A new opportunity has paved the way for Indian male golfers as The Professional Golf Tour of India (PGTI) has done a brand new partnership with the DP World Tour and PGA Tour which may provide the golfers a broad pathway to compete in top-tier Competitions.

“Today’s announcement further enhances the playing opportunities for international players to compete at the highest levels of men’s professional golf, with the leading 10 players on DP World Tour’s Race To Dubai Rankings [in addition to those already exempt] earning cards on the PGA Tour, beginning with the 2024 season – an aspect of the partnership between the PGA Tour and DP World Tour announced in June,” the statement added.
