Kapil Dev, President, PGTI, said, “This tournament started as a small, local event, and today it has grown into one that every professional golfer looks forward to playing in each year. In a country where golf is still quite young, IndianOil has nurtured the game with consistency and passion for a quarter of a century. On behalf of PGTI, we take great pride in this journey. IndianOil hasn’t sponsored a tournament—they’ve nurtured a tradition, shaping the very heartbeat of Indian golf.”
