The fifth leg of the Hero Women’s Pro Golf Tour starts at the DLF Golf and Country Club here on Tuesday. This time, the purse of ₹11 lakhs, the highest this season, will act as an added incentive for the golfers.
The field has 37 players, including six amateurs, making it one of the largest on the WPGT. Barring Ladies European Tour regulars Tvesa Malik and Diksha Dagar, who are scheduled to play at the Saudi Ladies International this week, many good players will be in action.
