Asian Tour, European Tour and the Professional Golf Tour of India, Bhullar is relishing the opportunity to serve notice of his talent at the high-profile event.
"I've been playing pretty well lately, so my form is good and my confidence is pretty high. Mentally, I'm feeling very sharp and positive, so hopefully I can get into contention coming down the stretch.
"I've won as an amateur at Jaypee Greens, so to get my first European Tour win there would be a dream come true," said Bhullar.
Jaypee Greens GC's 7,347 yards, par 72 layout was the longest course in Asia when it opened in 2000, and is still the longest � and the only Greg Norman design � in India.
Bhullar is hoping his intimate knowledge of the course will stand him in good stead as he bids to become the second home player � after the 2011 champion SSP Chowrasia � to lift the Avantha Masters trophy.
"Obviously I was delighted when I found out that Jaypee Greens would be hosting the Avantha Masters. I'm sure all the European Tour players are going to love playing there," he said.
"It's a beautiful layout, and it probably favours longer hitters, which plays to my strengths. But the greens can be very tricky to read, so you have to be really on your game to shoot low.
"Because I know the course well hopefully I'll have a bit of an advantage, but the quality of the field is so strong I'm sure the other guys will get up to speed very quickly," he added.
