The young South African golfer is celebrating the biggest win of his career after an unforgettable week in Spain.
Barcelona, Spain (11 May 2026) – South African golfer Yurav Premlall delivered the performance of his life in Spain this weekend, storming to a remarkable 14-shot victory at the Estrella Dam Catalunya Championship to secure his maiden DP World Tour title. And he did it in style.
Premlall finished the tournament at a staggering 28-under-par, capping off a week where almost everything seemed to click. From long-range putts to composed shot-making under pressure, the young South African looked completely in control as the chasing pack struggled to keep up.
His dominant victory margin also saw him surpass one of golf’s biggest names, with the win becoming the largest margin of victory for a maiden winner on the DP World Tour, a record previously held by Tiger Woods.

But despite the history-making performance, Premlall admitted afterwards that it still hadn’t fully sunk in.
“There are no words,” he said after lifting the trophy. “I’ve worked so hard to get into this position and it’s so rewarding to finally see the results of it. The last eight or nine months have been such a struggle just to build myself onto a platform where I knew I could give myself a chance to win.”

“I had a goal today and that was to execute every shot until that final putt goes in. I can’t give myself enough credit today. It was probably the most complete performance I’ve ever put together purely because of how I executed my process.”
There was also a lighter moment after the win when attention turned to the putter that helped power his incredible week.
“That putter’s staying in the bag for sure. Or there’s going to be a replica of it soon.”
The victory feels like the arrival of another exciting talent on the international stage.
