The Adani Group is set to make its debut in Indian professional golf with the launch of the ‘Adani Invitational Golf Championship 2025’, in collaboration with cricketing legend Kapil Dev-led Professional Golf Tour of India—the official sanctioning body for men’s professional golf in the country.
The inaugural edition, featuring a prize purse of Rs 1.5 crore, will be held at Jaypee Greens Golf & Spa Resort, Greater Noida, from April 1 to 4, 2025. This marks PGTI’s return to the venue after a gap of 11 years.
This initiative intends to promote and broaden golf’s accessibility and elevate its status as a mainstream sport, and also to cultivate the next generation of global champions from India.
“We are delighted to join hands with Kapil Dev Ji and the Professional Golf Tour of India to contribute to the growth of Indian professional golf,” said Pranav Adani, Director, Adani Enterprises Ltd. “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.”
Kapil Dev, president of PGTI, thanked the Adani Group for extending support to professional golf in India with the launch of the Adani Invitational Golf Championship 2025. “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.
