Singh pointed out the rapid growth of golf in India, citing the emergence of promising young players, a robust junior program, and a flourishing professional tour.
The tournament will feature a strong contingent of 10 Indian golfers, including the host Jeev Milkha Singh and fellow Legends Tour member Jyoti Randhawa.
