Low visibility due to the toxic smog enveloping Delhi and its surrounding areas on Thursday delayed the start of the USD 400,000 Panasonic Open India golf tournament here.
With a thick layer of noxious smog blanketing Delhi-NCR, organisers were forced to push the start of the Asian Tour event at the Classic Golf and Country Club here from 6:40am to 11:00am, while rescheduling the afternoon start.
The groups which were scheduled to tee off in the afternoon session will now begin their campaign on Friday.
"Due to poor visibility and weather conditions, the Tournament Committee has made the following decision: Round 1 Tee Times will now be based on a 4 tee shotgun start with a start time of 11:00 am (Thursday)," Panasonic Open India said in a statement.
"Players originally in the Round 1 Afternoon session will now tee off on Friday 11:00 am based on a 4 tee shotgun start."
