He shared a picture of Humayun’s Tomb with a long caption, which says:

"Thoughts from DP World India: -I had a little trepidation before coming to India but I honestly had a great time this week. The golf course was super unique, but played into my strengths and everyone treated us great. I can’t thank DP World enough for inviting me and hosting an awesome tournament.

"-Special shoutout to the Oberoi hotel. Easily top 5 hotels I’ve ever stayed, mainly because of the staff. There’s a higher staff to guest ratio than anywhere I’ve been and every one of them treats you like a king. -Food was great. I never had the Delhi belly and there was lots of spice in the food which I loved," he added.

It was Tommy Fleetwood who shone in the DP World India Championship and registered a win.
