The Adani Group is set to make its foray into Indian professional golf with the launch of the ‘Adani Invitational Golf Championship 2025’, in collaboration with the Professional Golf Tour of India (PGTI). The championship aims to enhance golf’s accessibility, elevate its stature as a mainstream sport, and nurture future global champions from India.
The inaugural event will take place at the Jaypee Greens Golf & Spa Resort in Greater Noida from April 1-4, 2025, with a prize pool of Rs 1.5 crore. This marks the PGTI’s return to the venue after an 11-year gap.
Pranav Adani, Director of Adani Enterprises Limited, expressed the group’s enthusiasm about the partnership, noting their commitment to expanding golf’s reach and creating world-class training and playing opportunities.
“We are delighted to join hands with Kapil Dev and the Professional Golf Tour of India (PGTI) to contribute to the growth of Indian professional golf. Our goal is to cultivate Indian global champions in golf. We are committed to enhancing accessibility to golf, promoting greater participation and offering world-class training and playing opportunities,” he said.
Kapil Dev extended his gratitude to the Adani Group for supporting professional golf in India. “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,” he said.
PGTI CEO Amandeep Johl described the Adani Invitational Golf Championship 2025 as a milestone for the tour. “This association will raise the stature of the Tour. We thank the Adani Group, our title sponsors, for sharing PGTI’s vision of creating more playing opportunities for Indian professionals. With an attractive prize purse, outstanding playing conditions at the Jaypee Greens Golf & Spa Resort and a top-notch field vying for the title, one can expect a spectacular week of golfing action at the eagerly awaited Adani Invitational Golf Championship 2025,” he said.
Ahead of the championship, a pre-tournament event is scheduled for March 29, 2025 at The Belvedere Golf & Country Club in Ahmedabad. Five prominent PGTI professionals will conduct a golf clinic introducing the sport to 50 children from The Adani International School.
Kapil Dev will attend the event to highlight the shared vision of the Adani Group and PGTI in fostering golf talent and advancing the sport in India.
The partnership also includes the establishment of a joint Adani-PGTI golf training academy at the Belvedere Golf & Country Club in Ahmedabad.
This initiative aligns with Adani’s commitment to grassroots sports development and supports India’s bid for the 2036 Olympics, underscoring the group’s dedication to promoting golf on a larger scale.
