India had the opportunity to host the Asian Tour’s International Series.
Ollie Schniederjans won this competition, which attracted the attention of the media in Asia and around the world.
When LIV Golf arrived on the golf scene, LIV officials were clear: We want to be a global product!
Coming to India is the best confirmation of that.
Greg Norman, former CEO of LIV, also has great merit in this story. Speaking to the media, the Australian former golfer reflected on the last LIV tournament, believing that India has a huge potential to become a golfing nation.
“I do believe India is a sleeping giant in golf. If you just look at the infancy of golf in India, it’s really just the beginning. When you look at the opportunities for the next 25 years — essentially a generation — this country is right in the middle of it. If you go back a decade or 15 years and look at the impact of Indian women golfers on the LPGA, their success has resonated across the country,” said Norman, as quoted by Hindustan Times.
Greg Norman shares his views about LIV
An experienced golf figure believes that golf in Asia has not developed much, but in recent years it has experienced a great expansion, especially with the popularization of the Asian Tour. Fans of this sport show an increasing interest in the Asian Tour.
European and American golf leads the world, but Asia is also a country that is increasingly focusing its attention on golf, considering that this sport is very exciting and interesting for its audience.
Greg Norman is delighted with this sport coming to India, feeling this could be an important step for the popular Tour. However, the leaders of this league will not stop there. Their desire is to visit every corner of the planet and present their project in the best light.
“I love LIV to come to India because it’s significant. Everything takes baby steps. And obviously, the international place to enter the league is important to do that,” he said.
