The Indian edition
of the world’s largest golf tournament series – the Audi quattro Cup is set to
tee off its 11th season at the Jack Nicklaus designed Classic
Golf & Country Club with Audi Gurugram & Audi Delhi Central primed to
host the opening leg of the 2018 season. The Audi quattro Cup will see
more than 800 golfers competing towards a slot for the India finals and the
coveted trophy.
The Audi quattro Cup
has clearly emerged as the cream of corporate golf events and will be
celebrated nation-wide with golfers from major state capitals and smaller
towns, who will be a part of the series starting today.
“Customer engagement is our key focus area and the Audi quattro Cup
provides a perfect platform to stay connected with the Audi fans and customers
in India. Audi has been committed to the sport of golf, which stands for
precision and technique and truly embodies Audi's philosophy of ‘Vorsprung
durch Technik’ for more than two and a half decades. The Audi quattro Cup over the last ten years in
India has become a great platform for young minded, successful entrepreneurs
and professionals to not only enjoy competitive golf but to also network with
each other. This year we move into the second decade of celebrating the growing
fascination for the amateur golf sporting events in India,” said Mr. Rahil
Ansari, Head Audi India.
The Indian edition will be played on a Team Stableford format where the
teams will be drawn randomly after the round. The individual handicaps will be
derived by the Single Peoria system and the top team with the best cumulative
score from each leg will qualify for the India finals later this year in July.
The winning team from the India final will then qualify to participate in the
world finals of the Audi quattro Cup in September.
The first leg of the Audi quattro Cup will be held in Gurugram followed
by Bhubaneshwar, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Jaipur, Mumbai, Visakhapatnam, and
Bengaluru.
Globally, the Audi quattro Cup started way back in 1992 and will
celebrate its 28th anniversary this year. Another notable
highlight of the Audi quattro Cup is that it is always held at one of the
famous courses in the world, for example- the Belfry in England, Fancourt in
South Africa, K Club in Ireland, Mission Hills in China, the Earth Course at
Jumeirah Golf Estates in Dubai, Ocean Course at Cabo del Sol in Mexico and the
Real Club de Golf El Prat in Barcelona. This year too, in keeping with that
format, the International final will be held in Kitzbühel, Austria.
The worldwide tournament series has become one of the most celebrated
amateur golf tournaments in the world bringing together over 100,000 golfers
from 48 countries in 730 tournaments.
