Next year's Indian Masters has been postponed because of the global financial downturn and security concerns, organisers have confirmed.
The European Tour event was due to be staged at Delhi Golf Club from February 5.
Mohamed Juma Buamaim, vice chairman and CEO of 'golf in Dubai' - the promoters and organisers of the $2.5 million event told Reuters: "The current economic uncertainty coupled with security concerns made it impossible for us to present the tournament in the manner that we would wish to for world class golfers”.
The tournament is co-sanctioned between the European Tour, the Asian Tour and the Professional Golf Tour of India. Organisers said they hoped the tournament would return in 2010.
