Kohler joins DP World India Championship as Official Partner

Kohler India has joined the DP World India Championship 2026 as an Official Partner, bringing the kitchen and bath design brand into one of India’s leading international golf tournaments.

The tournament is being held at Delhi Golf Club from October 15 to 18, with a field featuring major champions Rory McIlroy and Justin Rose, alongside defending champion Tommy Fleetwood. The DP World Tour and the DP World Professional Golf Tour of India (DP World PGTI) co-sanction the event.

As part of the partnership, Kohler will create an experiential zone within the tournament’s fan zone. Visitors will be able to participate in golf-inspired activities, including a putting challenge, and enter a lucky draw offering the opportunity to experience one of Kohler’s golf courses overseas.

Bringing Kohler’s golf portfolio to India

Golf is an established part of Kohler’s international hospitality portfolio. The company operates championship golf courses in Wisconsin, United States, including Whistling Straits, located along Lake Michigan, and Blackwolf Run.

Its golf offerings also extend beyond championship courses. The portfolio includes The Baths, a 10-hole par-three course and putting facility, as well as the Kohler Golf Academy and Kohler Swing Studio. These facilities cater to different levels of golfers, combining course play with training and recreational experiences.

The India partnership follows Kohler’s earlier involvement with the NDTV Golf Pro-Am, a nationwide series that brought together professional golfers, business leaders and enthusiasts at courses across the country. The association included golf clinics and curated experiences, with former India cricket captain Kapil Dev among the sporting names associated with the platform.

Ranjeet Oak, President of Kohler Kitchen & Bath South Asia, said: “Golf has been an important part of Kohler’s global heritage, and our association with the DP World India Championship 2026 is a natural extension of this legacy. At Kohler, we believe that precision and performance are fundamental to creating exceptional experiences, whether in design or sport. Through this partnership, we look forward to celebrating these shared values while strengthening our engagement with India’s growing community of golf enthusiasts, business leaders and the design fraternity.”

DP World India Championship’s partner platform

Launched by DP World and the DP World Tour in 2025, the DP World India Championship carries a prize fund of US$4 million for its 2026 edition. The event allows Indian golfers to compete at home alongside international players and forms part of the DP World Tour’s Race to Dubai calendar.

Kohler’s official partnership adds another brand to the tournament’s commercial line-up. The company’s on-site activation is designed to give spectators an opportunity to engage with golf beyond watching the competition, through participation-based activities and a potential overseas golf experience.

The financial terms of Kohler’s partnership have not been disclosed in the announcement.
