'Golf Can Drive Tourism, Investment And Family Participation In India': PGTI CEO Amandeep Johl
Raising An Athlete Sports Talk: Golf has the potential to emerge as a major driver of tourism, investment, and economic activity in India while also serving as a sport that brings families together, Professional Golf Tour of India (PGTI) CEO Amandeep Singh Johl said during the Raising An Athlete Sports Talk Series hosted by Equalsportz.
Speaking at a session titled "Understanding Emerging Sports in India", Johl urged parents to view golf as more than just a competitive sport and encouraged greater participation among children without the pressure of immediate success. “Golf has been part of me since the age of seven. Some call it a game, some a sport, some a social space, some a stage to network, and some a catalyst for growth. To me, it is all of the above,” Johl said.
Highlighting the values associated with the sport, he described integrity as golf's greatest lesson. “Golf is one of the games closest to life. You get good breaks and bad breaks, but you still have to play the ball as it lies,” he added.
