Port Louis, April 30

India will have a strong four-player presence at the inaugural MCB Ladies Classic Mauritius, with Diksha Dagar leading the charge alongside Tvesa Malik, Vani Kapoor, and Hitaashee Bakshi at the scenic Legends Course.

Vani Kapoor arrives with recent experience of playing in Mauritius, having featured in the IGPL Invitation at the Anahita Course. Meanwhile, fellow LET regulars Pranavi Urs and Avani Prashanth have opted to skip the event to take a short break.

Diksha, who has set her sights on clinching the Hero Women's Indian Open this season, will begin her campaign early at 7:20 am in the company of Alessandra Fanali and Alexandra Försterling. Hitaashee Bakshi is paired with Lianna Bailey and Gabriella Cowley for the opening two rounds.

Tvesa Malik, aiming to make a strong push to regain her tour card, is grouped with Lilly May Humphreys and Bobbi Brown. Vani Kapoor will tee off alongside Corrine Viden and Chloe Williams in her opening round.

All eyes will also be on England's Esme Hamilton, fresh off her maiden LET victory at the Investec SA Women's Open. Carrying strong momentum, Hamilton has travelled directly to Mauritius and will look to build on her success. She has climbed to fourth in the LET Order of Merit and is eager to maintain her impressive form.

The tournament features a competitive field of 120 players contesting a 54-hole stroke play event at the Constance Belle Mare Plage's Legends Course, known for its narrow fairways and challenging greens.

Hamilton will begin her title bid at 7:40 am local time, playing alongside Agathe Laisné of France and Sweden's Kajsa Arwefjall.

Good to see Indian women's golf getting this kind of representation abroad. But I wonder why Pranavi and Avani chose to skip—is it fatigue or strategy? Either way, all the best to our four players! May the course conditions suit our style. 🏌️‍♀️

Honestly, while it's great to have four players, I wish our golfers would focus more on winning LET events to elevate their rankings. Playing safe is not going to break the glass ceiling. Tvesa's fight to regain her card is the real story here—she needs to step up her game big time. Hope she delivers! 🤞

That Legends Course sounds challenging—narrow fairways and tricky greens means our players' short game will be tested. Good prep for Diksha ahead of the Women's Indian Open at home. And Esme Hamilton is on fire! Could be a good test for the Indian ladies to see where they stand against top form. Let's go girls! 🌟

Loving the diversity of Indian women in sports these days. From cricket to golf, our ladies are making waves. Vani's previous Mauritius experience could be a secret weapon. Wishing them all the best for a podium finish! 🇮🇳🏆

Good luck to the Indian quartet! But let's be real—we need more grassroots support for golf in India. It's still seen as an elite sport. These women are fighting against odds to represent us. Hope sponsors and media give them more attention. 💯
