The Indian Open has long been a prestigious event in the golfing calendar, showcasing talent from around the world. However, it's been since 2017 that an Indian golfer, SSP Chawrasia, clinched the title on home turf. As we approach the upcoming tournament, the question arises: Can we witness an Indian golfer lifting the trophy this year?

Current Indian Contenders:

• Shubhankar Sharma: A prominent name in Indian golf, Sharma has made significant strides on international tours and carries the hopes of many fans.
• 
  
• Veer Ahlawat: Emerging as a strong competitor, Ahlawat's recent performances have been promising, making him a player to watch.
• 
  
• Kartik Singh: This young amateur has been turning heads with his skill and composure, indicating a bright future ahead.

3. Mental Fortitude: Does the pressure of performing on home soil affect our golfers differently compared to international venues?
4. Role of Experience: How crucial is international exposure in preparing our golfers for success in tournaments like the Indian Open?
