The Kapil Dev Invitational Tour Championship will be played at the Jaypee Greens Golf & Spa Resort, Greater Noida, from October 7–10. The tournament carries a prize purse of Rs 2 crore. The event will witness participation by 64 professionals, including the current Top-60 on the DP World PGTI Order of Merit. This is the last event before the Top-24 in the Race to DP World India Championship are sealed for the season finale the following week. The leading Indian professionals in the field include Indian star Shubhankar Sharma, reigning PGTI Order of Merit champion Yuvraj Sandhu, current PGTI Order of Merit leader Saptak Talwar, who will be playing at his home course, as well as Khalin Joshi, Veer Ahlawat, Honey Baisoya, Akshay Sharma and Rashid Khan, to name a few.

Besides Saptak Talwar, the other leading Greater Noida-based professionals in the field are Amardeep Malik and Arjun Sharma.

There are 10 foreign professionals competing from eight different countries. The foreign names in the field include Sri Lanka's N Thangaraja, Italy's Michele Ortolani, Bangladesh's Jamal Hossain, Badal Hossain and Md Akbar Hossain, Nepal's Subash Tamang, Czech Republic's Stepan Danek, Uganda's Joshua Seale, Thailand's Tanapat Pichaikool and Japan's Koichiro Ishika.

All four rounds of the tournament will feature a separate set of amateurs, with a different Pro-Am competition being held in every round alongside the professional rounds.

Each Pro-Am team will consist of one professional and one amateur. The amateurs will play in the modified scramble format, while the professionals will play in stroke play like all other DP World PGTI events. The professionals' scores will be counted towards both the professional leaderboard and the Pro-Am championship. The top three Pro-Am teams stand to win prizes at the end of each round.
