While Past Champion Christine Wolf Looks To Recreate History, but She Doesn’t Just Care About Winning at the Gary Player Design

This week, the Ladies European Tour (LET) is hosting its flagship event in Asia, the Hero Women’s Indian Open. This will be the tournament’s 15th edition, and the field is decorated with star-studded players.

The event is being played at the DLF Golf and Country Club, Gurugram, from 19 – 22 October. It will be a mix of Indian players and foreign players who will be fighting for the $400,000 prize purse. And for Christine Wolf, this is an emotional comeback.

Christine Wolf is loving the Indian hospitality

The Hero Women’s Indian Open is the only LET tournament that is hosted in India. This match not only brings international talent to the country’s platform but also gives the Indian players a chance to get exposure to the European Tour, which they otherwise don’t get. Aside from last year’s defending champion Olivia Cowan, also returning is 2019 winner Christine Wolf.

Wolf won the tournament at the same course in 2019 by sharing a final round score of 3 under 69 and three shots. It was her first win here, and reflecting on the memories, the 34-year-old said, “It’s so nice being back here. It almost feels like coming home. I feel really comfortable here and I had a really warm welcome when I arrived. It’s just so nice being back.”

Before engaging in an intense competition, Wolf also had some time to relax and engage with the fans. She said, “I love the food here and the people. They’re so happy and welcoming. It always feels like they enjoy having us back here. And of course, the food is amazing.”

The players are staying at the Grand Hyatt Hotel, Gurgaon, where they are treated with top facilities. A total of 120 players are participating in the 36-hole cut that will start on Thursday. After two rounds, the final round will be played on Sunday.
