DSport to telecast 'Hero Challenge' for viewers in India

The 2018 edition of Hero Challenge, the fast and fun night golf contest, will for the first-time be telecast live in India. Golf fans across the country will be able to catch the live telecast of the exciting contest on DSport, ahead of the Scottish Open.

The Hero Challenge will take place from 12:00 am to 1:00 am on Wednesday July 11 and will be broadcast live across India on DSport, apart from European Tour's platforms.

A strong line-up of marquee golfers such as Rafa Cabrera Bello, Andrew Johnston and India's rising star Shubhankar Sharma will vie for the top honors, among others, at the Hero Challenge at this year's Scottish Open.

Since the inaugural Hero Challenge was hosted at the British Masters in 2016, the contest has become very popular with players and spectators alike.

After the successful debut for the night-golf event, Hero MotoCorp - the world's largest manufacturer of motorcycles and scooters - reaffirmed its commitment to innovation on the European Tour by extending the Hero Challenge by another three years and to three marquee events - the British Masters, Aberdeen Standard Investments Scottish Open and DP World Tour Championship, Dubai.

However, this will be first time that fans and enthusiast in India will be able to watch live footage of the contest.

DSPORT is available on all DTH platforms (Tata Sky Channel #495, Airtel DTH Channel #304, Dish TV Channel #630).

The Hero Challenge is hosted at some spectacular golf courses on the European Tour, and has been evolving to become bigger and better with each edition.
