A host of Indian golfers believe that the inaugural EMAAR-MGF Indian Masters will signal the rise of Indian golf and showcase to the rest of the world the quality and depth of golfing talents in the country when the four-day tournament begins at the Delhi Golf Club Feb 7. The strong Indian contingent, led by 2006 Asian Tour Order of Merit winner Jeev Milkha Singh, will be challenging for top honours against a star-studded field that includes world number five Ernie Els, Thomas Bjorn, Darren Clark and Mark O’Meara.

The Indian Masters is sanctioned by the Asian Tour, European Tour and Professional Golf Tour of India.
