It sounds like a momentous occasion is on the horizon!
Golf seen from the eyes of esteemed players is bound to be electric! The already stunning lineup is likely to include Rory McIlroy, who is currently ranked as the World No. 3. The club’s captain has expressed confidence that McIlroy will be a part of this major event, and a special request to join has been made. Although McIlroy has never visited the nation before, he has shown keen interest in it, stating that he would love to explore the opportunity if his schedule permits.
What’s In It for the Golf Club?
This amazing tournament is not only beneficial for players but represents a significant milestone for the Delhi Golf Club itself. The hard work and dedication of club president Raj Khosla have led to this incredible opportunity. A tournament of this magnitude is expected to draw enormous attention, not just nationally but globally.
Now, if we compare it to other events in the region, the annual Hero Indian Open, which is also part of the DP World Tour, offers a prize purse of $2.25 million. Clearly, the upcoming event at the Delhi Golf Club is set to shatter records!
Exciting Times Ahead for Golf Enthusiasts
While preparations for the 2025 tournament are underway, there are still gaps in the DP World Tour 2025 calendar waiting to be filled, so golf aficionados should keep their eyes peeled for more announcements. Furthermore, the Hero Indian Open is scheduled to brighten up the golfing scene from March 27-30, 2025, at the DLF Golf and Country Club.
