Aadil Bedi, who was recently honoured by the Chandigarh Golf Association (CGA) for winning accolades at international and national circuits, will be attending a week-long training camp in London ahead of the Professional Golf Tour of India (PGTI) events.

“I will be attending a week-long session in London before restarting the PGTI season,” said Bedi during the CGA felicitation ceremony.

He will be featuring in 10 PGTI events, starting with the Tata Steel PGTI Players Championship in Kolkata from February 13.
