A Star-Studded Showcase of Women's Golf and Indian Talent

A Star-Studded Showcase

The 16th edition of the Women's Indian Open, India's premier women's golf tournament, is set to take place from October 24 to 27 at the DLF Golf and Country Club. This year's tournament promises to be a star-studded event, featuring seven winners from the current Ladies European Tour (LET) season, alongside other top international players.

With a prize pool of US$ 400,000, the tournament will also see a strong challenge from Indian players, who aim to build on their impressive performance in the 2023 edition, where three Indian golfers finished in the top 10.

Christine Wolf (2019), Camille Chevalier (2017), and Caroline Hedwall (2011). Additionally, winners from the 2023 and 2024 seasons are expected to join, alongside India's top players.

The tournament is supported by MotoCorp Ltd., which has been a steadfast supporter of the event. The WGAI is grateful for the support of MotoCorp Ltd., DLF Ltd., and the many other sponsors who continue to believe in the tournament and its cause.

The tournament is also proud of its long-standing partnership with the WGAI, which continues to inspire generations of female golfers across the country. The tournament is excited to work with its long-term partners in India once again to ensure another successful event.

In 2016, Aditi Ashok made history as the first Indian to win the Hero Women's Indian Open. Amandeep Drall came close to replicating this achievement in 2022, finishing tied for second place. The following year, Diksha Dagar, one of only two Indians to have won on the Ladies European Tour alongside Aditi, secured a third-place finish.

Of the tournament's sixteen editions, fourteen have been held at the renowned DLF Golf and Country Club, which also hosts a domestic women's pro event and the Hero Indian Open for men on its iconic Gary Player-designed course. Players from 11 different countries have claimed the Hero Women's Indian Open title, with Thailand standing out with four victories. Thailand's Pornanong Phatlum holds the record for the most wins, with three victories in 2008, 2009, and 2012. No other player has won the tournament more than once.
