Gurugram (Haryana) [India], December 4 (ANI): The International Series is set to make its historic debut in the Indian subcontinent next year, bringing together the stars of the LIV Golf League and top players from the Asian Tour for the International Series India, the opening tournament of a groundbreaking 2025 calendar.
The prestigious event, with a prize purse of US$2 million, will be held at the picturesque and exclusive DLF Golf and Country Club in Gurugram, on the outskirts of Delhi, from January 30 to February 2, 2025. It marks the first of 10 events on a meticulously curated 2025 schedule, which offers the season rankings champion a pathway into the LIV Golf League.
