New Delhi, Jan 30 (IANS) The capital’s golf circuit is agog with the news of Tiger Woods coming to Delhi next week. The sport’s most renowned figure is expected to play the full 18 holes at the Delhi Golf Club (DGC) course and also sign a commercial deal with the Club.

Woods is in Dubai playing in Desert Classic along with two-time majors winner Rory McIllroy and from there he is expected to make a brief visit to the Indian capital.

DGC president I.V.S. Juneja told a national daily Wednesday that Woods’ visit is on but is yet to get a final confirmation. According to the daily, the American will play the entire 18 holes of the course which will not be open to other regulars that morning.

Officials at the DGC as well as Hero Motocorp were either difficult to reach or tight-lipped on the subject.
