Bhullar, 37, is widely regarded as a legend of Indian golf. His 11 Asian Tour titles place him third on the Tour’s all-time wins list..

Stalwart Jeev Milkha Singh, one of India’s all-time greats with six Asian Tour victories, four Japan Tour titles, and four DP World Tour wins, will also tee it up in Singapore. He notably won the Singapore Open in 2008 at the same course.

In December, Jeev ended a long title drought by claiming the IGPL Invitational Colombo.

The Indian challenge will also include six-time Asian Tour winner, SSP Chawrasia, also a two-time Indian Open champion. Chawrasia’s six wins include four on the DP World Tour.

Shiv Kapur, a former Asian Tour Rookie of the Year in 2005, is still going strong and has four wins in Asia and, like Jeev and Bhullar, he has also played the Majors. PTI AM AM KHS
