India Have A Great Chance To Win Medals In Golf At 2036 Olympics, Says PGTI CEO Amandeep Johl
PGTI CEO Amandeep Johl: After Aditi Ashok’s fourth-place finish in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, many fans were hoping for a similar performance from the Arjuna Awardee at the 2024 Paris Games but her campaign ended in disappointment. The newly-appointed CEO of Professional Golf Tour of India (PGTI) Amandeep Johl, who will begin his tenure on January 1, has hailed India’s bid for potentially hosting the 2036 Olympics and believes with the right backing, India has a great chance of producing medals.
“Golf has a huge potential in India because we are playing for the individual medal as well as the team medal in men's and women's. India is qualified for the Olympics but yes infrastructure needs to develop.
"I think if we can broad-base the game for the next 10, 12 years, talent, there is so much talent in this country. Whether it's the girls or the boys, there is no dearth. So hundreds and thousands of juniors are picking up the game. And from all walks of life, you know, from a cross-section of society are playing golf, taking up the game because they feel that this is an individual sport and, you know, there's no team selection in this.
