India is golf’s next hotspot

NEW DELHI: India is set to become the next big golfing destination after the cricket-obsessed Nation hosts two multi-million dollar events in early 2008. Top stars like Ernie Els and Colin Montgomery are expected to showcase the European Tour’s maiden entry into the country with the $2.5 million Indian Masters at the Delhi Golf Club from February 7 to 10, 2008.

Three weeks later, the DLF Country Club on the outskirts of the Indian capital will host the Johnnie Walker Classic, another prestigious $2.5 million event, from February 28 to March 2, 2008. The prize money for each event is five times bigger than the one offered by the $500,000 Indian Open, a regular feature on the Asian Tour event and the richest golf tournament in the country.
