Hyderabad, April 13, 2026 – Golf enthusiasts are buzzing as Boulder Hills Golf & Country Club prepares to host the inaugural Boulders Classic, a landmark event in Indian professional golf. Jointly organized with the DP World Professional Golf Tour of India (PGTI), the tournament kicks off tomorrow, April 14, running through April 17, with a tempting prize purse of INR 1 crore.
This debut marks the PGTI’s first visit to the club’s stunning 18-hole championship course, drawing 132 pros from India and abroad for stroke-play battles. Headliners include global sensations Shubhankar Sharma, a two-time DP World Tour victor, and Yuvraj Sandhu, the 2025 PGTI Order of Merit king and regular on the international circuit. They’ll face stiff competition from top Indians like Saptak Talwar, the current PGTI leaderboard leader, Veer Ahlawat, Om Prakash Chouhan, Manu Gandas, Honey Baisoya, and Ajeetesh Sandhu. Sri Lanka’s N Thangaraja leads 20 international contenders from 10 nations, while Hyderabad’s own Mohd Azhar, Vishesh Sharma, Syed Safdar Hussain, SNLG Varam Raju, Sumit Kotwal, and Anirudh Kamireddypalli aim to shine locally.
The schedule builds excitement: a Pro-Am on April 12 paired pros with amateurs, Monday’s practice rounds set the stage, and the main event culminates in Friday’s prize ceremony. PGTI President Kapil Dev hailed it as a “landmark addition,” praising the venue’s challenging layout and facilities for boosting opportunities. CEO Amandeep Johl echoed the sentiment, calling Boulder Hills a “visually stunning” new gem on the tour.
