The second event of the Asian Tour's 2025 season is a big one as the inaugural International Series India takes place at DLF Golf and Country Club.
Set to feature a number of LIV Golf League stars such as Bryson DeChambeau and Joaquin Niemann, the total prize purse is four times larger than at the season-opening Smart Infinity Philippine Open, where $500,000 was on the line.
The winner this week will take home $360,000 from a prize pot of $2 million, half-a-million down on the DP World Tour's Bahrain Championship this week and 10% of the PGA Tour's AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am - which is the second Signature Event on the top US circuit's schedule.
Aside from the money at stake in India, the first of 10 elevated events on the Asian Tour calendar offers players the chance to make the best possible start in their pursuit of a potential LIV Golf League place. The winner of the International Series - providing they are not already exempt - could earn a contract with the PIF-backed circuit.
Below is the prize money payout for the International Series India 2025.
