Wow, that is pretty good money for a domestic only golf tournament. Sometimes wonder why we can't get more money for tennis tournaments in India as tennis is at least as popular as golf in India although perhaps some of the corporate bigwigs may lean towards golf as their favorite sport.

I often wonder the same thing too. This was like a $200K tournament. 3 or 4 challengers would get so much more of press coverage and all that. But somehow tennis has just not managed to find the right sponsors for smaller tournaments in India.
