New Delhi: Leading lights of women's golf in India and Europe firmly believe the Emaar-MGF Ladies Masters will mark "an epochal moment" for Indian ladies golf when the event gets under way at the picturesque Eagleton Resort at Bangalore from December 5 to 8.
Co-sanctioned by the Ladies European Tour (LET), the Women's Golf Association of India and the Indian Golf Union, the inaugural tournament, being promoted and organised by 'golf in DUBAI,' will see a strong field of 114 contesting for a share in the massive euro 200,000 prize fund.
Of the 114 players, 12 spots have been reserved for Indian professionals, a move which has left the home-grown players rubbing their hands in anticipation.
"The tournament, the richest golf event ever to be played in India, will feature top stars and it could well mark the beginning of a golfing revolution in India," said William Rattazzi, CEO of Emaar-MGF in New Delhi.
