NEW DELHI: Golf in India has never seen excitement. There was an undeniable buzz a decade ago, when Tiger Woods came to India in 2014. This time around, the buzz is even bigger as Rory McIlroy, the latest Grand Slam achiever and the newest owner of golf’s biggest prize – the Green Jacket - opened his DP India Championship campaign on his first visit to India.
Standing in an eye-catching and expansive two-tiered balcony overlooking the 18th green, Yuvraj Narain, the Deputy CEO and Chief Financial Officer of DP World, was watching McIlroy come down the fairway.
He added, “We believe golf is ready to take its place on the Indian sporting stage. For too long it has been viewed as an elite pursuit, but that perception is changing. By bringing the best players in the world here, we can inspire young Indians to see golf as a sport for everyone, one that reflects India’s global ambition.”
