Rory McIlroy says Tommy Fleetwood inspired his new baggy pants look, but it's 'a work in progress'
- The second edition of the DP World India Championship tees off Thursday at the Delhi Golf Club , with defending champion Tommy Fleetwood returning to lead a world-class field competing for the title.
- Masters champion Rory McIlroy noted the rough is "a lot longer and thicker than it was last year," demanding strategic iron play over distance rather than big hitting at the demanding venue.
- Competing for a $4 million purse, the field features three of the four 2026 Major winners, including Justin Rose, Patrick Reed, and Shane Lowry, alongside veteran Luke Donald.
- Recalling his 2025 victory, Fleetwood noted that son Frankie's celebration on the 18th green remains a key "motivating factor" for his performance this week.
- As the penultimate event of the regular season, the championship is critical for the Race to Dubai, where McIlroy, Reed, and Eugenio Chacarra are locked in a three-way battle for the lead.
