Viktor Hovland and Shane Lowry to take part in DP World India Championship
Ryder Cup stars Viktor Hovland and Shane Lowry will take part in the DP World India Championship this October, joining a strong field that already includes Rory McIlroy, Tommy Fleetwood and local favourite Shubhankar Sharma.
The event is slated to taken place at the Delhi Golf Club from October 16 to 19.
Major winner Lowry, who lifted the Claret Jug at Royal Portrush in 2019, is set to make his third consecutive Ryder Cup appearance next week, as Team Europe aim to defend the trophy it won in Rome two years ago.
The Irishman, who is returning to Delhi for the first time since the 2010 Avantha Masters, said, “Having the opportunity to play in front of golf fans all over the world is one of the best parts of my job, so I’m really looking forward to going back to Delhi for the first edition of the DP World India Championship.”
Hovland, who was the first player from Norway to win on both the DP World Tour and PGA Tour, tasted further success this season when he claimed his 11th worldwide title at the Valspar Championship in Florida. The 27-year-old will join Lowry in making a third appearance for Team Europe at this year’s Ryder Cup.
He said, “I’ve heard a lot about Delhi as a city and I’m excited to tee it up in India for the first time at such a historic golf course. It’s shaping up to be a great event, and I’m looking forward to everything about the experience.”
