Alex Fitzpatrick Claims DP World Tour Title at Hero Indian Open The 2026 Hero Indian Open prize money purse has been announced, with the total prize pool increasing to $2.55 million. The winner will receive a 17% share of the purse, which amounts to a significant payout for the DP World Tour. This victory marks a breakthrough for Alex Fitzpatrick, who secured his first title on the tour after a stellar performance at New Delhi’s DLF Country Club. Fitzpatrick’s triumph came just a week after his brother, Matt Fitzpatrick, won the Valspar Championship. The younger Fitzpatrick delivered a standout final round, carding eight birdies in his last 13 holes. His back-nine performance was so dominant that he could even afford a double-bogey on the 18th hole and still finish two shots ahead of defending champion Eugenio Lopez-Chacarra. The final round score of 69 (-3) solidified his victory, earning widespread praise for his resilience and skill. The win has left Fitzpatrick emotional, as he expressed his gratitude for the support he has received throughout his career. “It’s been a lot of hard work for a long time, and there’s a lot of people to thank for this,” he said, adding that he was “over the moon” and might cry with joy. The moment marked a career milestone for the golfer, who has long been regarded as a rising star in the sport. In addition to the prize money, the tournament’s winner will also earn 3,500 Race to Dubai points, further boosting Fitzpatrick’s standing in the tour’s rankings. The Hero Indian Open’s increased purse reflects the growing prominence of the event on the DP World Tour calendar, offering players a substantial financial incentive to compete at one of the sport’s most challenging venues.#dp_world_tour #matt_fitzpatrick #alex_fitzpatrick #hero_indian_open #eugenio_lopez_chacarra
