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 event will be contested from Oct. 16-19 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," McIlroy said in a news release.

"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."

McIlroy, 36, completed the career Grand Slam with his Masters victory last month. He is No. 2 in the Official World Golf Ranking.
