NASSAU, Bahamas — Say this about Anirban Lahiri, there’s nothing silly to him about this week’s Hero World Challenge. It might be an end-of-the-year party for some, a chance for some last-minute world-ranking points for others, but the world’s best player from India is taking it quite seriously.
Consider that one of his main sponsors, Hero — the motorcycle company from India — is the title sponsor of this $3.5 million tournament and offered him an exemption, and take into account that a strong contingent of media folks from his homeland are here, too, and you can sense the pressure he feels.
