LIV Golf star and defending US Open champion Bryson DeChambeau will tee it up at International Series India presented by DLF from 30 January to 02 February .

The Crushers GC captain will be joined by his team-mate Anirban Lahiri from India for the first of 10 elevated events on the 2025 Asian Tour calendar, with more marquee names to be unveiled for the US$2 million tournament taking place at DLF Golf & Country Club in Gurugram.

The 31-year-old won the US Open at Pinehurst in June, adding to the same title he won at Winged Foot in 2020.  His appearance will mark the first time a defending major champion has competed in an official tour event on the Indian subcontinent.

With two wins on the LIV Golf League and seven PGA Tour titles, as well as his two Majors, DeChambeau is one of the most dynamic figures in modern-day sport, well known all over the world thanks to his unorthodox approach to the game.

From gaining weight for increased driving distance, to designing his own clubs, he is famed for the analytical approach and unique vision that has brought marginal gains and reaped rewards over the years.

With an online following of 1.6 million on YouTube and 2.1 million on Instagram, the American is also blazing a trail in content creation, introducing a new and important online audience to the sport.

India will mark the third time he has played on the Asian Tour, as he competed in two PIF Saudi International, in 2022 and 2023.

International Series India presented by DLF is the first tournament on the LIV Golf-backed series to be played on the subcontinent. It is the first of 10 events that will be held in a broad range of markets including Macau, Morocco, Hong Kong, Indonesia and Saudi Arabia, with other destinations soon to be announced.

The series offers players from all over the world a pathway onto the LIV Golf League, with the end-of-season rankings champion guaranteed a place on the roster for the following season. The International Series Rankings also offers players a second chance to claim a place on the LIV Golf League, through the innovative LIV Golf Promotions event.
