Hero on board for Indian Open

Motorcycle manufacturer Hero has renewed a title-sponsorship agreement for the Indian Open golf tournament.

Hero has supported the tournament since 2005, but the length of the extension has not been disclosed.

The tournament will return to the DLF Golf and Country Club in Gurgaon in the Delhi National Capital Region for the second consecutive year, from March 8-11.

For the first time this year, the Indian Golf Union is joining the European Tour and Asian Tour as a sanctioning partner of the tournament.
