Tamburlini Leads Strong Field for Women's Indian Open 2024

The Women's Indian Open 2024, scheduled for October 24-27 at the DLF Golf and Country Club in Gurugram, promises an exciting showdown between the world's top female golfers and a formidable Indian contingent.

Leading the charge is Chiara Tamburlini, the current Ladies European Tour (LET) Order of Merit leader. The Swiss golfer has made a remarkable impact in her rookie year, claiming two victories and guiding her team to victory at the Aramco Team Series Shenzhen.

Tamburlini will face stiff competition from a field that includes nine players who finished in the Top 10 of the 2023 edition. Among them are former champions Christine Wolf (2019), Camille Chevalier (2017), and Caroline Hedwall (2011).

The international field will also feature Trichat Cheenglab of Thailand, the 2023 LET Order of Merit winner, and Lee Anne Pace of South Africa, the 2010 LET top spot holder.

India's hopes will rest on Diksha Dagar, who secured third place last year, and Gaurika Bishnoi, who finished eighth. Amateur Avani Prashanth, who tied for fifth place in 2023, will make her professional debut at the event.

Other notable players in the field include Alice Hewson (VP Bank Swiss Ladies Open winner), Amy Taylor (Ladies Italian Open victor), Perrine Delacour (Dormy Open Helsingborg champion), Manon De Roey (Investec SA Women's Open champion), and Shannon Tan (Magical Kenya Ladies Open champion).

Caroline Hedwall, a seven-time LET winner, is one of the most prominent returnees. The Swedish golfer won the event in her rookie year in 2011 and has since finished runner-up three times.

The Women's Indian Open, established in 2007, has become a prestigious event on the LET calendar. The 2024 edition promises to be another thrilling chapter in the tournament's history, with a strong field and a passionate Indian crowd cheering on their homegrown stars.
