Tiger's visit will have a huge impact in India: Shiv Kapur

Shiv Kapur, who could be one of the lucky few to get a chance to play with Tiger Woods on his private visit to India, feels the World's No. 1 golfer's coming to the country would make a huge impact.
Tiger is scheduled to visit the Delhi Golf Club (DGC) on February 4 and play with Pawan Munjal, the CEO and Managing Director of Hero MotoCorp.
"Without doubt, Tiger's visit to India is going to make a huge impact and there is a big buzz already not only in Delhi but the whole country," Kapur, who is a product of DGC, said after shooting a third round 70 in Dubai.

Kapur is currently playing in the Dubai Desert Classic, where he is four-under 212 and placed tied 47th with rounds of 72-70-70.
"I know the members at my club (DGC) are very excited and there is going to be people climbing all over the walls just to get a glimpse of Tiger. While the format of the round or play is not clear, it seems a few corporate and personal guests of Munjal will get a few holes each with Tiger and a couple of professionals will possibly figure with Tiger in a 'mini match' over 3-4 holes," said Kapur.

It is not clear when Arjun Atwal, a close friend of Woods will be flying in for the event. Atwal has won an Asian Tour event sponsored by the Hero Group in the past.

In the event of his coming, Tiger, Atwal and another pro, possibly Kapur could feature in a 'mini-match'.
No one is divulging any details of the event, which will be out of bounds for both public and media.
"But the interest he will generate even in his short visit...It not just from a golf perspective but basically he is one of the biggest celebrities in the world and with him coming to India for a first time is going to generate a huge amount of interest in golf," said Kapur.
