McIlroy is set to play in the DP World India Championship, Oct. 16-19.
—
Rory McIlroy announced Wednesday his commitment to the inaugural DP World India Championship, Oct. 16-19 at Delhi Golf Club.
It will be McIlroy’s first tournament in the country.
“I’m excited to not only tee it up in India for the first time but also visit a country that I’ve always wanted to explore,” McIlroy said in a press release.
“I’ve always enjoyed playing a global schedule and as I have previously said, there is tremendous potential to grow golf further in the country. This is a great opportunity, and I can’t wait to play in front of Indian golf fans.”
McIlroy, who completed the career Grand Slam with his Masters victory, has previously stated a desire to play more outside the U.S., particularly once the FedExCup season concludes in August. This $4 million event takes place three weeks after the Ryder Cup and three weeks before the DP World Tour finale in Dubai, at which McIlroy is the defending champion.
