PGTI, Adani Group partner up to launch Invitational Golf Championship
The Professional Golf Tour of India (PGTI) has entered a partnership with the Adani Group to launch the ‘Adani Invitational Golf Championship 2025’, aiming to promote and broaden golf’s accessibility and elevate its status as a mainstream sport.
The inaugural tournament, offering a Rs. 1.5 crore prize, will be held at Jaypee Greens Golf & Spa Resort, Greater Noida, from April 1-4, 2025. This will mark PGTI’s return to the venue after 11 years.
A pre-tournament event will be held on 29 March 2025 at The Belvedere Golf & Country Club, Ahmedabad. Along with this event, five leading PGTI professionals will conduct a golf clinic that will introduce the sport to 50 children from The Adani International School.
The partnership extends to the establishment of a joint Adani-PGTI golf training academy at Belvedere Golf & Country Club in Ahmedabad.
“The backing of the Adani Group, one of the world’s biggest business houses, will help the PGTI produce more champion golfers from India who will make the country proud on the international stage. I expect to see golf fans in big numbers following their favourite players on the course during the tournament,” Kapil Dev, President of the PGTI, said on this initiative.
“We are delighted to join hands with Kapil Dev Ji and the Professional Golf Tour of India (PGTI) to contribute to the growth of Indian professional golf,” said Mr Pranav Adani, Director, Adani Enterprises Limited.
