India will host its first-ever Asian Development Tour (ADT) tournament with the launch of the TAKE Solutions India Masters from October 29 to November 1 in Bangalore.
TAKE Solutions, the Asian Tour and PGTI have come together to unveil the TAKE Solutions India Masters where this joint initiative tournament will receive Official World Golf Ranking status, with the winner earning six world ranking points.
The newest addition to the ADT, which is the gateway to the premier Asian Tour, will raise this season's ADT Schedule to an unprecedented 21 tournaments. The inaugural USD 70,000 tournament will be staged at Eagleton Golf Resort in Bengaluru.
Srinivasan H R, Vice Chairman & Managing Director, TAKE Solutions said: "We are delighted and honoured to partner with the Asian Tour and PGTI to launch India's very first Asian Development Tour tournament. Through this association, it is our vision for the TAKE Solutions India Masters to provide the impetus for aspiring professional golfers from India to succeed on the ADT, and subsequently on the Asian Tour.
"For almost a decade, we have been the proud sponsor of the official Indian qualifying tournament to the World Corporate Golf Challenge, acting as the gateway for highly competitive and skilled Indian corporate golfing teams to the international arena."
At 7,100 yards, the par-72 Eagleton Golf Resort will pose a stern test to the ADT hopefuls seeking to win the inaugural TAKE Solutions India Masters. The championship course features dramatic elevation changes while water hazards and bunkers will pose a big challenge to golfers.
