Golf: PGTI's 2026 Season Off To A Cracking Start
A key measure of that progress is prize money. In the early domestic phase of the season, DP World PGTI staged three events carrying prize purses of ₹1.5 crore each, creating a combined purse pool of ₹4.5 crore. That marks an important rise in the financial scale of Indian professional golf. The SECL Chhattisgarh Open, for example, saw its purse increase from ₹1 crore to ₹1.5 crore year-on-year. For players, that means stronger incentives and more competitive weeks. For sponsors and partners, it reflects a tour with increasing value and credibility.
The season began in Naya Raipur with the SECL Chhattisgarh Open Golf Championship from February 3 to 6. The event stood out not only because of its ₹1.5 crore purse, but also because it was staged in an emerging market rather than a traditional metro. It showed that professional golf can attract attention and deliver strong competition outside its established centres. American golfer Jhared Hack underlined that with a memorable win, including a brilliant final-round 59, as he finished five shots clear in the season opener.
