Rory McIlroy committed to play in the inaugural DP World India Championship, marking the first time that he will compete professionally in the country.
The $4 million (€3.5m) event will be contested from 16-19 October at Delhi Golf Club. It will be held three weeks after the Ryder Cup.
"I'm excited to not only tee it up in India for the first time but also visit a country that I've always wanted to explore," world number two McIlroy said.
"I've always enjoyed playing a global schedule and as I have previously said, there is tremendous potential to grow golf further in the country. This is a great opportunity, and I can't wait to play in front of Indian golf fans."
The 36-year-old completed the career Grand Slam with his Masters victory last month.
