The 2026 DP World India Championship is all set to begin this Thursday, October 15, at the Delhi Golf Club. This tournament features 132 golfers, and while there are many well-known stars as part of this field, there are also some underdogs who have the potential to flip the tables. Here are five of the tournament’s sleeper picks:
#5 Alex Fitzpatrick
Alex Fitzpatrick had a solid performance in the 2025 DP World India Championship. Fitzpatrick was in incredible form throughout the tournament, and there is a chance he can do so again this week. He has been in terrific form this year, winning the 2026 Zurich Classic, and if he maintains this form, he might be a significant threat on the DP World Tour.
#4 Jacob Skov Olesen
Jacob Skov Olesen is often overlooked in the packed field, but he has consistently played well when things go his way on the golf course. Olesen recently finished solo fourth on the leaderboard at the 2026 Open de España, providing him with plenty of momentum heading into this week’s tournament.
#3 Jorge Campillo
Jorge Campillo‘s performance in the 2026 season has been volatile. Campillo had two runner-up finishes in the 2026 season, so he has the momentum to deliver another strong performance. He also has a strong track record at the Delhi Golf Club, which makes him a solid sleeper option for the 2026 DP World India Championship.
#2 Adrian Otaegui
Adrian Otaegui is one of the top golfers who will compete at the 2026 DP World India Championship. Otaegui has five tournament wins in his career, but is now on a two-year winless run. The golfer will have plenty of experience this week, which he may use to potentially win a massive tournament at Delhi Golf Club.
#1 Thriston Lawrence
Thriston Lawrence is a proven winner on the DP World Tour, having won a tournament earlier this season. Lawrence recently finished in the top 15 at the 2026 Open de España, showing that he has strong momentum. The golfer can also pose a big threat this week, as he has the capacity to carry the same momentum and win the entire tournament.
