JAMMU, Oct 13: At a press conference held in New Delhi on 10th October 2024, cricket legend and President of the Professional Golf Tour of India (PGTI), Kapil Dev, expressed his admiration for Jammu & Kashmir Tourism's efforts in promoting golf. Speaking ahead of the PGTI tournament at the Jammu Tawi Golf Course (JTGC), which will be held from 22nd to 27th October 2024, Kapil Dev praised the region for its commitment to expanding the reach of golf. He said, "I thank J&K to have taken this step forward and this is a door opener for everybody else. I promise that I'll come to Jammu as I'd like to see the game myself." His appreciation comes as 126 national and international players prepare to compete in the prestigious tournament, further establishing Jammu as an emerging golf destination.
Under the leadership of Ms. Yasha Mudgal, Secretary of J&K Tourism, golf tourism in the region has seen a definite boost. Her efforts have played a crucial role in promoting the sport and positioning Jammu as a growing destination for golf. This year marks the third consecutive time that JTGC will host the PGTI event, underscoring the course's growing prominence. Set against Jammu's scenic backdrop, the 18-hole course presents unique challenges for professional golfers, and the presence of Kapil Dev will bring additional visibility and attention to the event.
At the same time, the Jammu Tawi Golf Course, under the leadership of its Secretary, Mr. Manav Gupta, continues to deliver a high-quality golfing experience. This dedication has contributed to its rise as a premier venue for national and international tournaments.
Kapil Dev's support for golf initiatives in Jammu and Kashmir reflects the region's increasing influence on the Indian golf scene. With J&K Tourism actively developing infrastructure and hosting top-tier events, the region is steadily positioning itself on the global golfing map. Kapil Dev's recognition of these efforts not only highlights the achievements so far but also sets the stage for further growth in the sport. As Jammu prepares to host this prestigious tournament, the combined efforts of J&K Tourism, local golf authorities, and sports icons like Kapil Dev are contributing to the realization of the region's potential as a key golfing destination. |
