Deputy ceo

The DP World India Championship: Golf in India has never seen excitement. There was an undeniable buzz a decade ago, when Tiger Woods came to India in 2014. This time around, the buzz is even bigger as Rory McIlroy, the latest Grand Slam achiever and the newest owner of golf’s biggest prize – the Green Jacket - opened his DP India Championship campaign on his first visit to India.

Standing in an eye-catching and expansive two-tiered balcony overlooking the 18th green, Yuvraj Narain, the Deputy CEO and Chief Financial Officer of DP World, was watching McIlroy come down the fairway.

He remarked, “Every sport needs a trigger to capture people’s imagination. The DP World India Championship is exactly that. When young Indians see Rory McIlroy, Tommy Fleetwood or Viktor Hovland competing on their home soil, it plants the seed for a lifelong connection with the game.”
