5 golfers who underperformed their odds at the DP World India Championship 2025 ft. Rory McIlroy

The DP World India Championship concluded on October 19 at Delhi Golf Club, with Tommy Fleetwood standing tall as the winner. It was one of Fleetwood's most significant wins, and he even celebrated it with his family. While the golfer performed just as his odds, some of the other most well-known names failed to meet expectations.

Here's a look at five players who had strong form and hype going into the DP World India Championship, but they underperformed.

John Parry has been one of the most consistent performing golfers this season. On top of his form, he has also secured a win at the AfrAsia Bank Mauritius Open, which was hosted by Mont Choisy Le Golf. While he had odds of +3500 to win the DP World India Championship, Parry's game fell flat, and he did not even reach the tournament cut.

The golfer finished the event with a total score of +2 after 36 holes at Delhi Golf Club.

#4 Angel Ayora

This season, Angel Ayora's form has been nothing short of erratic. He is still looking for his first win this season and is heading to the DP World India Championship with odds of +2800. While there was high anticipation for Ayora to win the tournament, things did not go his way. After 36 holes, he missed the cut and finished tied for 67th place with a total score of 1 over par.

Walking into the event, he had odds of +1800, but his final results were radically contrary. Harman finished with a total score of 11 under par, tied for 26th place.
