"Speaking further about golf in India, Tiger Woods said, "What Pawan (Munjal) has done with Hero in India, that's important and that's how I see the game growing in India. It was fun being in Delhi to see the excitement and level of Indian golf. And also I got a chance to watch Cheyene (Woods' niece, who took part in Hero Women's Indian Open)."


Mr Munjal said, “Hero’s association with Tiger Woods and the Hero World Challenge is reflective of our rapidly growing global footprint. Our association with the event has been an exciting one and this year, we are happy to introduce Hero ambassador and Indian talent Anirban Lahiri to this prestigious marquee event."This is the first year the event has moved outside the US. The first round of the 18-player game will start on 3rd December and the results will be announced on 6th December.
