Golf: Veer Ahlawat Hopes To Make His Mark In USD 8mn Dubai Desert Classic
DP World Tour Card: A year after gaining attention by finishing runner-up in the Indian Open, Veer Ahlawat now steps up at the USD 8 million Dubai Desert Classic. Ahlawat, who turns 29 in two months, may not have won in India last year, but his second-place finish did help him win the Order of Merit of India, which earned him a DP World Tour Card.
Ahlawat is one of the two Indians in the field in the Dubai Desert Classic this year. The other one being Shubhankar Sharma, who is making his eighth appearance in this event, often labelled as the Major of the Middle East.
“That second-place finish in India played a big role in my winning the Order of Merit and then I got a spot in the elite Dubai Desert Classic courtesy of the sponsors. It certainly gives me a massive boost to be able to get into this event, which has some of the biggest stars from the world of golf – major winners like Rory McIlroy, Jon Rahm, and so many stars,” said Ahlawat ahead of the event, which takes place at the Emirates Golf Club this week.
