How to attend
Entry is very cheap and often free with advance online registration, distributed through Indian ticketing platforms such as BookMyShow and the tour site. Register ahead of the week rather than turning up at the gate. Practice rounds early in the week offer the loosest access, and the venue is a straightforward 40-minute drive from Delhi airport.
The 2027 dates are unconfirmed and the tournament site has no registration or ticket page open; entry is normally free or very cheap and released through Indian ticketing platforms a few weeks ahead.
Insider tip
The DLF Gary Player course is one of the hardest layouts the DP World Tour visits, with quarried rock faces and water on most of the back nine - go on a practice day when access inside the ropes is loose and you can see just how severe the greens are.
