Bryson DeChambeau will be the man of the moment at the International Series India, where play is now underway.
US Open champion DeChambeau is playing for a $2million prize purse, in what is a first trip to India for the American star.
LIV Golf icon DeChambeau is taking on his first competition of 2025, and is the first reigning major champion to play in the country.
The American will use the event as preparation for the 2025 LIV Golf season, which starts in Riyadh on February 6.
DLF Golf and Country Club plays host to the International Series India, where huge crowds are expected to gather.
Bryson DeChambeau labels DLF Golf and Country Club ‘diabolical’
Greg Norman’s son loves the International Series India course, with the 18-hole Gary Player course one of the country’s finest.
And as quoted by the LIV Golf website, DeChambeau has now shared his verdict, joking: “It’s a diabolical course.
“There’s a lot going on and I think the person that’s going to do well this week has to see it for what it is, which is a strategic golf course.
“You have to plot your way around, be very methodical, and you can’t overpower it. It’s not something you can overpower, but you’ve got to be very technical about here.
“So, 16 through 18 is a great stretch of golf. It is gettable. If you hit the right shots into it. I feel pretty comfortable with it. Off all the rust, I think I’ll give it a good go this week.”

DeChambeau, who is paired with Joaquin Niemann and John Catlin for days one and two, also shared his inspirations ahead of the tournament.
“The ability for golf as really a young sport but changing from an older sport into a young sport, is to showcase what golf can mean for the future generations of India,” he said.
“That’s always inspired me. My mission in the game of golf is to first off, inspire, entertain, and a subtle part of it is educate as well.
“Educate, entertain, inspire are my main three principles of why I play the game of golf. I think this is an amazing opportunity for all of golf to come together and see what India can truly produce for the world.
“And it’s a growing economy, it’s a growing population that need golf. There’s a lot more to come, so that’s why I’m here.”
