BENGALURU: The TAKE Solutions Masters golf tournament will not be held this year, The Hindu reports.
Last year, the $350,000 event — co-sanctioned by the Asian Tour and the Professional Golf Tour of India (PGTI) — was held at the KGA course here.
HR Srinivasan, vice chairman & managing director, TAKE Solutions Limited, was quoted by the daily as explaining: “This being an Asian Tour event, we had to find a date suitable for both the Asian Tour and us. We were unable to synchronise dates from a corporate and event standpoint.”
Asian Tour associate director, communications, Calvin Koh, stated: “We are currently discussing possible new dates for the event, as we have accommodated the sponsor’s request for it to be moved to early 2020.”
The tournament was a hit with golf fans in the city, with over 25 past Asian Tour winners stacking the strong field last year. Twenty-year-old Viraj Madappa won the tournament by two strokes, becoming the youngest Indian to win on the Asian Tour.
