The DP World India Championship on Saturday unveiled the Lotus Trophy, the official prize for the winner of the inaugural event, drawing inspiration from two timeless symbols of India — the Taj Mahal and the lotus flower. The Lotus Trophy features a scalloped top edge that echoes the domes of the Taj Mahal. At its heart, the centrepiece is a 9-point lotus flower cut pattern, referencing the Lotus Temple and the cultural significance of the number nine. The stem of the trophy is crafted in the shape of a golf ball.

The DP World India Championship will be the eighth of nine events in the ‘Back 9' phase of the 2025 Race to Dubai, leading up to the season-ending DP World Tour Play-Offs and culminating in the DP World Tour Championship in November at Jumeirah Golf Estates in Dubai.

The DP World India Championship marks another significant step in establishing India as a premier destination for world-class golf. It follows the successful staging of the 2010 Hero Indian Open, won by Eugenio Chacarra, and builds on the growing momentum of the DP World Tour in the region.
