Major champion Justin Rose, currently ranked fifth globally, will debut professionally in India at the India Championship scheduled from October 15-18 at Delhi Golf Club. Rose will be among top players like defending champion Tommy Fleetwood and back-to-back Masters winner Rory McIlroy at the USD 4,000,000 event. Rose expressed his excitement about adding India to his list of played locations, highlighting his eagerness to experience the country’s passionate golf fans.
Co-sanctioned with the Professional Golf Tour of India (PGTI), the tournament offers the largest prize fund ever for a DP World Tour event in India. It will be a crucial part of the Race to Dubai’s Back 9 phase. Rose, reflecting on his upcoming participation, mentioned his anticipation of teeing off at the DP World India Championship for the first time and exploring Delhi’s offerings. The event is expected to draw significant attention from golf enthusiasts.
Joining fellow Englishman Fleetwood, who clinched victory in the previous season, Rose is set to add another milestone to his career. Fleetwood’s win marked his eighth DP World Tour title, capping off a remarkable season that included a FedExCup triumph and a successful Ryder Cup appearance. McIlroy, fresh off his sixth Major win and second Green Jacket, will also be part of the event in October. Rose, a seasoned player with a U.S. Open title and an Olympic Gold Medal to his name, has consistently excelled in the global golf arena.
Having secured his 13th PGA TOUR victory earlier this season, Rose’s reputation in the sport is well-established. His notable achievements include multiple Ryder Cup appearances, with the latest one contributing to Europe’s away win against the USA in 2018. With a rich history in golf and a strong competitive spirit, Rose’s debut in India promises to be a significant moment for both the player and fans alike.
