Adani Group Enters Professional Golf With Adani Invitational Golf Championship 2025

The Adani Group is making its debut in Indian professional golf with the launch of the Adani Invitational Golf Championship 2025, in collaboration with the Professional Golf Tour of India (PGTI), the country’s official governing body for men’s professional golf.

The inaugural tournament, featuring a prize pool of Rs 1.5 crore, will likely take place at Jaypee Greens Golf & Spa Resort in Greater Noida from 1-4 April.

This marks PGTI’s return to the venue after more than a decade.

With this initiative, Adani Group aims to make golf more accessible, elevate its presence as a mainstream sport, and nurture India’s next generation of golfing talent.

Additionally, the partnership includes the establishment of an Adani-PGTI golf training academy at Belvedere Golf & Country Club in Ahmedabad, supporting grassroots development and aligning with India’s 2036 Olympic aspirations.

Pranav Adani, Director of Adani Enterprises Limited, expressed enthusiasm about the initiative.

“We are delighted to join hands with Kapil Dev Ji and the Professional Golf Tour of India (PGTI) to contribute to the growth of Indian professional golf. Our goal is to cultivate Indian global champions in golf. We enhance golf accessibility, promoting greater participation and offering world-class training and playing opportunities,” he stated.

I expect to see golf fans in big numbers following their favourite players on the course during the tournament,” he asserted.

Amandeep Johl, CEO of PGTI, described the Adani Invitational Golf Championship 2025 as a major milestone for Indian golf.

He noted, “This association will raise the stature of the Tour. We thank the Adani Group, our title sponsors, for sharing PGTI’s vision of creating more playing opportunities for Indian professionals. With an attractive prize purse, outstanding playing conditions at the Jaypee Greens Golf & Spa Resort and a top-notch field vying for the title, one can expect a spectacular week of golfing action at the eagerly awaited Adani Invitational Golf Championship 2025.”
