Preview of the Legends Tour’s season-ending MCB Tour Championship

Europe’s senior circuit was badly hit by Covid in 2020 and even 2021 was a struggle. This week’s tournament should have taken place in December but has been delayed and, as such, is highly anticipated by the feld.

The Legends Course at Constance Belle Mare Plage provides a good test, with wide fairways (lots of trouble if they are missed however), small greens and a stunning backdrop of green Indian Ocean vegetation and bright blue water hazards on most of the holes.

The Great Dane, winner of 15 DPWorld Tour titles and captain of Europe’s victorious 2018 Ryder Cup team, said: “It doesn’t get any better than ending your season in a place like Mauritius and I am so excited to get out to the Indian Ocean in December. “I’ve really enjoyed the events I’ve played on the Legends Tour this year. It’s given me the chance to compete for silverware as well as being able to catch up with old friends who I haven’t seen much in recent years. “I know there is a lot of work going on behind the scenes to make the tenth anniversary of this event extra special and I’m ready to get my frst taste of a tournament which is held in such high regard.”

Singh is excited to renew his own competitive instincts as he heads towards the 10th anniversary of his fourth and fnal win on the main circuit.

“I am so looking forward to playing against guys my own age,” he said.

“The last few years have been tumultuous for me and my family. Ever since I won the Scottish Open in 2012, I have struggled with a series of injuries. And the past couple of years, as a nation we have faced a lot of hardship because of the pandemic. I personally lost both my mum and dad within a space of fve days last year, which was very tough to handle.

“However, I am sure my parents would want me to continue with my life. Golf is the only thing I have known for nearly 35 years, and I think nothing will give them greater pleasure than me doing well on the golf course once again.”

The action begins on Friday, April 1st.
