The DP World Tour and players remain on the continent of Asia to contest the Hero Indian Open at the DLF Golf & Country Club this weekend. Who will win the second leg of the Asian Swing come Sunday?

Eugenio Chacarra returns to defend his title after a two-stroke victory over Keita Nakajima in 2025.

Former Open champion Francesco Molinari is in the field.

These are our four selections that could win the title this weekend.

David Puig

David Puig has been ultra-consistent in the LIV Golf League this season, placing T7 at the Hero Dubai Desert Classic, T4 in Riyadh, T51 in Adelaide, T8 in Hong Kong, T21 in Singapore, and T6 in South Africa last weekend.

Before that, Puig had a perfect beginning to his season on the DP World Tour, winning the BMW Australian PGA Championship and missing the cut at the Crown Australian Open before placing T3 at the Dubai Invitational.

The 24-year-old will make his debut at the 2026 Hero Indian Open this weekend.

Puig will have a chance of victory at the DLF Golf & Country Club, as he has registered four top-ten finishes in six events.

Casey Jarvis

Casey Jarvis has been in tremendous touch on the DP World Tour lately, winning back-to-back titles at the Magical Kenya Open and the Investec South African Open Championship and placing T2 at the Joburg Open.

Before those performances, Jarvis began his season with a T32 at the Alfred Dunhill Championship, a 3rd at the AfrAsia Bank Mauritius Open, a T56 at the Hero Dubai Desert Classic, a T9 at the Bahrain Championship, MC at the Qatar Masters, and a T13 at the NTT Data Pro-Am.

The South African finished T55 overall at the 2025 Hero Indian Open on debut.

Jarvis has been on top of his game lately and can win his third title of the year come Sunday.

Angel Ayora

Angel Ayora has been in solid form on the DP World Tour in his last five starts, placing T5 at the Qatar Masters, T8 at the Magical Kenya Open, T9 at the Investec South African Open Championship, T18 at the Joburg Open, and T28 at the Hainan Classic last weekend.

Before that, Ayora recorded a T8 at the Nedbank Golf Challenge, a T46 at the Alfred Dunhill Championship, a T21 at the AfrAsia Bank Mauritius Open, a T13 at the Dubai Invitational, a T26 at the Hero Dubai Desert Classic, and an MC at the Bahrain Championship.

The young Spaniard finished T52 at the 2025 Hero Indian Open on debut.

Ayora has been knocking hard and has claims for the title at the DLF Golf & Country Club this weekend.

Elvis Smylie

Elvis Smylie has performed well during his debut season in the LIV Golf League, winning in Riyadh and finishing T27 in Adelaide, T8 in Hong Kong, T28 in Singapore, and T44 in South Africa last weekend.

Before that, Smylie contested three tournaments on the DP World Tour, placing T19 at the BMW Australian PGA Championship and T8 at the Crown Australian Open before missing the cut at the Dubai Invitational.

The Australian will make his debut at the 2026 Hero Indian Open this weekend.

Smylie has been in solid form this season and can emerge victorious in Delhi this weekend.

Verdict

Puig has looked good in recent outings and has the game to come out on top in India.

Jarvis has been holding form lately and can win another DP World Tour title come Sunday.

Ayora has done nothing wrong this season and will fancy his chances to get over the finish line at the DLF Golf & Country Club this weekend.

Smylie has the form to cause an upset victory in Delhi this weekend.
