The Hero Indian Open (HIO), one of Asia’s most prestigious golf tournaments, is set for its 2026 edition with a world-class field and a record prize purse. Sanctioned by the DP World Tour and Indian Golf Union (IGU), the tournament will be held from March 26-29, 2026 at the DLF Golf and Country Club, Gurugram.

The prize purse has been increased to a record USD $2.55 million, up from USD $2.25 million on offer a year ago. Hero MotoCorp has been the title sponsor of the event since 2005 and the unbroken association now enters its third decade, a record for any event in India and Asia. The event has been co-sanctioned with the DP World Tour since 2015 and this association is now more than a decade old, once again a record for any event in the region. 

The tournament will feature a world-class field led by PGA Tour star Akshay Bhatia and Major champion Francesco Molinari, along with top Indian golfers.
