow them to practise in their own cities, I believe it would help their performances. They need infrastructure not just to compete but to practise," said Kapil, a former India cricket captain.

The announcement was accompanied by media coverage from the event at Delhi Golf Club; a photograph of Kapil Dev addressing the media is credited to R.V. Moorthy and the story was published on October 16, 2026 at 06:56 pm IST.

Players who go on to qualify from the overseas Q‑schools will each receive a further ₹10 lakh.
