Future augurs well for Indian golfers: Jeev

Chandigarh, September 12

Jeev Milkha Singh on Wednesday welcomed the PGTI’s inclusion in the Official World Golf Ranking (OWGR) system from next year onwards, saying it is “excellent news” for the Indian golf. 

“World ranking points will give PGTI professionals opportunities to play abroad. So they should now set their sights on higher tours. They need to keep pushing themselves and get out of their comfort zones if they want to become world-class players.  The key should be to start by setting small goals which are achievable and then keep moving ahead,” he said.

The veteran golfer, however, advised the young players not to get complacent. “Our players now have to take advantage of this new development and not get complacent.”

Jeev, who is enjoying the experience of playing on the PGTI after almost a year, said: “It’s great to be back on the PGTI and competing with all the Indian youngsters. The tour has grown by leaps and bounds over the years and there is a lot of depth in talent.” — TNS
