Women's Indian Open 2025: The Women’s Indian Open 2025 is back boasting a powerful line-up yet again, as world-class golfers from across the globe converge in Gurugram for the 2025 edition of India’s flagship women’s golf tournament. Scheduled from October 9–12, 2025, the tournament will once again be held at the iconic DLF Golf & Country Club, which will be hosting the event for the 15th time.
Acknowledged as a leading event on the Ladies European Tour (LET) since 2010, the Hero Women’s Indian Open has experienced significant growth since it began in 2007. This year, the prize purse for the tournament has been increased to USD $500,000, highlighting its growing prominence on the global golf calendar.
Global Stars Meet India’s Finest
A strong group of emerging local players from the Women’s Pro Golf Tour (Hero WPGT) will also join them in this edition. It serves as a vital stepping-stone for Indian golfers aiming to compete on the Ladies European Tour (LET) and beyond.
The 2025 edition will feature a stellar international line-up, including defending champion Liz Young, current LET Order of Merit leader Mimi Rhodes, and rising star Anna Huang, the 16-year-old Canadian sensation who recently secured back-to-back wins on the LET. Other top contenders include Chiara Tamburlini, Alice Hewson, Shannon Tan, and Sara Kouskova — all multiple-time winners on the 2025 LET season, making this year’s field the strongest in tournament history.
A Launchpad for Legends
Women’s Indian Open has a proud history of producing champions who have gone on to achieve legendary status in the sport. Notably, Yani Tseng, the 2007 Indian Open winner, rose to become the world’s No. 1 female golfer, while Pornanong Phatlum, the tournament’s only three-time champion, is now a regular on the prestigious LPGA Tour—the pinnacle of women’s professional golf.
The 2010 champion, Laura Davies, is regarded as a global icon in women’s golf. Many other past winners, including Jasmine Suwannapura, Emily Kristine Pedersen, Caroline Hedwall, Aditi Ashok, Olivia Cowan, and Aline Krauter, have also established themselves as stars on the European and LPGA tours.
