Shubhankar Sharma, Yuvraj Sandhu headline field at Kapil Dev Invitational Tour Championship
Shubhankar Sharma and Yuvraj Sandhu will headline a strong field when the Rs 2 crore Kapil Dev Invitational Tour Championship gets underway at the Jaypee Greens Golf & Spa Resort on October 7.
The tournament returns for its fourth edition and will be staged as the Tour Championship for the first time, with 64 professionals set to compete. The field includes the current top 60 on the DP World PGTI Order of Merit.
The event also carries added significance as it is the final tournament before the top 24 players in the Race to DP World India Championship are confirmed for the season-ending event next week.
Alongside Sharma and reigning Order of Merit champion Sandhu, current leader Saptak Talwar will be one of the key names in action at his home course. Khalin Joshi, Veer Ahlawat, Honey Baisoya, Akshay Sharma and Rashid Khan are also part of the field.
Greater Noida-based professionals Amardeep Malik and Arjun Sharma will join Talwar in competing on familiar terrain.
The tournament will also feature 10 overseas professionals from eight countries, including Sri Lanka’s N. Thangaraja, Italy’s Michele Ortolani, Bangladesh’s Jamal Hossain, Nepal’s Subash Tamang, Czech Republic’s Stepan Danek, Uganda’s Joshua Seale, Thailand’s Tanapat Pichaikool and Japan’s Koichiro Ishika.
Kapil Dev, president of the DP World Professional Golf Tour of India, said the event would bring together the leading professionals on the Tour while also giving amateurs a chance to experience a professional competitive environment.
He added that the race for the final top-24 places would further raise the intensity of the competition.
