New Delhi, 27 October 2026: DP World Professional Golf Tour of India (DP World PGTI) and Business Today have announced a partnership for the 27th season of BT Golf, the corporate golf series aimed at business leaders.
The announcement was made at the Qutub Golf Course in New Delhi, where DP World PGTI President Kapil Dev joined professional golfers and Business Today editors for a pitch-and-putt session.
This year’s series will be played in eight cities, starting at the Tollygunge Club in Kolkata on 31 October. BT Golf will keep its multi-city format across major business hubs, and the organisers say more venues will be added in future seasons.
DP World PGTI is the governing and sanctioning body for men’s professional golf in India. BT Golf has been running for 27 years and was India’s first corporate golf platform.
