Seven Indian golfers figure in the top 100 of the prestigious Asian Tour. And if one wondered why Shiv Kapur and SSP Chawrasia have joined the trio of Rashid Khan, S Chikkarangappa and Khalin Joshi in the PGTI MP Cup organised by the Delhi Golf Club on Tuesday, it soon came to know that Asian Tour will resume in November.<\/p>\n

Asian Tour winner Rashid is placed 10th in the order of merit followed by Shiv (35th), SSP, Chikka (43rd) and Khalin (92nd) in Delhi<\/a>. From the top-100, only Rahil Gangjee (44th) and Aman Raj (75th) are the Indians who are missing from the Delhi line-up.<\/p>\n

\n

Shiv and SSP who have not played in any of the three PGTI events which resumed in September, have got much-awaited news from the Asian Tour that it will stage a series (including two one million dollar events and another a record $5 million event) of season-ending tournaments to finish its 2020 schedule.<\/p>\n

Rashid, who is currently placed 10th after three events, has confirmed he will compete in the Phuket events. The Delhi golfer, 30, is a two-time winner on the Asian Tour winner in 2014 when he finished 11th on the merit list.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m so excited to hear that. I love playing more tournaments. I\u2019m more than glad to know that the Asian Tour is back from November. I\u2019ll go out and try my best,\u201d said Rashid, a two-time winner on the Asian Tour and one of his wins also came in Thailand.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to add as many titles as I can. I need to go out and do well. I\u2019ll be playing in both events in Phuket. In Saudi, the top 30 from the order of merit will get the entry. I will try to maintain my placing in the list which is currently at 10. I\u2019m excited as I love playing more tournaments,\u201d Rashid, who has been playing in PGTI events, told indianexpress.com<\/a> on Tuesday after the first round of MP Cup where he was tied with three others for lead.<\/p>\n
